Topic: Jaenbert


  
  EBK: St. Jaenbert, Archbishop of Canterbury   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Jaenbert was a native Kentishman was became the Abbot of St. Augustine's, Canterbury.
He obtained the consent of Pope Hadrian II and, at the Synod of Chelsea in AD 787, Jaenbert was compelled to relinquish several Dioceses which belonged to the Province of Canterbury.
Jaenbert held a number of other synods at Brentford and Aclea, as well as Chelsea; but he shunned Clofesho (possibly Brixworth in Northamptonshire) because of its strong connections with the Mercian monarchy.

 Jaenbert   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Nothing is known of his life till 760, when he was elected Abbot of St. Augustine's, Canterbury, and blessed by Archbishop Bregwin.
When the archbishop died he was buried at Christ Church, and Jaenbert asserted the rights of his own abbey as the traditional burying-place with such vigour that according to a late tradition the monks of Christ Church elected him archbishop to avoid his appeal to Rome.
He was consecrated on 2 February, 766, and received the pallium from Pope Paul I in 767.

 Free Ebooks of Offa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In 787, the English episcopate consented and the archbishop of Canterbury, Jaenbert, did not protest.
Coins were also struck at Canterbury in the name of Archbishops Jaenbert and Aethelheard.
Around the time of Jaenbert's death and replacement with Aethelheard in 792-3 the silver currency was reformed a second time: in the subsequent heavy coinage the weight standard and flan-size were increased, and a standardised non-portrait design was introduced at all three mints.

 Offa of Mercia - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Charlemagne considered this demand a serious affront, and responded by temporarily closing Frankish ports to traders from England.
Offa came into conflict with Jaenbert, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and he tried to reduce the power of Canterbury through the establishment of a rival archdiocese at Lichfield, obtaining the approval of Pope Adrian I.
A council at Chelsea agreed to its creation in 787, although only after some dispute.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ethelhard
The king sought to consolidate his kingdom by giving it an independent ecclesiastical organization; for although Northumbria had its own archbishopric at York, Mercia, after conquering Kent, was still ecclesiastically subject to the powerful see of Canterbury, then ruled over by Jaenbert (766-791).
On the death of Jaenbert (12 Aug., 791), Ethelhard was raised to the see through the influence of Offa, which makes it likely that he was a Mercian abbot.
Although he was elected in 791, his consecration only took place on 21 July, 793: the delay being probably due to the unwillingness of the Kentish clergy and people to receive a Mercian archbishop, and to his being consecrated by the Archbishop of Lichfield.

 The Antiochian Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom and Ireland
The powerful King Offa of Mercia (757-796) had enlarged his kingdom until there was only Mercia, Northumbria, and Wessex left in what we now know as England.
Bishop Higbert received the pallium (Archbishop’s Omophorion) as Archbishop of Lichfield, and the Archbishop of Canterbury was left with only London, Winchester, Sherborne, Rochester, and Selsey as suffragan sees.
On the death of Archbishop Jaenbert (12 Aug., 791), Aethelheard was moved from Louth to Canterbury through the direct influence of King Offa.

 Did King Offa Become a Muslim?
The Pope’s official representatives were received warmly by Offa and were present at the Council of Chelsea (787), often called `the contentious synod', where it was proposed that the Archbishopric of Canterbury be restricted in order to make way for Offa's new archbishop.
It was vehemently opposed, but Offa and the papal representatives defeated Archbishop Jaenbert, installing Higbert as the new Archbishop of Lichfield.
Pope Adrian sent Higbert his ceremonial garment, obviously denoting his support for this move.
