'''Frithwald''' ([Old English](/source/Old_English): ''Friþuweald''<ref name=ASCD>[http://asc.jebbo.co.uk/d/d-L.html ASC MS D] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140419043900/http://asc.jebbo.co.uk/d/d-L.html |date=19 April 2014 }}, s.a. 762.</ref> or ''Friðewald'';<ref>[http://asc.jebbo.co.uk/e/e-L.html ASC MS E] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212153114/http://asc.jebbo.co.uk/e/e-L.html |date=12 February 2009 }}, s.a. 762.</ref> d. 762 × 764) was an [Anglo-Saxon Bishop of Whithorn](/source/Anglo-Saxon_Diocese_of_Whithorn). The version of the ''[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle](/source/Anglo-Saxon_Chronicle)'' in the ''[Worcester Chronicle](/source/John_of_Worcester)'' says that in 735 he succeeded [Pehthelm](/source/Pehthelm), after the latter's death, as [Bishop of Whithorn](/source/Bishop_of_Whithorn).<ref>Anderson, ''Scottish Annals'', p. 55.</ref> The only other source for Frithwald is the entry in versions D and E of the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' which, ''sub anno'' 762, relate that:<blockquote>Frithwald, bishop at Whithorn, died on the Nones of May [May 7]. He was consecrated at [Chester](/source/Chester) on the eighteenth before the Kalends of September [August 15], in the sixth winter of Ceolwulf's kingship [734/5]; and he was bishop twenty-nine winters<ref>Anderson, ''Scottish Annals'', p. 58.</ref><br>''Friþuweald biscop æt Hwiterne forðferde on Nonas Maius, se wæs gehalgod on Ceastre on .xviii. Kalendas September þam .vi. wintra Ceolwulfes rices, 7 he wæs biscop .xxix. wintra''.<ref name=ASCD/></blockquote> If the Worcester source is correct, that would put his death in 764; the entry is also sometimes thought to cover the year 763.<ref>Anderson, ''Scottish Annals'', p. 58, & n. 1.</ref>
