Feologild

Life List of archbishops from Canterbury Cathedral, which lists Feologild almost half-way down the first panel.

Feologild attended the Council of Clovesho in 803, and was listed on the acts of that council as an abbot of a Kentish monastery.

According to the editors of the Handbook of British Chronology, he was elected to the see of Canterbury in early 832 and consecrated on 9 June 832, as a successor to Wulfred, although they qualify this statement with a "?" in their lists. The Handbook gives his successor as "Suithred", and note that he may have been a rival to Feologild. The historian Simon Keynes holds that the other contestant was Suithred (Swithred) who the historian William Hunt in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography argues is identical with Feologild. Swithred is listed as archbishop in some early lists of the archbishops of Canterbury.

While some documentation survives from Canterbury in the ninth century, including a number of charters from Feologild's predecessors and successors, the literary works from later periods that cover the period are prone to fabricating information to fill in gaps in the record. The next archbishop was Ceolnoth, who worked to establish better relations with the monarchs of Wessex, apparently successfully. Another problem for Feologild's immediate successors as archbishop were Viking invasions, as Viking raids are attested in Kent from 835.
