Higbald of Lindisfarne


 

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.
