Life
Holy Martyr Ethor of Chertsey was a monk-priest at Chertsey Abbey in Surrey, England. In the year 869 (870 by other dates), when the Danes invaded England and attacked the monasteries in particular, the abbot Beocca, the monk-priest Ethor and some ninety monks were killed. The chronicler William of Malmesbury kept their memory, and they are honoured as the Martyrs of Chertsey.
Ethor is commemorated with his companions on 10 April (new style), as a saint of the undivided Church.
