He was buried here, his remains later translated to Durham Cathedral ( along with the relics of Saint Eadfrith of Lindisfarne ).

At some point in the early 700s the famous illuminated manuscript known as the Lindisfarne Gospels, an illustrated Latin copy of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, was made probably at Lindisfarne and the artist was possibly Eadfrith, who later became Bishop of Lindisfarne.

However, it is also possible that Eadfrith produced them prior to 698, in order to commemorate the elevation of Cuthbert's relics in that year, which is also thought to have been the occasion for which the St Cuthbert Gospel ( also British Library ) was produced.

Eadfrith, Bishop of Lindisfarne, was credited with writing the manuscript, Ethelwald, Bishop of the Lindisfarne islanders was credited with binding it, Billifrith, an anchorite, was credited with ornamenting the manuscript, and finally Aldred includes himself as the person who glossed it in Anglo-Saxon English.

Eadfrith and Ethelwald were both bishops at the monastery of Lindisfarne where the manuscript was produced.

Scholars think that the manuscript was written sometime between Cuthbert ’ s death in 687 and Eadfrith ’ s death in 721 ( BBC Tyne 2012 ).

The Gospels of Saint Chad ( Lichfield Cathedral, Chapter Library ) employ a very similar style to the Lindisfarne Gospels, and it is even speculated that the artist was attempting to emulate Eadfrith ’ s work ( Backhouse 1981, 66 ).

Aldhelm was the first Anglo-Saxon, so far as we know, to write in Latin verse, and his letter to Acircius ( Aldfrith or Eadfrith, king of Northumbria ) is a treatise on Latin prosody for the use of his countrymen.

Of his two grown sons by Cwenburh of Mercia, Osfrith died at Hatfield, and Eadfrith was captured by Penda and killed some time afterwards.

With both Edwin and his son Osfrith killed, and his other son Eadfrith captured by Penda ( and later killed ), the kingdom was divided between its constituent kingdoms of Bernicia and Deira.

The bishopric of Lindisfarne was held by Cuthbert at Aldfrith's accession ; Cuthbert was succeeded by the Irish-educated Eadberht, who would later be Abbot of Iona and bring the Easter controversy to an end, and then by Eadfrith, creator of the Lindisfarne Gospels.

According to Bede, Edwin married Cwenburh ( Quenberga ), daughter of " Cearl, king of the Mercians " while he was in exile, and with her had two sons, Osfrith and Eadfrith.

More evidence could be seen for a dynastic rivalry between Cearl and Penda in Penda's later execution ( according to Bede ) of Eadfrith, a captured son of Edwin who was Cearl's grandson through Cwenburh.

Eadfrith of Lindisfarne ( died 721 ), also known as Saint Eadfrith, was Bishop of Lindisfarne, probably from 698 onwards.

By the twelfth century it was believed that Eadfrith succeeded Eadberht and nothing in the surviving records contradicts this belief.

A colophon added to the Lindisfarne Gospels in the tenth century states that Eadfrith was the scribe and artist responsible for the work.

For this reason, many historians who accept that the work was authored by Eadfrith in person date it to the period before he became bishop.

At Durham Eadfrith, along with his predecessor Eadberht and successor Æthelwold, was commemorated on 4 June.

Backhouse emphasizes that, “ all Eadfrith ’ s colours are applied with great skill and accuracy, but ... we have no means of knowing exactly what implements he used ”.

Some scholars have argued that Eadfrith and Ethelwald did not produce the manuscript but commissioned someone else to do so.

The birds that appear in the manuscript may also have been from Eadfrith ’ s own observations of wildlife in Lindisfarne ( Backhouse 2004 ).

As Alan Thacker notes, the Lindisfarne Gospels are " undoubtedly the work of a single hand ," and Eadfrith remains regarded as " the scribe and painter of the Lindisfarne Gospels ".

Thacker points out that Eadfrith had a great amount of knowledge and influence from other artistic styles, suggesting Eadfrith had “ eclectic taste ” ( Thacker 2004 ).

Smith, Nicholson and Co. ( silversmiths ) made the binding with the intention of recreating motifs in Eadfrith ’ s work ( Backhouse 1981, 90 ).

Surviving pages from the Gospels of Saint Chad also have a cross-carpet page and animal and bird interlace, but the designs do not achieve the same perfection and seen as looser and heavier than Eadfrith ’ s ( Backhouse 1981, 66 ).

The Durham Gospels ( Durham Cathedral Library ) are suspected as being created slightly earlier than the Lindisfarne Gospels, and while they have the bird interlace, the birds lack the naturalness and realness of Eadfrith ’ s birds in the Lindisfarne Gospels ( Backhouse 1981, 67 ).
