Eadnoth the Younger
Eadnoth the Younger or Eadnoth I was a medieval monk and prelate, successively Abbot of Ramsey and Bishop of Dorchester. From a prominent family of priests in the Fens, he was related to Oswald, Bishop of Worcester, Archbishop of York and founder of Ramsey Abbey. Following in the footsteps of his illustrious kinsman, he initially became a monk at Worcester. He is found at Ramsey supervising construction works in the 980s, and around 992 actually became Abbot of Ramsey. As abbot, he founded two daughter houses in what is now Cambridgeshire, namely, a monastery at St Ives and a nunnery at Chatteris. At some point between 1007 and 1009, he became Bishop of Dorchester, a see that encompassed much of the eastern Danelaw. He died at the Battle of Assandun in 1016, fighting Cnut the Great.
==Family==
Eadnoth the Younger was the son of Æthelstan Mannessune by a kinswoman of Oswald, Bishop of Worcester and Archbishop of York.〔Wareham, "St Oswald's Family", pp. 49–50〕 His father came from family of hereditary Fenland priests from in or around the Isle of Ely.〔 Æthelstan had lands in Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire, with "outlying" () estates in Norfolk and Lincolnshire.〔Hart, "Eadnoth I", p. 615〕 Eadnoth is styled "the Younger", ''Iunior'', to distinguish him from Eadnoth "the Elder", ''Senior'', the follower of Oswald who served as prior of the monastery of Ramsey in the years before Eadnoth the Younger became abbot.〔Lapidge (ed.), ''Byrhtferth'', pp. xvii–xviii, xxv–xxvi〕
Eadnoth the Younger had one brother, Godric (died 1013), and at least two sisters, Ælfwaru (died 1007) and Ælfwyn, all of whom inherited estates (in addition to a fishery) from their father.〔Wareham, "St Oswald's Family", pp. 49–51〕 Eadnoth, by contrast, became a monk at Worcester Abbey, where his mother's kinsman Oswald was bishop, and thus could not inherit anything.〔Wareham, "St Oswald's Family", p. 51〕 Eadnoth appears for the first time in the 980s when, according to the ''Liber Benefactorum Ecclesiae Ramesiensis'', he supervised the repair of the western tower of Ramsey Abbey.〔Lapidge (ed.), ''Byrhtferth'', pp. xxv–xxvi〕 Eadnoth became Abbot of Ramsey in 992,〔Lapidge, "Abbot Germanus", p. 409; Knowles, Brook and London, ''Heads of Religious Houses'', p. 61, give 993〕 having probably already taken over Eadnoth the Elder's duties as prior from at least 991, if not earlier.〔Lapidge (ed.), ''Byrhtferth'', p. 180, n. 144〕
