This article states twice that Wulfstan was the last surviving Anglo-Saxon bishop. However, it also describes Theulf (apparently an Anglo-Saxon) as a bishop who survived Wulfstan. Wulfstan's page merely claims that he is the last surviving pre-Conquest bishop. Is it possible that this is an error? I cannot access the paywalled sources.

The term "held in plurality" is used twice in this article and many if not most readers will probably be unfamiliar with it. The best definition is in Crockford's Clerical Dictionary at this URL which states:
I would have wikilinked the WP entry Ecclesiastical polity#Plurality and singularity but then that section is mostly concerned with the plurality of elders and
but then "benefices" is wikilinked to the Church of England's definition Benefice#Church of England and is that the same as the Roman Catholic usage at the time of Nicholas? I'd like to add a Note (section) explaining what the term "held in plurality" means, with a cite to Crockford's or more but hesitate to do so out of deference since this article is the present Featured Article on the Main Page. Always willing to discuss and see what other editors think. - Shearonink ( talk) 02:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
The short description and one of the categories suggest that Nicholas was a member of the clergy. Do we actually have a citation for that? I don't see any mention of it in the body of the article. Graham ( talk) 03:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
