Werferth was consecrated either in 872 or between 869 and 872.[1] A contemporary and friend of Alfred the Great, he was a significant translator, from Latin into Old English. His translations include the Dialogues of Gregory, commissioned by Alfred.[2] He died either in 915 or between 907 and 915.[1]
