	Asser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is not certain whether his birth name was "Gwyn" (or "Guinn"), which is Welsh for "blessed" (or "blessedness"), or "Asser" (or "Asher"), which is Hebrew for "blessed" and the name of Jacob's eighth son in the Bible.
		During the 19th and 20th centuries, several scholars asserted that Asser's biography of King Alfred was not authentic but a forgery; at least one scholar claimed the forger was Bishop Leofric of Devon and Cornwall (became bishop 1046, died 1072).

		In 1626 Sir John Stawell of Cothelstone purchased the bishop's manor from Charles I. His son supported the cavalier cause in the Civil War but was defeated by General Blake.
		After the death of the last Stawell of Cothelstone in 1692, the bishop's manor was placed in the trusteeship of John Periam, whose son-in-law Thomas Lethbridge bought the Manor in 1722.
		The first mention of a church in Bishops Lydeard is in a document dated 1239 but it was an important manor in King Alfred's time, when it was given to the Bishop of Sherborne, so it is certain to have had some place of worship.

		LAURENCE, whom Austin had ordained bishop, lest at his death the church in her infant state should be exposed to danger, if she should be left destitute of a Pastor for ever so short a time, succeeded him in the see of Canterbury.
		For king Ethelwald [son of king Ethelwulf] and Ealstan, bishop of the church of Sherborne, with Eanwulf, earl of the district of Somerton, are said to have made a conspiracy together, that king Ethelwulf, on his return from Rome, should never again be received into his kingdom.
		In the same year, Ealstan, bishop of the church of Sherborne, went the way of all flesh, after he had honourably ruled his see four years, and he was buried at Sherborne.

		In the eighth century the pope granted the pallium to Egbert, Bishop of York, and thus restored the see as an archbishopric according to a scheme already foreshadowed in St.
		At first the bishop seems to have been seised of these endowments, as also of the tithes and of the general contributions for ecclesiastical purposes known as "Church-shot", but soon the parish priest himself acquired, along with fixity of tenure, the administration of these emoluments.
		It is quite possible that the general prevalence in England of lay patrons with the right to present to benefices is to be traced to the fact that the parish church in so many cases originated in the private oratory of the lord of the township.

	Wellington
		The manor of Wellington was bestowed by Alfred the Great on his friend and biographer Asser, bishop of Sherborne, and on his death was transferred to the bishop of the newly-erected diocese of Wells, by whose successor it was held at the time of the Domesday Survey, in which it is written Walintone.
		The town is situated on high ground about a mile and a half south of the river Tone, and consists chiefly of two streets intersecting in the middle of the town ; one of them is along the road from Taunton to Exeter.
		The living is a vicarage, united with the chapelry of West Buckland, in the peculiar jurisdiction of the bishop of Bath and Wells : their joint clear yearly value is £894, with a glebe-house.

	Asser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Asser is remembered as the author of a Latin biography of King Alfred ('the Great') of Wessex, written during the king's lifetime.
		At the time of his death (in 909) Asser was bishop of Sherborne.
		Much of the material is obviously derived from the 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle', and the last quoted date is 887 (but a passing mention of Alfred's forty-fifth year appears to indicate that the 'Life' was written in 893).

		Later, Asser received a grant of Exeter, and was made Bishop of Sherborne, before 900.
		The authentic work of Asser is found only in the edition of Francis Wise (1722), printed from a tenth-century Cottonian MS.
		The burning of the cakes, references to St. Neot, and to Alfred's founding the University of Oxford are not in Asser's work, nor does Florence of Worcester allude to them, although he drew freely on that work, without, however, and mention of Asser's name.

		In 1991 he was elected Bishop of Monmouth, and in 1999 he was made Archbishop of Wales.

		On the other hand some Evangelicalism Anglicans were troubled by his opinions on the ordination of women as bishops and on Christian views of homosexuality, and some also regarded as unorthodox his views on central doctrinal issues such as revelation, sin and salvation.

		The bishop feared for this terrible misfortune and for the king's life, and said that it seemed best to him that he should submit to that which Hingwar had demanded of him.
		Then they were all brought to the bishop, and he commanded men to hang them all on a high gallows; but he was not mindful how the merciful God spoke through His prophet the words which here stand: Eos qui du****ur ad mortem eruere ne cesses: "always deliver those who are led to death".
		Then Theodred the bishop, after he had searched his books, rued with lamentation that he had awarded such a cruel doom to these unhappy thieves, and ever deplored it to his life's end; and earnestly prayed the people to fast with him fully three days, praying the Almighty that He would have pity upon him.

		Further, she adds that there is no reason to assume that Asser would have felt compelled to use an official formula.8 Although Galbraith refused to recant, arguments such as these convinced most scholars that the Life of King Alfred was written by none other than the king's own tutor and friend, Asser, bishop of Sherborne.
		Even if we are to suppose that the See of Sherborne was not bestowed upon him until after Alfred's death, it would be difficult to believe that Asser somehow managed to earn this royal favor during the course of a single year, especially when his presence at Alfred's court is already an undisputed fact.
		While this "bishop of Sherborne" was probably Asser's predecessor, bishop Wulfsige, what is important here is that the inheritance is being bestowed upon the bishop of Sherborne in accordance with the prominence of his office.

		Thus, Saint David (Dewi Sant) went on a pilgrimage to Rome during the 6th century, and was serving as a bishop in Wales well before Augustine arrived to convert the king of Kent and found the diocese of Canterbury.
		The conquest of Wales by England did not take place in 1066, when England was conquered by the Normans, but was gradual, not being complete until 1282, when King Edward I of England defeated Llywelyn the Last, Wales's last independent prince, in battle.
