 | | Britannia Biographies: St. Haedda of Winchester, Bishop of Wessex |
 | | In AD 688, he persuaded King Caedwalla of Wessex to resign his throne in order to go on a pilgrimage to Rome and, later, assisted King Ine in framing his code of good and wholesome laws. |
 | | Haedda is best known, however, for, around AD 690, removing the seat of the Bishopric, from its original foundation at Dorchester-on-Thames, to Winchester, where the new cathedral adjoined the Royal palace. |
