Trumhere

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Britain around 600

Trumhere (also Thumere ) was the third bishop of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia . He was the successor of Ceollach and the first Anglo-Saxon to hold the mercian bishopric. His tenure ranged from 659 to 662.

Trumhere came from the royal house of Deira and was trained by Irish monks. Prior to his appointment as Bishop of Mercia, Trumhere was the first abbot of Gilling Monastery, founded by Oswine's wife Eanflæd , a close relative of Oswine, as atonement for the murder of King Oswine of Deira by the troops of King Oswius of Bernicia .

The appointment of Trumheres as Bishop of Mercia, Lindsey and the Central Angling Area may have been an attempt by King Oswius to consolidate Northumbria's supremacy over Mercia, although it has also been noted that it may have been King Wulfhere of Mercia , the Trumhere had started to reduce the Northumbrian influence represented by Ceollach.

Trumheres successor as Bishop of Mercia was Jaruman .
