Wilfrid II or Wilfrith II was the last Bishop of York, as the see was converted to an Archbishopric during the time of his successor.

Life

He was a monk at Whitby and studied there when Hilda was abbess.Walsh "A New Dictionary of Saints" p. 624] He was consecrated in 718,Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 224] as a coadjutor bishop to John of Beverley, and succeeded to the see in 721.

He was described as a very holy man, and interested in education. He embellished York Minster during his time, having silver vessels made for use at the altar and having the altar and the crosses covered with gold and silver leaf.

He resigned the Bishopric in 732, and died about 744. He was canonized, with his feast day being 29 April. [ [http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=2109 St. Wilfred the Younger at Catholic Online] accessed on 19 August 2007]
