Ealdwulf

Ealdwulf was an Anglo-Saxon prelate who served as Bishop of Lichfield. His episcopate is traditionally dated to the late 10th and early 11th centuries. Little is definitively known about his early life or consecration. Historical records indicate his presence at several significant church councils and synods of the period, suggesting he was an active participant in ecclesiastical affairs.

Ealdwulf is primarily remembered for his role in the administration of the Diocese of Lichfield during a time of significant change and political instability in England. He would have overseen the spiritual welfare of his diocese and managed its temporal affairs. The precise end of his tenure as bishop is uncertain, with some sources placing his death in the early 11th century. His successor, Wulfstan the Younger, is recorded in the early 1000s, implying Ealdwulf's death or retirement occurred shortly before this. His contributions, though sparsely documented, place him within the lineage of bishops who shaped the church in Anglo-Saxon England.
