In 866 the vikingGreat Heathen Army attacked and captured York, and the following year the "Danes" (as the English called vikings in general at the time) defeated an attempt to recapture the city, by Anglo-Saxon forces, the following year. Wulfhere made peace with the invaders and stayed in York.[2]
When, in 872, Northumbrians rebelled against the Danes and their collaborators, and Wulfhere fled York.[3] Eventually he found refuge with King Burgred of Mercia.[4][5]
Wulfhere was recalled in 873, and continued in York until his death in 892 or 900.[1] After his death, the seat remained vacant for eight years.[6]
Coinageedit
Like previous archbishops of York, Wulfhere issued styca coins; Wulfred was his moneyer.[7]
