an English prelate, was the first in the list of Glastonbury monks who were advanced to the episcopate. He died in 782. If we might allow an error of a year in this date, Canfridus could be identified with Eanfrid, bishop of Elmham, who vacated his see not later than 781. Cangitha was an early English abbess, mother of Eadburga or Bugga.
