Bishop of London and Saint
b. c. 630 · d. 30 Apr 693
Erkenwald, died 693, was a Saxon prince who served as Bishop of London between 675 and 693 and is the first post-Roman-period Bishop of London to begin the unbroken succession in the Saxon See of London. He is the eponymous subject of the poem St. Erkenwald, regarded as one of the most important poems in the foundations of English literature, and thought to be by the same author as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The poem is concerned with ecumenical and interfaith dynamics.
