Brihthelm or Beorhthelm was a Bishop of Selsey.
According to a South Saxon charter, supposedly from 956, Brihthelm received a grant of land from a King Eadwig, however the charter (S.616) is likely to have been a later forgery, although probably based on a genuine contemporary document.[1][2]
A charter (S.1291) issued by Brihthelm in 957, that was to do with the restoration of lands seized around Selsey by a certain Ælfsige, is also thought to be suspicious, but again it is probable that a genuine contemporary document lies behind it.[3][4]
Brihthelm died between 956 and 963, or he may have been transferred to Winchester around then.[5]
