Ælfsige (orAelfsige,Ælfsin[1] orAelfsin; died 959) wasBishop of Winchester before he becameArchbishop of Canterbury in 959.

Life

[edit]

Ælfsige became Bishop of Winchester in 951.[2] In 958, with the death of the previous ArchbishopOda, he was translated from the see of Winchester to become archbishop of Canterbury.[3] He is said by Arthur Hussey to have trampled contemptuously on Oda's grave, "with reproaches for having so long kept himself out of that dignity".[1]

Ælfsige died of cold in the Alps as he journeyed to Rome to be given hispallium by PopeJohn XII.[4][1] In his place KingEadwig nominatedByrhthelm. Ælfsige's will survives and shows that he was married,[5] with a son, Godwine of Worthy, who died in 1001 fighting against the Vikings.[6]
