Persons associated with this Event:
- Agent:
Theodore 1
(Archbishop of Canterbury, 668-690) : Theodore 1 held a synod with other bishops (Anonymi 353) at which three people (Anonymi 331) laid claim to Wilfrid 2's see. While Wilfrid 2 was still alive, against his opposition, and without the consent of any bishop, Theodore 1 consecrated on his own the three as bishops.
- Recipient:
Wilfrid 2
(Bishop of York and Saint, d.709) : Three persons (Anonymi 331) attempted to seize and place themselves in the see that Wilfrid 2 had been ruling for ten years. They were consecrated by Theodore 1 on his own, while Wilfrid 2 was still alive, without episcopal consent and in spite of Wilfrid 2's opposition. Wilfrid 2 claimed that he did not inflame sedition or behave contentiously, but he immediately appealed to the Apostolic See and departed, only protesting at the bishops to his fellow-servants and fellow-bishops of these same provinces.
