This paper builds upon recent scholarship, exploring how Wearmouth-Jarrow, founded as a ‘family monastery’ in the mainstream of early medieval Northumbrian monasticism, reformed itself to become the proto-Benedictine bastion of correct behaviour described in Bede's Lives of the Abbots and the anonymous Life of Ceolfrith. The understudied abbots Hwaetberht and Sicgfrith appear to be at the heart of this process. Their careers and actions suggest the existence of a party at Wearmouth-Jarrow opposed to the dominance of the founder's kin group and wishing to reform the monastery on Benedictine lines. This party triumphed only in 716, when Hwaetberht became abbot.

Hwaetberht，Sicgfrith与Wearmouth和Jarrow的改革

本文以最近的研究成果为基础，探索在早期诺森伯兰修道院的主流中作为“家庭修道院”建立的Wearmouth-Jarrow如何自我改造，使其成为《贝德的住持住所及他的住所》中描述的正确行为的本笃会堡垒。 Ceolfrith的匿名生活。未被充分利用的住持者Hwaetberht和Sicgfrith似乎是这一过程的核心。他们的职业生涯和行动表明，在Wearmouth-Jarrow有一个政党，反对创始人的家族成员的统治，并希望在本笃会路线上对修道院进行改革。该党只有在716年Hwaetberht成为方丈时才获胜。
