Pehtwine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pehtwine ("Friend of the Picts"; d. 776 × 777) was an 8th-century English Bishop of Whithorn. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records his consecration as bishop at a place called Ælfetee;^[1] the consecration was perhaps conducted by Egbert, Archbishop of York.^[2] The same source(s) inform us that he died in either 776 or 777, on the "thirteenth before the Kalends of October", i.e. on September 19; it also says he was bishop for fourteen winters.^[3]
