ALPHEGE [zELFHEAH], SAINT (954-1023)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 732 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALPHEGE [zELFHEAH], SAINT (954-1023) , archbishop of
Canterbury
 , came of a noble family, but in early
life
  gave up everything for religion. Having assumed the monastic habit in the monastery of Deerhurst, he pased thence to Bath, where he became an anchorite and ultimately abbot, distinguishing himself by his piety and the austerity of his
life
 . In 984 he was appointed through Dunstan's
influence
  to the bishopric of Winchester, and in roo6 he succeeded IElfric as archbishop of
Canterbury
 . At the sack of Canterbury by the Danes in roll i lfheah was captured and kept in prison for seven months. Refusing to pay a
ransom
  he was barbarously murdered at Greenwich on the 19th of
April
  1012. He was buried in St Paul's, whence his
body
  was removed by Canute to Canterbury with all the ceremony of a
great
  act of state in 1023.
Lives of St. Alphege in
prose
  (which survives) and in verse were written by command of
Lanfranc
  by the Canterbury monk Osbern (d. c. 1090), who says that his account of the solemn
translation
  to Canterbury in 1023 was received from the dean, Godric, one of Alphege's own scholars.
