Headda

Headda[a] (died c. 721) was a medieval Bishop of Lichfield.

[1] He held the see of Leicester along with Lichfield.

[1] In 706 Headda consecrated the new church constructed at Crowland by Guthlac.

[2] Prior to Headda's consecration, he had "almost certainly" been abbot of the monastery at Breedon, in Leicestershire, before which he may also have been a monk at Medeshamstede.
