HILDA, ST

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 460 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HILDA, ST , strictly HILD (614-68o), was the daughter of Hereric, a nephew of Edwin, king of Northumbria. She was converted to Christianity before 633 by the preaching of Paulinus. According to Bede she took the veil in 614, when Oswio was king of Northumbria and Aidan bishop of Lindisfarne, and spent a year in East Anglia, where her sister Hereswith had married IEthelhere, who was to succeed his brother Anna, the reigning king. In 648 or 649
Hilda
  was recalled to Northumbria by Aidan, and lived for a year in a small monastic community north of the
Wear
 . She then succeeded Hein, the foundress, as abbess of Hartlepool, where she remained several years. From Hartle-pool
Hilda
  moved io Whitby, where in 657 she founded the famous
double
  monastery which in the time of the first abbess included among its members five future bishops, Bosa, 'Etta, Oftfor, John and Wilfrid II. as well as the poet Cxdmon. Hilda exercised great influence in Northumbria, and ecclesiastics from all over Christian England and from Strathclyde and Dalriada visited her monastery. In 655 after the battle of Winward Oswio entrusted his daughter 1Elfled to Hilda, with whom she went to Whitby. At the synod of Whitby in 664 Hilda sided with Colman and Cedd against Wilfrid. In spite of the defeat of the Celtic party she remained hostile to Wilfrid until 679 at any rate. Hilda died in 68o after a painful illness lasting for seven years.
See Bede, Hist. eccl. (ed. C. Plummer, Oxford, 1869), iii. 24, 25, iv. 23; Eddins, Vita Wilfridi (Raine, Historians of Church of
York
 , Rolls
Series
 , vol. i., 1879), c. liv.
