).
IN a previous chapter I spoke of the somewhat heated conference held at Whitby in 664, and it may be remembered that the most successful controversialist there present was Wilfred, Abbot of Ripon, an earnest and hard-working but ambitious and rather tactless personage, who had once been a monk at Lindisfarne (Holy Island), and had afterwards been trained at Lyons and Rome.
A few years after the Whitby affair this Wilfred was appointed Bishop of York, but in 678 he quarrelled with his soverei...gn, Ecgfrith of North- umbria, and was deposed. The cause of the trouble was the virginal Queen Aethelthryth (Etheldrida), afterwards known as St. Audrey, wife of Ecgfrith, and daughter of Anna, King of East Anglia (Norfolk and Suffolk), who, for twelve years of married life kept her husband at arms' length, and finally announced her intention of becoming a nun.
