(Abbot appointed on the death of Wilfrid 2) : Anonymous 144 decided to celebrate a mass each day for Wilfrid 2 and every week to celebrate Thursday (the day Wilfrid 2 died) as a feast as if a Sunday. On the anniversary of his death he decided to divide all the tithes of his herds and flocks amongst the poor all the days of his life for for the glory of God, apart from the alms which he gave each day both to teh needy and to God for himself and for the soul of his bishop (Wilfrid 2), always in his name.
