Hræthhun (or Rethhun or Hrethhun) Bishop of Leicester, died 839 or 840.[Powicke "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 232] ]He was consecrated bishop between 814 and 816.[ He was styled Abbot of Abingdon in a charter dated 811. This charter was found to be a forgery, however, [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+166] , and so Kelly (2000) excluded him from the list of abbots. ]Notes
