[edit] Life

Feologild attended the Council of Clovesho in 803, and was listed on the acts of that council as an abbot of a Kentish monastery.[1] He was elected to the see of Canterbury in early 832 and consecrated on 9 June 832. He died on 30 August 832.[2] Some controversy surrounds whether or not he was actually elected as archbishop, with the historian Nicholas Brooks suggesting that there was a disputed election after the death of Wulfred, and Feologild was one of the contenders.[3] The historian Simon Keynes holds that the other contestant was Suithred,[4] or Swithred, who the historian William Hunt in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography argues is identical with Feologild. Swithred is listed as archbishop in some lists of the period.[1]
