Saint, bishop of Hagustaldt, or Hexham, in Northumberland, succeeded Wilfrid in that see in 709. He ornamented his cathedral in a most magnificent manner; furnished it with plate and holy vestments; and erected a noble library, consisting chiefly of ecclesiastical learning, and a large collection of the lives of the saints, which he was at great pains to procure. He was accounted a very able divine, and was famous for his skill in church music. He wrote several books, particularly Passiones Sanctorum, and Pro illustrandis Scripturis, ad Be-dam. He died in 740, having enjoyed the see of Hexham 31 years, under Egbert king of the Northumbrians.
