Eanbald (fl. 798)

Eanbald II[a] (died c. 808) was an eighth century Archbishop of York and correspondent of Alcuin.

[1] Eanbald was consecrated the successor of his namesake to the archbishopric of York on 14 August 796.

[2] Alcuin wrote frequently to Eanbald, laying down many rules for the direction of his province.

There, he enacted a number of regulations relating to the ecclesiastical courts and the observance of Easter.

[6][7] Eanbald died sometime about 808,[2] perhaps as late as 830, if numismatic evidence is correct.
