(Redirected from Tatwine)
'St Tatwin' (or 'Tatwine') was the tenth Archbishop of Canterbury (731-734). He was subsequently canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.
Tatwin was a Mercian by birth. He became a monk at the monastery at Breedon-on-the-Hill in the present-day County of Leicestershire.Walsh ''A New Dictionary of Saints'' p. 571
Through the influence of King Æthelbald he was appointed as Archbishop of Canterbury in 731 and was consecrated on the 10th of June that year.Powicke ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 209 Apart from his consecration of the Bishops of Lindsey and Selsey in 733 Tatwine's period as archbishop appears to have been uneventful.
He died in office in 734 on July 30. Later cannonized, his feast day is July 30.
Bede's commentary on Tatwin states: ''vir religione et Prudentia insignis, sacris quoque literis nobiliter instructus'' (a man notable for his prudence, devotion and learning). These qualities were displayed in the two surviving manuscripts of his Riddles and four of his Grammar (''Ars Grammatica'', 1868 edition by August Wilmanns). The former deal with such diverse topics as philosophy & charity, the five senses & the alphabet and a book & a pen.
