Ælfric of Abingdon
Ælfric of Abingdon (; died 16 November 1005), also known as Ælfric of Wessex, was a late 10th-century Archbishop of Canterbury. He previously held the offices of abbot of St Albans Abbey and Bishop of Ramsbury, as well as likely being the abbot of Abingdon Abbey. After his election to Canterbury, he continued to hold the bishopric of Ramsbury along with the archbishopric of Canterbury until his death in 1005. Ælfric may have altered the composition of Canterbury's cathedral chapter by changing the clergy serving in the cathedral from secular clergy to monks. In his will he left a ship to King Æthelred II of England as well as more ships to other legatees.
==Early life==
Ælfric was the son of an earl of Kent〔Barlow ''English Church 1000–1066'' p. 125 footnote 3〕 and became a monk of Abingdon Abbey in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). He was very likely Abbot of Abingdon〔Mason "Ælfric" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 before becoming Abbot of St Albans Abbey around 975,〔Knowles, et al. ''Heads of Religious Houses'' p. 65〕 although some historians do not believe that he held the office of Abbot at Abingdon. Although the ''Historia Ecclesie Abbendonensis'', or ''History of the Church of Abingdon'', names Ælfric as abbot, the abbatial lists do not record him as such. Indirect corroboration of his being abbot at Abingdon is a grant of land to Ælfric personally (instead of to the office he held) while he was archbishop that had previously been unjustly taken from Abingdon. This land was to revert to Abingdon after Ælfric's death.〔
