He was abbot of Chertsey Abbey, a Benedictine abbey in Surrey before he was selected for the see of Rochester.[ [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=33873 British History Online Bishops of Rochester] accessed on October 30, 2007] He was consecrated in 1058. He died in 1075.][Powicke "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 248] His death was commemorated on October 30, so he probably died on that date in 1075.][ After the appointment of Lanfranc as archbishop of Canterbury, the new archbishop found only four canons at Rochester under Siward's authority.][Smith "Early Community" "English Historical Review" p. 299] ]ee also
