[edit] Life
Grimketel was appointed Bishop of Selsey in 1038 or 1039 and "Briefly in 1043-1044 Grimketel was also installed as bishop of Elmham, when the current bishop (Stigand) was temporarily deprived of the see. There was a simple reference to this episode in the earlier recension of the Worcester Chronicle, which was later elaborated with some unreliable detail; the revised version states that Grimketel bought the East Anglican see (the words pro auro have been substituted for pro eo) and that Stigand became bishop of Selsey, which is not credible."[1][2]
He was inserted into Elmham in 1042 and ejected in 1043.[3]
He died in 1047[4] and was buried at Christ Church Priory Canterbury.[5]
