The Life of Wilfrid offers us a graphic portrait of one of the most
forceful characters in the history of the English Church: a man
courageous and energetic yet at the same time litigious,
ostentatious and overbearing, his life punctuated by restless
travels and the most violent quarrels. Of noble birth, Wilfrid
(c.634 709) gained his first experience of monastic life as a boy
at Lindisfarne. Thereafter we find him at various times, crossing
Gaul, staying in Lyons, visiting Rome, back in England at York,
Ripon or Hexham, preaching to heathens in Sussex or Frisia,
quarrelling with kings and bishops, imprisoned in Northumbria,
again in Rome seeking papal support for his claims, founding
monasteries in the Midlands and at last, in his old age, reconciled
to those with whom he had earlier quarrelled so bitterly. Partisan
but highly detailed, the Life was probably written within a decade
of the saint's death. It is a remarkable account of a powerful
personality who aroused affection and dislike in almost equal
proportions.
