Feologild (or Feologeld) was Archbishop of Canterbury in 832.
[edit] Life
Feologild attended the Council of Clovesho in 803, and was listed on the acts of that council as an abbot of a Kentish monastery.[1] He was elected to the see of Canterbury in early 832 and consecrated on June 9, 832. He died on August 30, 832.[2] Some controversy surrounds whether or not he was actually elected as archbishop, with the historian Nicholas Brooks suggesting that there was a disputed election after the death of Wulfred, and Feologild was one of the contenders.[3] The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography reports than he may be identical with Swithred, who is listed as archbishop in some lists of the period [4]. It is possible that another form of the name was Syred.
