Chad, St ( St Ceadda) (d. 673). One of four Northumbrian brothers who were ‘famous priests’, Chad studied in Ireland and was a disciple of
Aidan. In 664 he succeeded his brother Cedd as abbot of Lastingham and was nominated to the see of Northumbria (his seat to be at York), by King
Oswiu, retaliating to his son Alchfrith's nomination of
Wilfrid. Informed by Archbishop
Theodore that his consecration (c.665), by Wine and two British bishops, was irregular, he resigned the see. He became (fifth) bishop of the Mercians, the Middle Angles, and the people of Lindsey in 670, his seat at
Lichfield. As bishop he emulated Aidan, but his scope may have been limited by the earlier work of an active British church. Chad founded a monastery, possibly at Barrow-on-Humber, on land from
Wulfhere of Mercia. One of his monks, Trumbert, taught
Bede. The 8th-cent. Gospels of St Chad were probably associated with his shrine.
