Life
Saint Ethelnoth of Canterbury, called "the Good" and known for his wisdom, was born into a family descended from an earlier English king. He was a monk at Glastonbury and then, in 1020, the thirty-second Archbishop of Canterbury. He went to Rome and brought back relics of saints; he consecrated bishops who came from outside his archdiocese, which caused friction with other archbishops. He reposed in 1038.
He is honoured as a saint, though there is little evidence of a particular cult at Canterbury. He is commemorated on 30 October (new style, Western calendar).
