Biography

Gervase of Canterbury says that Ceolnoth was Dean of the see of Canterbury previous to being elected to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury, but this story has no confirmation in contemporary records.[1] Ceolnoth was consecrated archbishop on 27 July 833.[2] In 836, Ceolnoth presided, with Wiglaf of Mercia, over a council held at Croft attended by the clergy of the southern part of Britain.[3] In 838 a council was held at Kingston where Ceolnoth made an alliance with the West Saxon kings Egbert and Æthelwulf.[4] This agreement gave control of all the free minsters in return for protection from Viking raids.[5] However, monastic life had declined under the pressure of the Viking attacks, and there was a noticeable decline in the quality of the books and other works produced by the scriptoriums.[4] He held councils in 839 and 845, the later at London.[6] Ceolnoth, however, corresponded with Pope Leo IV.[7] Archbishop Ceolnoth died on 4 February 870.[2]
