Wulfstan
(redirected from Wulstan)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Wulfstan (died 1023)

Anglo-Saxon church leader and writer. He was bishop of London 996–1002, archbishop of York from 1002, and at the same time bishop of Worcester 1003–16. His literary reputation rests upon a series of sermons or moral writings, such as Sermo Lupi ad Anglos/Address to the English composed 1014.

Wulfstan's aim was to chastise and move people to repentance. He confronted his audience with all the vehemence of an Old Testament prophet, and represented contemporary Danish aggression under Canute as just punishment for the sins of the English.
