Æthelnoth (archbishop of Canterbury)
Æthelnoth (also Ethelnoth, Ednoth, or Eadnodus;〔 died 1038) was a medieval Archbishop of Canterbury. Descended from an earlier English king, Æthelnoth became a monk prior to becoming archbishop. While archbishop, he travelled to Rome and brought back saint's relics. He consecrated a number of other bishops who came from outside his archdiocese, leading to some friction with other archbishops. Although he was regarded as a saint after his death, there is little evidence of his veneration or of a cult in Canterbury or elsewhere.
==Early life==
Æthelnoth was a son of the Æthelmær the Stout and a grandson of Æthelweard the Historian,〔 who was a great-great-grandson of Æthelred I. In the view of the historian Frank Barlow, Æthelnoth was probably the uncle of Godwin of Wessex.〔Barlow ''Godwins'' p. 21〕 He was baptised by Dunstan, and a story was told at Glastonbury Abbey that as the infant was baptised, his hand made a motion much like that an archbishop makes when blessing. From this motion, Dunstan is said to have prophesied that Æthelnoth would become an archbishop.〔Mason "Æthelnoth" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕
Æthelnoth became a monk at Glastonbury, then was made dean of the monastery of Christ Church Priory, at Canterbury, the cathedral chapter for the diocese of Canterbury.〔Knowles, et al. ''Heads of Religious Houses'' p. 33〕 He was also a chaplain to King Cnut of England and Denmark as well as Dean of Canterbury when on 13 November 1020 Æthelnoth was consecrated as Archbishop of Canterbury.〔Fryde, et al. ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 214〕 Æthelnoth's elevation probably was a gesture of appeasement, as Æthelnoth's brother Æthelweard had been executed in 1017 by Cnut, who also banished a brother-in-law named Æthelweard in 1020. A later story stated that Cnut favoured Æthelnoth because Æthelnoth had bestowed chrism on the king. This may be a garbled account of Æthelnoth's participation in Cnut's confirmation as a Christian in 1016 or his coronation in 1017.〔 There are some indications that he was a student of Ælfric of Eynsham, the homilist.〔Barlow ''English Church 1000–1066'' pp. 72–73〕
