- Byrhthelm (or Beorhthelm or Birthelm; died 973) was the Bishop of Wells and briefly the archbishop of Canterbury. A monk from Glastonbury Abbey, he served as Bishop of Wells beginning in 956, then was translated to Canterbury in 959, only to be translated back to Wells in the same year. In around 957 Byrhthelm was instrumental in restoring lands around the Selsey area that had been seized by a man named Ælfsige who it is thought to have been Ælfsige, then Bishop of Winchester. In October 959, King Eadwig died and his brother Edgar was readily accepted as ruler of the Kingdom of England. One of the last acts of Eadwig had been to appoint a successor to Archbishop Oda, who died on 2 June 958. First he appointed Ælfsige of Winchester, but he perished of cold in the Alps as he journeyed to Rome for the pallium. In his place Eadwig nominated Byrhthelm. As soon as Edgar became king he reversed this act on the ground that Byrhthelm had not been able to even govern the Diocese of Wells properly. Edgar said that Byrhthelm was too gentle to maintain discipline, and was replaced with Dunstan. He returned to Wells, where he served until he died on 15 May 973.
- Birthelm (mort le 15 mai 973) est évêque de Wells de 956 à sa mort. En 959, le roi Edwy d'Angleterre le choisit pour devenir le vingt-quatrième archevêque de Cantorbéry après la mort d'Ælfsige. Après la mort d'Edwy, son fils Edgar annule cette décision, prétextant de la mauvaise gestion du diocèse de Wells par Birthelm, et il place Dustan à la tête de l'archevêché. Birthelm retourne à Wells, et reste son évêque jusqu'à sa mort.
