Life
Wulfhere was consecrated in 854.[1]
In 867 the Danes attacked York, and captured it. Wulfhere made peace with the invaders and stayed in York.[2]
In 872, the Northumbrians rebelled against the Danes and their collaborators, and Wulfhere fled York.[3] Eventually he found refuge with King Burgred of Mercia.[4][5]
Wulfhere was recalled in 873, and continued in York until his death in 892 or 900.[1] After his death, the see remained vacant for eight years.[6]
