194 THE BISHOPRIC OF COE^'T?ALL. 



faithfal Bisliop BurliTvold," the Manors of Landerhtun, * (Lan- 

 drake), and Tinieltun, t (Tiniel in Landulpli) ; the former to pass 

 to S. Germans after Bur h wold's decease, ^ the latter to be at Burh- 

 •v^old's absolute disposal. || The Bishop seems to have demised 

 Tiniel to S. Germans also ; at all events, these Manors were for a 

 very long period the property of S. Germans Priory, and con- 

 tinued to be so at its dissolution, 2 March, 1539. § Burhwold's 

 signature stands thus : — 



" ^ Ego Burhwold Episcopus conclusi." 



There are also appended the signatures of Eadnod, Bishop of 

 Crediton, and of Duke Ethelwerd, — the last signature of this 

 nobleman that we have met with. 



This grant of Canute is adverted to in an Inquisition taken in 

 the 32nd year of King Edward III, (A.D. 1358), in the following 

 terms : — 



" A certain King of England, Knout by name, gave to God 

 and the Church of Saint Germans, and to those there serving God, 

 lands and tenements, in the writ of our same ancestor contained ; 

 and then the Episcopal See of Cornwall was at that place, and a 

 Bishop, by name Brithwold, and secular Canons." 1i' 



Burhwold, Buruhwold, Brithwold, Brithwald, and Burgald, are 

 varjing forms of the same Saxon name. 



Buihwold was the last separate Bishop of Cornwall. After his 

 death, which probably took place in 1042, the See was held with 

 that of Crediton, until the extinction of the united Sees and their 

 removal to Exeter in 1050, 



LYAaXG, nephew of Burhwold, succeeded him in the Bishopric.
