History

Saxon

The line of bishops of Durham stretches back to the 10th century, when Aldhun, Bishop of Lindisfarne (995-1018), transferred his see to Durham. It owes its unique position to the 7th and 8th century Kingdom of Northumbria. This once stretched from the Humber to the Firth of Forth, making up almost a third of the entire mainland of Britain, although it was annexed by the Danish Kingdom of York in 878, by 954 Osulf of Bernicia obtained the ancient lands of Deira from Edred of England and Northumbria was transformed merely into an Earldom. Nevertheless, this still stretched from the River Tweed to the Humber and both the Bishops of Durham and the Earls of Northumbria remained virtually independent of the Kings of England, until the death of Tostig Godwinson at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066 As a means of recording the passage of time, the 10th century was that century which lasted from 901 to 1000. ...

1066-1090

When William the Conqueror became king of England in 1066, he soon realised he needed to control Northumbria to protect his kingdom from Scottish invasion. William gained the allegiance of both Bishop and Earl, and confirmed their powers and privileges, acknowledging the remote independence of Northumbria. Even so, rebellions followed. William I ( 1027 – September 9, 1087), was King of England from 1066 to 1087. ... Events January 6 - Harold II is crowned September 20 - Battle of Fulford September 25 - Battle of Stamford Bridge September 29 - William of Normandy lands in England at Pevensey. ...

William therefore attempted to install Robert Comine, a Norman noble, as the Earl of Northumbria, but before Comine could take up office, he and his 700 men were massacred in the City of Durham. In revenge, the Conqueror led his army in a bloody raid into Northumbria, an event that became known as 'the Harrying of the North'. Robert Comine (also Robert de Comines) was very briefly earl of Northumbria in 1068. ... Norman conquests in red. ... Durham is a local government district and city in County Durham. ... The Harrying (or Harrowing) of the North was a series of campaigns waged by William the Conqueror, King of England, in the winter of 1069–1070 in order to subjugate the north of his newfound English kingdom (primarily Northumbria and the Midlands) as part of the Norman Conquest of England. ...

Aethelwine, the Anglo-Saxon Bishop of Durham, tried to flee Northumbria at the time of the raid with Northumbrian treasures. The bishop was caught, imprisoned, and later died in confinement - leaving his see vacant, to be filled by the King's man William Walcher in 1071. As the North was still not subdued the King appointed Waltheof, an Anglo-Saxon of the old Northumbria house, as the new Earl. The Northumbrian province thus maintained a degree of political independence despite being in the king's gift. For other uses, see Anglo-Saxon. ... William Walcher (d. ... Waltheof, 1st Earl of Northampton (d. ...

A close friendship developed between Walcher and Waltheof and the earl built a castle at Durham for his bishop. Even so, Waltheof was eventually executed in 1075 after another rebellion - with Walcher being appointed earl in his place, becoming the first and only Earl-Bishop of Northumbria. Walcher was a well-intentioned man but proved an incompetent leader, and this led to his murder in Gateshead in 1081. This article is about Gateshead, England. ...

1090-1100

Despite Walcher's murder, the new King William Rufus continued William I's policy in Northumbria, replacing him with William of St. Carilef, who was also given the powers of Earl, but only south of the Rivers Tyne and Derwent.^[1] This became the County Palatine of Durham, a virtually separate state, and defensive buffer zone sandwiched between "civilized" England and the often-dangerous Northumbria-Scottish borderland, with St. Carilef its first head, possessing nearly all the powers in this that the king had elsewhere.

Because the Earl joined the new King Donald III of Scotland, William Rufus invaded and took direct control of Northumbria. Suspecting of supporting the revolt, Bishop Carileph was summoned to Windsor to meet the king; he died there on January 6, 1096.

Flambard had acquired a fortune for himself and the king by collecting revenue from postponed appointments and through his tough approach to taxing the barons. Therefore, after William's death, the new king Henry I imprisoned Flambard in the Tower of London to appease the barons.

The steward of Anthony Beck, Bishop of Durham (1284–1311).

The Prince Bishops of Durham, northern England, existed from 1081 to 1836.

Their powers within the Palatinate were immense. The County Palatine of Durham also had its own parliament. A parliament is a legislature, especially in those countries whose system of government is based on the Westminster system modelled after that of the United Kingdom. ...

'Prince Bishops'

Although they were often called Prince Bishops this title was not actually used by any of the office holders and the phrase "The Land of the Prince Bishops" is an invention of the tourist industry. A Prince-Bishop is a bishop who is a territorial prince of the church on account of one or more secular principalities, usually pre-existent nobiliary titles held concurrently with their inherent clerical office. ...

Suffragan bishops

Suffragan bishops were common in the diocese of Durham until the Reformation, as assistants to the vice-regal bishop, as they ensured that episcopal functions continued to be performed while the diocesan bishop was playing his expected part in affairs of state. For instance Bishop Langley was frequently in London and occasionally overseas, because of his office as chancellor (the highest ranking servant of the Crown) to Kings Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI.^[2] A suffragan bishop is a bishop subordinate to a metropolitan bishop. ... A viceroy is somebody who governs a country or province as a substitute for the monarch. ... For other uses, see Chancellor (disambiguation). ... Henry IV (3 April 1367 – 20 March 1413) was the King of England and France and Lord of Ireland from 1399 to 1413. ... Henry V of England (16 September 1387 – 31 August 1422) was one of the great warrior kings of the Middle Ages. ... Henry VI (December 6, 1421 – May 21, 1471) was King of England from 1422 to 1461 (though with a Regent until 1437) and then from 1470 to 1471, and King of France from 1422 to 1453. ...

Seals

To differentiate his ecclesiastical and civil functions, the Bishops used two or more seals: the traditional almond-shaped seal of a cleric, and the oval seal of a nobleman. They also had a large round seal showing them seated administering justice on one side, and, on the other, armed and mounted on horseback. That design was, and still is, used by monarchs as the Great Seal of the Realm. The Great Seal of the Realm is a British institution by which the monarch can authorise official documents without having to sign each document individually. ...

Coat of arms

As a symbol of his palatine jurisdiction, the Bishop of Durham’s coat of arms was set against a crosier and a sword, instead of two crosiers, and the mitre above the coat of arms was encircled with a coronet, usually of the form known as a ‘crest coronet’ (and which is blazoned as a ‘ducal coronet’ though not actually the coronet of a duke). Although the jurisdiction was surrendered to the Crown in 1836, these heraldic symbols of their former power remain.

Post-Reformation

In 1536 Henry VIII withdrew much of the Prince-Bishop's secular authority. The last pre-Reformation Bishop of Durham, Cuthbert Tunstall, was deprived by Elizabeth I in 1559. “Henry VIII” redirects here. ... Cuthbert Tunstall (or Tonstall) (1474 - November 18, 1559) was an English church leader, twice Bishop of Durham. ... This article is about Elizabeth I of England. ...

People born in Bedlington, or the other parts of old North Durham, still had birth certificates issued with the County Palatine of Durham printed on them, and the North Durham satellite areas governed their areas as Urban District Councils still under the rule of Durham. It was in 1974, the time of the boundary changes, that all of these areas, and other "autonomous" towns connected to Durham, lost their independence. Bedlington became part of Wansbeck District Council.
