Ceolnoth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (185 words) |
 | The Dean of Canterbury, Ceolnoth, became the 17th archbishop when he was consecrated to the Archbishopric on 27th July AD 833. |
| Ceolnoth maintained the importance of Canterbury in the Church of England by forming close alliances with the Crown: At the Council held at Kingston, in AD 838, a perpetual alliance was concluded between the See of Canterbury and Ecgberht and Aethelwulf, the West Saxon Kings. |
| During the archiepiscopate of Ceolnoth, England was perpetually harassed by Danish raids and it seems that Ceolnoth was able to secure a certain measure of peace by coining a considerable amount of money with which he bought a peace treaty with the Danes. |
