The See of Athelstan, in the Diocese of Cornwall, was for a while at
St. Petrock’s in Bodmin; afterwards at St. German’s.
The successors, he adds, of Athelstan, in the Diocese of Cornwall,
were these,
Conanus.
Ruydocus.
Adredus.
Britwyn.
Athelstan secundus, in 966.
Walfi.
Woronus.
Walocus.
Stidio.
Adelredus.
Burwoldus.
_Bishops of Devonshire._
Werstanus, or Adulphus, consecrated 905, died 906: his see was at
Bishop’s Tawter.
Putta, murdered by Uffa, the King’s Lieutenant.
Eadulphus, brother to Alsius, Duke of Devonshire and Cornwall, was
installed Bishop of Devonshire, at Crediton, A. D. 910.
Ethelgar was Bishop from 932 to 942.
Algarus, died in 952.
Alfwaldus, (recommended by St. Dunstan) died 972.
Alwolfus, sate nine years.
Sydemon.
Alfredus or Alfricus, Abbat of Malmesbury, died 999.
Alwalfus.
Eadnothus.
Livingus, Abbat of Tavistock, was consecrated Bishop of Crediton,
1032. He was the nephew of Burwoldus, the last Bishop of Cornwall,
upon whose decease the Bishopric of Cornwall was added to the see
of Crediton.
Leofric, the last Bishop of Crediton, obtained from St. Edward, to
transfer the see of the united Diocese to Exeter.
There is extant a very curious reason assigned by King Edward the
elder, for an endowment of these manors on Eadulphus, made Bishop of
Crediton in 910, not very flattering to the see of Cornwall.

Cornubiensem, ad exprimendos eorum errores,
Nam antea in quantum potuerunt veritati
Resistebant, et non decretis apostolicis obediebant.
