Little is known of these bishops further than that their signatures are to be found attached to various charters. These were all called Bishops of the South Saxons. #Aethelgar# was Bishop of Selsea in 980. He had been a member of the monastic colony at Glastonbury, near Wells. After occupying the see for about eight years, he succeeded Dunstan as Archbishop of Canterbury.
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.
