CHAPTER IV HISTORY OF THE SEE The earlier history of the see of Durham has already been referred to inorder to lead up to the founding of the cathedral. We have seen how thebishop and monks of Lindisfarne fled and wandered with the relics oftheir beloved S. Cuthbert, eventually settling at Chester-le-Street, until, in the ye...ar 990, Bishop Aldhun, in terror of the Danes, againfled southward to Ripon. The country at this time was ruled by that weakmonarch, Ethelred the Unready, and the Danes, finding no determinedopposition, continually made piratical incursions, and eventually, through the treachery of three chieftains, the Castle of Bamburgh fellinto their hands. After an interval of three or four months peace wasmade with the invaders, and Aldhun and his monks ventured to returntowards Chester-le-Street. It was during this journey, at a place calledWredelau, that the car carrying the saint stuck fast, and the incidentspreviously related occurred, which led to the founding of the Bishopricof Durham.
