ÆTHELSTAN, BISHOP OF HEREFORD
Bishop Æthelstan (Aethelstanus) of Hereford was a man of great holiness. He suffered from blindness for thirteen years and therefore had to rely heavily on a deputy. In A.D. 1056 he died at his episcopal villa called Bosanbirig and his body was taken from there to Hereford for burial.
