Plegmund
Plegmund (or Plegemund;〔 died 2 August either 914 or 923) was a medieval English Archbishop of Canterbury. He may have been a hermit before he became archbishop in 890. As archbishop, he reorganised the Diocese of Winchester, creating four new sees, and worked with other scholars in translating religious works. He was canonised after his death.
==Early life==
Little is known of the early life of Plegmund except that he was of Mercian descent.〔 A later tradition, dating 300 years after his death,〔Brooks ''Early History of the Church of Canterbury'' p. 153-154〕 stated that Plegmund lived as a hermit at Plemstall in Cheshire.〔Wareham "Plegemund" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 His reputation as a scholar〔Hindley ''Brief History of the Anglo-Saxons'' pp. 215–217〕 attracted the attention of King Alfred the Great, who was trying to revive scholarship.〔Keynes "Plegmund" ''Blackwell Encyclopedia of Anglo-Saxon England''〕 Some time before 887, Alfred summoned Plegmund to his court. There he worked with three other scholars, Wærferth, Bishop of Worcester, Æthelstan and Wærwulf in working on translating Pope Gregory the Great's treatise ''Pastoral Care'' into Old English.〔
