Bishop of Lindsey in England, reposed around 700.
Life
Saint Aethelwine of Lindsey was the second bishop of Lindsey in England, from around 680, and reposed around 700. He is regarded as a saint and is commemorated on 3 May (in other lists on 29 June).
Little is known of him beyond a few mentions by Bede of him and of his family. His brother Æthelhun, a youth of great capacity of the English nobility, died of the plague in 664 while visiting a monastery in Ireland. Another brother, Aldwin, was abbot at Partney, and his sister Æthelhild was an abbess who around 697 visited Queen Osthryth at Bardney Abbey; she was still alive when Bede was writing in the 720s. Saint Aldwyn is sometimes identified with his brother.
