11. Tremorinus, died about 490, and was succeeded by Dubritius of Llandaff, after which the Primacy seems to have wavered between Llandaff and Menevia. Geoff. Hist. VIII. 10.
Dubritius consecrated in 449 (Benedict of Gloster); in 490 (Geoffrey), Bishop of Llandaff, and became Metropolitan on the death of Tremorinus, as stated’ above, but his seat remained at Llandaff.
St. David, 1st Bishop of Menevia, was consecrated at Jerusalem, with two companions [282] , a.d. 519, and succeeded as Metropolitan on the death of Dubritius, but his seat remained at St. David’s.
After him came Teilo, consecrated at the same time as St. David, at Jerusalem, A.D. 519, to Llandaff. He succeeded to the Metropolitan’s office on St. David’s death, retaining Llandaff, and consecrating Ismael to St. David’s as a Suffragan Bishop.
Simon the Cananite, afterwards Bishop of Jerusalem, having preached the Gospel in Britain (“Apostolic Constitutions,” Lagarde, p. 284); as also Aristobulus, ordained by St. Paul “Bishop for Britain” (Migne, ser. Graeca, tome III.); there must have been many Bishops in Britain before King Lucius was able to supersede the Druid by the Christian organisation. “Within ten years after the arrival of Joseph of Arimathea, the first-fruit of Britain was sent to Rome, for instruction and consecration. He founded a Church in Beatenberg, Switzerland.
For Bishops in France, see Gallia Christiana.
For Bishops in Britain, see Archbishop Parker, Alford, “St. Paul in Britain,” Wakeman.
For lists given, my thanks are due to the Archbishops of Athens and York, Canon Bernard, and the Rev. Bainbridge Smith, author of “English Orders, whence obtained.”
