is popularly considered as the first bishop of Selsey. Upon the death of Eegfrid of Northumbria in 685 Wilfred was recalled to Hexham, and Selsey fell under the jurisdiction of the bishop of Winchester^; Daniel, who then held that see, is therefore sometimes improperly considered as the second bishop of Selsey. In reality however Eadberct, second abbot of Selsey, became by a synodal decree the first bishop of Selsey^, though Malmesbury and Florence of Worcester make him the second bishop of that see*^. EoLLA succeeded to the bishopric of Selsey on the death of Eadbert, but he did not preside there very long, and " Episcopatus usque hodie (731.) cessavit 9.'" The next name that appears in the ancient list of bishops of Selsey is
