Pehtwine

Pehtwine ("Friend of the Picts"; d. 776 × 777) was an 8th century English Bishop of Whithorn. The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" records his consecration as bishop at a place called "Ælfetee"; [ [http://asc.jebbo.co.uk/d/d-L.html ASC MS D] , s.a. 762; [http://asc.jebbo.co.uk/e/e-L.html ASC MS E] , s.a. 762; Anderson, "Scottish Annals", p. 58.] the consecration was perhaps conducted by Egbert, Archbishop of York. [Bateson & Costambeys, "Pehtwine (d. 776/7)".] The same source(s) inform us that he died in either 776 or 777, on the "thirteenth before the Kalends of October", i.e. on September 19; it also says he was bishop for fourteen winters.
