From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eanbald I (??? - August 10, 796)

Eanbald was elected Archbishop of York in 780. He witnessed the first attacks of the Danes on Northumbria. The country was so widely ravaged, that in 790, the Yorkist scholar, Alcuin, deserted the city for the Frankish Court of the Emperor Charlemagne. Eanbald died at the monastery of Etlete or Edete.
