From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Bertwald of Ramsbury (otherwise Britwold of Glastonbury and sometimes Beorhtwald) was an 11th century Bishop of Ramsbury.
Bertwald became a monk at Glastonbury Abbey and was appointed Bishop of Ramsbury in 1005.[1] He is mostly known from the witness lists of King Canute's charters which show he was in high favour with the Danish monarch. He died on April 22, 1045[1] and was buried at Glastonbury.
