This paper explores the continued debate concerning the status and treatment of Anglo-Saxon saints after 1066 through the discussion of the fate of St AEthelwold of Winchester's cult. Current historiography favours Susan Ridyard's 1986 thesis that the new Norman bishops and abbots used the Anglo-Saxon saints to establish their authority, integrate themselves into their new religious houses, and guard their communities' land and possessions. She challenged the notion that the churchmen were sceptical of and mistreated Anglo-Saxon saints' cults. However, historians such as Paul Hayward, and more recently Tom License, have disputed Ridyard's thesis. This article examines the status of St AEthelwold's cult at Winchester and Abingdon after 1066, where there is clear evidence that the cult was suppressed. This paper will explore the means by which, and the potential motivations why, the abbots of Abingdon and bishop of Winchester expressed disrespectful attitudes towards St AEthelwold's cult, discussing the implications this has on current historiography.

诺曼征服英格兰后盎格鲁-撒克逊圣徒的命运：以温彻斯特的圣埃塞尔沃尔德为例

本文通过对温彻斯特邪教圣埃塞尔沃尔德命运的讨论，探讨了 1066 年后关于盎格鲁撒克逊圣徒地位和待遇的持续争论。当前的史学支持苏珊·里德亚德 (Susan Ridyard) 1986 年的论点，即新的诺曼主教和住持利用盎格鲁-撒克逊圣徒建立他们的权威，将自己融入他们的新宗教房屋，并保护他们社区的土地和财产。她质疑教士对盎格鲁撒克逊圣徒的邪教持怀疑和虐待的观念。然而，保罗·海沃德（Paul Hayward）和最近的汤姆·莱克（Tom License）等历史学家对里德亚德的论点提出异议。本文考察了 1066 年后在温彻斯特和阿宾登的圣艾瑟沃尔德邪教的状况，在那里有明确的证据表明该邪教被压制。
