Denied episcopal office, Wilfrid spent the three years from 665 to 668 as abbot of the monastery at Ripon.

Chad retired gracefully and returned to his post as abbot of Lastingham, leaving Wilfrid as bishop of the Northumbrians at York.

In 661 King Alchfrith of Deira expelled Eata from Ripon, because he had appointed Wilfrid as the new abbot.

He was quickly made guest-master at the new monastery at Ripon, soon after 655, but had to return with Eata to Melrose when Wilfrid was given the monastery instead.

When Wilfrid was given the monastery, Eata and Cuthbert returned to Melrose.

He was quickly made guest-master at the new monastery at Ripon, soon after 655, but had to return with Eata to Melrose when Wilfrid was given the monastery instead.

It is quite clear that Oswiu intended Chad to be bishop over the entire Northumbrian people, overriding the claims of both Wilfrid and Eata.

In 663 Alhfrith and Wilfrid persuaded King Oswiu to hold the Synod of Whitby to decide which traditions within Christianity, Celtic or Roman, would take priority in Northumbria over matters such as the clerical tonsure and the date of Easter ; the synod decided to accept the arguments of Wilfrid and the king for the Roman traditions, to which Eata, unlike Colmán of Lindisfarne, acquiesced.

Wilfrid chose to be consecrated in Gaul because of the lack of what he considered to be validly consecrated bishops in England at that time.

As a result, and because of his performance at Whitby, Wilfrid was elected to a bishopric in Northumbria about a year after the council.

Bede was one of the first to break away from the standard Septuagint date for the creation and in his work De Temporibus (" On Time ") ( completed in 703 AD ) dated the creation to 18 March 3952 BC but was accused of heresy at the table of Bishop Wilfrid, because his chronology was contrary to accepted calculations of around 5500 BC.

The Rutherford government had acquiesced to this state of affairs: because the terms of confederation had been drawn up by the Liberal government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, it was natural for the provincial Liberal Party to cast itself as their defender.

Bede implies that Oswiu decided to take further action because Wilfrid was away for longer than expected.

This time, he was endorsed by reformist labourites and Liberal supporters of Wilfrid Laurier because of his opposition to conscription.

Wilfrid would thus have been literally preaching to the converted because everyone else was dead.

The vacancy may also have occurred because Wilfrid, who was at that point having problems in Northumbria, desired to become Archbishop of Canterbury.

Bede would also have been familiar with more recent accounts such as Eddius Stephanus's Life of Wilfrid, and anonymous Lives of Gregory the Great and Cuthbert.

Alchfrith ’ s position in the royal house, together with his promotion of Wilfrid ( who would be the spokesperson for the Roman position at the synod ), has contributed to the view that he was instrumental in arranging his father ’ s convocation of the synod.

Wilfrid would also have learned of the Rule of Saint Benedict in Gaul, as Columbanus ' monasteries followed that monastic rule.

If the two were in fact the same, Stephen would have been at least twenty years old when he came north, placing him in his sixties or older at Wilfrid ’ s death in 709.

The federal prime minister at the time, Wilfrid Laurier, suggested, however, that a preservation of the plains themselves would be a more fitting tribute, thus falling in line with the desires of the Earl Grey, who in January had travelled to Quebec to see whether the site could be dedicated as a part of the tercentenary celebrations.

According to Wilfrid Sheed, quoted in Time Magazine, " By silent consensus, the king of this army of unknown soldiers, the Hollywood incognitos, was Harry Warren, who had more songs on the Hit Parade than Berlin himself and who would win the contest hands down if enough people have heard of him.

All that Stonehaven would offer was Nottingham South, where the Conservative Association might be persuaded to support Jowitt should the sitting National Labour member George Wilfrid Holford Knight stand down.

Though not a candidate, he was a prominent campaigner supporting the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier during the 1911 federal election speaking across Ontario to promote both Laurier's plan for a Canadian navy and the trade reciprocity agreement negotiated between the federal government and the United States, against the opposition of prominent Liberal business leaders who feared free trade would be extended to manufacturing.

He would assume the portfolio of Minister of Municipal Affairs from Wilfrid Gariépy.

In his recent book on Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal Party, Sir John Willison writes of Meredith that " there have been few more useful and honourable in our history, and it can hardly be questioned that if he had joined Sir Charles Tupper he would have sensibly improved the prospects of the Conservative party ".

Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier considered a new location at Prince Rupert would be more easily defended and decided to build the terminal there rather than at Port Simpson.

Verville was elected by defeating a Liberal opponent, however, in subsequent elections the Liberals ran no candidate in Maisonville and threw their support to Verville who would generally support Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Liberals in the Canadian House of Commons.

Bede would also have been familiar with more recent accounts such as Eddius Stephanus's Life of Wilfrid, and anonymous Lives of Gregory the Great and Cuthbert.

Some spells cast projectiles, which could either kill or freeze enemies, while some would teleport Wilfrid around, either by turning him to a non-corporeal " shadow " or by instantly moving him to his starting point.

The offer in the end was that Wilfrid would retire to Ripon and cease acting as a bishop.

Wilfrid introduced the Rule of Saint Benedict into Ripon, claiming that he was the first person in England to make a monastery follow it, but this claim rests on the Vita Sancti Wilfrithi and does not say where Wilfrid became knowledgeable about the Rule, nor exactly what form of the Rule was being referred to.

The tension between the Roman and Irish traditions, often exacerbated by Cuthbert's near-contemporary Saint Wilfrid, an intransigent and quarrelsome supporter of Roman ways, was to be a major feature of Cuthbert's lifetime.

Bede writes that the dispute was brought to a head by Oswiu's son Eahlfrith, who had adopted Roman usages at the urging of Wilfrid.

Because of Agilbert ’ s inability to express the complicated arguments in Old English, which was for him a foreign language, Wilfrid was selected as the prime advocate for the Roman party.

Wilfrid argued the Roman position on the following grounds ( according to Bede's narrative ):

Wilfrid, chief advocate for the Roman position, later became Bishop of Northumbria, while Colmán and the Ionan supporters who did not change their practices withdrew to Iona.

Wilfrid ’ s advocation of the Roman Easter has been called, “ a triumphant push against an open door ”, since most of the Irish had already accepted the Roman Easter and for this reason Iona “ was already in danger of being pushed to one side by its Irish rivals ”.

In 664 Wilfrid acted as spokesman for the Roman " party " at the Council of Whitby, and became famous for his speech advocating that the Roman method for calculating the date of Easter should be adopted.

After Wilfrid's return to Northumbria in about 658, Cenwalh, King of Wessex, recommended Wilfrid to Alhfrith, Oswiu's son, as a cleric well-versed in Roman customs and liturgy.

Bede describes Wilfrid as saying that those who did not calculate the date of Easter according to the Roman system were committing a sin.

Wilfrid may have persuaded King Ecgberht of Kent in 669 to build a church in an abandoned Roman fort at Reculver.

The tension between the Roman and Irish traditions, often exacerbated by Cuthbert's near-contemporary Saint Wilfrid, an intransigent and quarrelsome supporter of Roman ways, was to be a major feature of Cuthbert's lifetime.

The parish church, dedicated to St Wilfrid, and the Roman Catholic church of St Paul are among the churches and chapels in Haywards Heath.

The Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Wilfrid while the local Roman Catholic church is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows.

The first choice to replace Tuda was Wilfrid, a particularly zealous partisan of the Roman cause.

Wilfrid met with his own teacher and patron, Agilbert, a spokesman for the Roman side at Whitby, who had been made bishop of Paris.

This had also manifested itself against Roman Catholic Prime Ministers of Canada as well, such as John Thompson, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
