Aethelric had been consecrated by Stigand, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was removed from the Primacy by William the Conqueror to make room for Lanfranc, his own nominee. The see of Selsea was governed by three other bishops till William appointed one of his chaplains to the office. It was while he was still an occupant of the see that the transfer to Chichester was effected.
Bishops #Ordberht# and #Aelmer# were bishops after Aethelgar; and then the next prelate of importance was #Aethelric#, who was a Benedictine of Christ Church, Canterbury. He was learned in the ancient laws and customs of his country, and when a very old man acted as one of the arbitrators appointed to settle the differences which had arisen between Lanfranc and Odo, Earl of Kent.
