When he died, he, along with Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, were the only remaining bishops still remaining from Edward the Confessor's appointments.

He helped secure the election of Wulfstan as his successor at Worcester.

The story of Ealdred being deposed comes from the Vita Edwardi, a life of Edward the Confessor, but the Vita Wulfstani, an account of the life of Ealdred's successor at Worcester, Wulfstan, says that Nicholas refused the pallium until a promise to find a replacement for Worcester was given by Ealdred.

He was present at the council of May 1008 at which Wulfstan II, Archbishop of York, preached his Sermo Lupi ad Anglos ( The Sermon of the Wolf to the English ), castigating the English for their moral failings and blaming the latter for the tribulations afflicting the country.

890 by Wulfstan of Hedeby, an Anglo-Saxon sailor, travelling on the south coast of the Baltic Sea at the behest of King Alfred the Great of England.

Around the year 890, Wulfstan of Hedeby ( by his own account ) undertook a seven-days boat journey from Hedeby to Truso at the behest of king Alfred the Great.

Though in general the witan were recognized as the king's closest advisors and policy-makers, various witan also operated in other capacities ; there are mentions of þeodwitan, ' people's witan ', Angolcynnes witan, ' England's witan ', and an Anglo-Saxon Archbishop of York, Wulfstan II, wrote that " it is incumbent on bishops, that venerable witan always travel with them, and dwell with them, at least of the priesthood ; and that they may consult with them .. and who may be their counsellors at every time.

Eadred “ reduced all the land of Northumbria to his control ; and the Scots granted him oaths that they would do all that he wanted .” Moreover, in 947 he convened Archbishop Wulfstan and the Northumbrian witan at Tanshelf ( now in Pontefract, West Yorkshire ), on the boundary of the Humber ( near an old Roman road ), where they pledged their obedience to him.

It has likewise been suggested that Eadred's punitive attack on the ancient minster of Ripon, which carried little military weight, was targeted at Wulfstan in particular.

Wulfstan is still seen at court in 950, but of the five charters which were issued in 951, not one was attested by him, which once again may imply his backing of Amlaíb.

We do know, however, that in 952, the same year that Eirik began his second term at York, Wulfstan was arrested and stood on trial in Iudanbyrig ( unknown ) on account of several unspecified allegations which had been repeatedly brought before Eadred.

The earliest part of the building at Worcester is the multi-columned Norman crypt with cushion capitals remaining from the original monastic church begun by St Wulfstan in 1084.

In that year he was appointed to Cnut's church at Ashingdon, or Assandun, which was dedicated by the reforming bishop Wulfstan of York.

He was found working on it at the behest of Wulfstan, bishop of Worcester ( d. 1095 ), when the Anglo-Norman chronicler Orderic Vitalis visited Worcester sometime in the early 12th century.

The archbishop was present, along with Archbishop Wulfstan of York, at council that proclaimed the first of these law codes and which was held by Edmund at London, over Easter around 945 or 946.

This attempt came at the death of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester in 1095, when the king sent writs to the free tenants of the bishop, setting the amount of relief owed to the king.

Wulfstan was born about 1008 at Long Itchington in the English county of Warwickshire.

Wulfstan was ordained shortly thereafter, in 1038, and soon joined a monastery of Benedictines at Worcester.

By 951, Wulfstan appears to have supported Erik's claim to the kingdom of York over Olaf as he ceased to witness charters at the English court.

Although Ealdred gave up the bishopric, the appointment of Wulfstan was one that allowed Ealdred to continue his considerable influence on the see of Worcester.

Around 890, Wulfstan of Hedeby undertook a journey from Hedeby on Jutland along the Baltic Sea to the Prussian trading town of Truso.

However, in 943, when Amlaíb had marched on to Leicester, one of the Boroughs, he and Wulfstan were besieged by Edmund and managed to escape only by a hair's breadth.

The chronicler Æthelweard is clearer on the point of agency, writing that it was Wulfstan and the ealdorman ( dux ) of the Mercians who deposed these ' deserters ' – perhaps born again pagans – and forced them to submit to Edmund.

He interceded for Waltheof ’ s life and to the last spoke of the earl as an innocent sufferer for the crimes of others ; he lived on terms of friendship with Bishop Wulfstan of Worcester.

Much of William's work on Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester is thought to derive from a first-hand account from Coleman, a contemporary of Wulfstan, William merely translating the document from Old English into Latin.

Wulfstan was consecrated Bishop of Worcester on 8 September 1062, by Ealdred.

At Easter of 1158, Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine visited Worcester Cathedral and placed their crowns on the shrine of Wulfstan, vowing not to wear them again.

Wulfstan was canonized on 14 May 1203 by Pope Innocent III.

Wulfstan must have early on garnered the favour of powerful men, particularly Æthelred king of England, for we find him personally drafting all royal law codes promulgated under Æthelred's reign from 1005 to 1016.

In 1009 Wulfstan wrote the edict that Æthelred II issued calling for the whole nation to fast and pray for three days during Thorkell's raids on England, in a national act of penance.

After Cnut conquered England, Wulfstan quickly became an advisor to the new king, as evidenced by Wulfstan's influence on the law code issued by Cnut.
