Wilfrid II (bishop of York)

Wilfrid II ( to † 744) was in the years 718-732 Bishop of York.

Wilfrid sparked the Saints John from Beverley in office, who resigned to retire into a monastery. Wilfrid made ​​sure that the liturgy in the cathedral of York was designed magnificently as possible, he adorned the altar of the church with silver vessels, leaving the altar and cross with silver and golden foliage provided. This should be understood as appreciation of their own diocese, with the Archbishop of Canterbury, however, during his lifetime Wilfrid still persistently refused to grant York a rise in rank to an archbishopric. This was done only under Wilfrid's successor Egbert in the year 735
