Eanbald II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eanbald II (??? - c. 808) was consecrated the successor of his namesake to the Archbishopric of York on August 14, 796.
Alcuin wrote frequently to the new Archbishop, laying down many rules for the direction of his province. He sent many gifts to York, including a shipload of metal (stagnum) for the roof of the bell tower at York Minster.
Eanbald assisted Æthelhard, Archbishop of Canterbury, to recover the rights of which the See of Canterbury had been despoiled by Offa.
In 798 he assembled his clergy in synod at Finchale, near Durham. There, he enacted a number of regulations relating to the ecclesiastical courts and the observance of Easter. He may have been the first to introduce the Roman Ritual in the church of York.
