Tatberht of Ripon

Venerable Tatberht of Ripon was an Anglo-⁠Saxon abbot of the eighth century, a contemporary of Bede. He was the second abbot of the monastery at Ripon, appointed in keeping with the will of Saint Wilfrid, its founder, who had argued the Roman position at the Synod of Whitby. A relative of Wilfrid, with whom he worked closely, he was named in Wilfrid's will as joint heir with Saint Acca, the patron of Bede. Tatberht and Acca commissioned Stephen of Ripon to write the life of Wilfrid.

He is known from the writings of Bede, the Secgan Hagiography, Stephen of Ripon, Hugh Candidus and Byrhtferth. According to Hugh Candidus and Byrhtferth he is buried at Ripon, together with Saints Wilfrid, Alberht, Botwine, Sicgred and Wildegel; there is evidence, however, that his relics were moved to Peterborough Abbey. He is commemorated on 5 June (new style, Western calendar). He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated at Ripon and Peterborough.
