Another medieval bishop, this time not a monk. Infamous in English history, Stigand got the blame for the "wicked and corrupt" Anglo-Saxon Church right before the Norman Conquest. He served six kings of England - Cnut, Harthacanute, Harold Harefoot, Edward the Confessor, Harold Godwinson, and William the Conqueror. He held both the Archbishopric of Canterbury and the Bishopric of Winchester at the same time, and amassed enough wealth that his estates rivaled the king's. Eventually, he was deposed and died in captivity. Certainly not a "nice" man, but clearly influential in history. Co-nom with
User:Ning-ning who did a lot of the copyediting, and with
User:Ruhrfisch who put up with my PRing this twice and helped a lot with making it clearer.
User:Karanacs kindly helped with the copyediting also. Images were checked over by
User:Elcobbola. Please tell me where I can improve the article!
