Cuthbert (c. 634 – 687) was an Anglo-Saxon monk and Bishop of Lindisfarne later venerated as a saint.

Biography[edit | edit source]

By 654, while living as a hermit in retirement, Cuthbert was visited by then-King of Deira, Ecgfrith.[1] Asking him to take back up his charge, Cuthbert was then later consecrated in York on 26 March 685.[2] After his return to the hermit life and his death in 687, Cuthbert was canonized as a saint.[1]

Cuthbert's exploits were later compiled by the historian monk Bede in the Vita S Cuthberti by the early 700s. Said work was then later adapted into an illustrated codex in the 12th century.[1]
