DURHAM.

724 Aediluald[1], abbot of Mailros who became bishop in 724; and having sat sixteen years, died in 740[2], and was buried at Lindisfarne.

740 Cynuulf[3] succeeded to the bishopric in 740. He was deposed and imprisoned in Bamborough castle in 750[4] by king Eadberht, and resigned his office in 780[5]; or rather he delegated his powers to Higbald, who became his successor. He died four years afterwards[6].

780 HiGBALD, the coadjutor of Cynuulf, succeeded in 780[7], and was consecrated in 781[8]. He died 25th May 802[9].

802 Ecgberht[10] was consecrated 12th June 802[11]; if he sat eighteen years, as Turgot affirms[12], he must have died in 821; but Florence of Worcester, the only one who mentions his death, places it in 819, and the consecration of his successor in the same year.

819 Heathored[13]. He governed the see nine years[14], and died in 828[15].
