Higbald of Lindisfarne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Higbald of Lindisfarne was Bishop of Lindisfarne from 780 until his death on June 24, 803. Little is known about his life except that he was a regular communicator with Alcuin of York; it is in his letters to Alcuin that Higbald described in graphic detail the Viking raid on Lindisfarne on June 8, 793 in which many of his monks were killed.
