Leofric (before 1016–1072) was a medieval Bishop of Exeter. Probably a native of Cornwall, he was educated on the continent. At the time Edward the Confessor was in exile before his succession to the English throne, Leofric joined his service and returned to England with him. After he became king, Edward rewarded Leofric with lands. Although a 12th-century source claims Leofric held the office of chancellor, modern historians agree he never did so.

  • Leofric (before 1016–1072) was a medieval Bishop of Exeter. Probably a native of Cornwall, he was educated on the continent. At the time Edward the Confessor was in exile before his succession to the English throne, Leofric joined his service and returned to England with him. After he became king, Edward rewarded Leofric with lands. Although a 12th-century source claims Leofric held the office of chancellor, modern historians agree he never did so. Edward appointed Leofric as Bishop of Cornwall and Bishop of Crediton in 1046, but because Crediton was a small town, the new bishop secured papal permission to move the episcopal seat to Exeter in 1050. At Exeter, Leofric worked to increase the income and resources of his cathedral, both in lands and in ecclesiastical vestments. He was a bibliophile, and collected many manuscripts; some of these he gave to the cathedral library, including a famous manuscript of poetry, the Exeter Book. Leofric died in 1072; although his remains were moved to the new Exeter Cathedral which was built after his death, their location is no longer known and the current tomb does not mark his resting place.

  • Leofric, parfois francisé en Léofric, est un prélat anglais mort le 10 février 1072. Il est évêque de Crediton et de Cornouailles de 1046 à 1050, puis premier évêque d'Exeter de 1050 jusqu'à sa mort. Probablement originaire des Cornouailles, Leofric suit des études en Europe continentale où il fait la connaissance du prince anglais en exil Édouard le Confesseur et devient son chapelain. Lorsque Édouard rentre en Angleterre, en 1041, Leofric l'accompagne. Devenu roi l'année suivante, Édouard récompense sa fidélité en lui offrant des terres, puis les sièges épiscopaux du Devon et de Cornouailles. En 1050, Leofric fusionne ses deux diocèses et déplace son siège épiscopal à Exeter, une ville plus grande et plus prospère que Crediton. Il effectue de nombreux dons à sa cathédrale, notamment de manuscrits. À sa mort, en 1072, la cathédrale d'Exeter bénéficie grâce à lui d'une des bibliothèques les mieux fournies de toute l'Angleterre. Plusieurs de ces manuscrits subsistent au début du XXIe siècle, le plus célèbre étant le recueil de poésie vieil-anglaise connu sous le nom de Livre d'Exeter. (fr)

  • Leofric (prima del 1016 – 10 o 11 febbraio 1072) è stato un vescovo inglese della diocesi di Exeter.Probabilmente originario della Cornovaglia, fu educato nel continente. Quando Edoardo il Confessore era in esilio, prima della sua successione al trono inglese, Leofric entrò al suo servizio e tornò in Inghilterra con lui. Dopo essere diventato re, Edoardo ricompensò Leofric con delle terre. Sebbene una fonte del XII secolo affermi che Leofric ricopriva la carica di Lord cancelliere, gli storici moderni concordano sul fatto che non lo sia mai stato. Edoardo nominò Leofric vescovo di Cornovaglia e di Crediton nel 1046, ma poiché Crediton era una piccola città, il nuovo vescovo ottenne il permesso papale di spostare la sede episcopale a Exeter nel 1050. A Exeter, Leofric lavorò per aumentare le entrate e le risorse della sua cattedrale, sia in terre che in paramenti ecclesiastici. Era un bibliofilo, e raccolse molti manoscritti; alcuni di questi li donò alla biblioteca della cattedrale, tra cui un famoso manoscritto di poesie, l'Exeter Book. Leofric morì nel 1072. Sebbene i suoi resti siano stati trasferiti nella nuova Cattedrale di Exeter, costruita dopo la sua morte, la loro posizione non è più nota e l'attuale tomba non segna il suo luogo di riposo. (it)
