Eadmund of Durham (or Edmund) was Bishop of Durham from 1021 to 1041.[1]
Symeon of Durham relates the story that Eadmund was a monk of Durham, and that he was chosen because a stange voice that came from the tomb of Saint Cuthbert insisted that Eadmund be selected as the next bishop.[2] His election was confirmed by King Cnut of England.[3] Eadmund died while visiting the English royal court at Gloucester in 1041.[2]
