Life

Wulfsige was nominated about 993. He died on 8 January 1002.

Wulfsige took part in the tenth century Benedictine monastic reform movement in England. He had been a monk of Glastonbury Abbey under Dunstan, became a monk of Westminster Abbey during Dunstan's tenure as Bishop of London, was appointed abbot of Westminster, probably from before 966, when he first occurs. He was appointed to Sherborne by King Edgar the Peaceful, and held the abbacy along with the bishopric of Sherborne until at least 997.

Wulfsige is considered a saint and Goscelin wrote a hagiography of him, which has been translated by Rosalind Love.
