Notes:
Offa, king of the Mercians (757 – 96), son of Thingfrith the son of Eanwulf, was first cousin to Æthelbald 4, king of the Mercians (716 – 757). Offa 7 became king of the Mercians after driving out Æthelbald 4’s short-lived successor, Beornred 1. By the end of his reign Offa 7 was the most powerful king in England and, to varying extents, exercised lordship over Sussex, Kent, Essex and East Anglia, although it is unlikely that he exercised any direct lordship over Wessex or Northumbria. His reign has come to be viewed as a period of significant military and urban development in the face of Viking depredations.

Archiepiscopal see - division (6)
Hadrian 3.dividing the see of Canterbury: Pope Hadrian 3, of blessed memory, our predecessor, diminished contrary to custom the authority of the bishop of Canterbury, and by his authority confirmed the division into two archiepiscopal sees, to that we truly reply that he did this for no other reason than because your excellent king, Offa 7, testified in his letter that it was the united wish and unanimous petition of you all, both on account of the vast size of your lands and the extension of your kingdom, and also for many more reasons and advantages. For these reasons chiefly did the lord apostolic Hadrian 3 send the dignity of the pallium to the bishop of the Mercians [Hygeberht 1].: Leo III.Ep.B288
Hadrian 3.sending pallium to the bishop of the Mercians: Pope Hadrian 3 sent the pallium to the bishop of the Mercians [Hygeberht 1]. This was done because Offa 7, testified in his letter that it was the united wish and unanimous petition of all, both on account of the vast size of their lands and the extension of the kingdom, and also for many more reasons and advantages.: Leo III.Ep.B288
Offa 7-Jænberht 1.hostility: Offa 7 king of the Mercians quarrelled with the people of Kent and tried to rob Jænberht 1 of his primacy. At the same time, in his concern to give the realm of the Mercians the distinction of an archbishopric, he communicated with Pope Hadrian 3 by letters, with which, perhaps, went bribes, and prevailed upon him, against all precedent, to mark out the bishop of Lichfield with a pallium and subordinate to him all the bishops of the Mercians (their names were Deneberht 1 of Worcester, Werenberht 1 of Leicester, Eadwulf 7 of Sidnacester, Wulfheard 5 of Hereford), together with two bishops of the East Angles, Ealhheard 1 of Elmham and Tidfrith 1 of Dunwich. The bishop of Lichfield was also called Ealdwulf 13. (Of the bishoprics some have been moved, like Elmham to Norwich, some merged with others, like Dunwich with Norwich, while some no longer exist, like Leicester and Sidnacester.) But the archbishop of Canterbury retained four bishops, London, Winchester, Rochester, and Selsey. This unsatisfactory situation prevailed throughout the tenure of Jænberht 1, though he spared no expense or trouble to press the rights of his see and stamp on the greed of the usurpers.: WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum i.7.2-4
Offa 7.dividing the see of Canterbury: Offa 7, king of the Mercians, presumed in the days of Archbishop Jænberht 1 with very great fraud to divide and cut asunder the honour and unity of the see of St Augustine our father in the city of Canterbury: S1431a (765 x 792)
Offa 7.foundation of archbishopric of Lichfield: The kingdom of Mercia was always large, and so was divided into several episcopal sees. The high spirit of King Offa 7, in particular, was responsible for this; and he set up the archbishopric in Lichfield, not because the place was important but because of the pleasantness of this central district. : WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum iv.Prologue

At the same time, in his concern to give the realm of the Mercians the distinction of an archbishopric, he communicated with Pope Hadrian 3 by letters, with which, perhaps, went bribes, and prevailed upon him, against all precedent, to mark out the bishop of Lichfield with a pallium and subordinate to him all the bishops of the Mercians (their names were Deneberht 1 of Worcester, Werenberht 1 of Leicester, Eadwulf 7 of Sidnacester, Wulfheard 5 of Hereford), together with two bishops of the East Angles, Ealhheard 1 of Elmham and Tidfrith 1 of Dunwich. The bishop of Lichfield was also called Ealdwulf 13. (Of the bishoprics some have been moved, like Elmham to Norwich, some merged with others, like Dunwich with Norwich, while some no longer exist, like Leicester and Sidnacester.)

Offa 7-Jænberht 1.hostility: Offa 7 king of the Mercians quarrelled with the people of Kent and tried to rob Jænberht 1 of his primacy. At the same time, in his concern to give the realm of the Mercians the distinction of an archbishopric, he communicated with Pope Hadrian 3 by letters, with which, perhaps, went bribes, and prevailed upon him, against all precedent, to mark out the bishop of Lichfield with a pallium and subordinate to him all the bishops of the Mercians (their names were Deneberht 1 of Worcester, Werenberht 1 of Leicester, Eadwulf 7 of Sidnacester, Wulfheard 5 of Hereford), together with two bishops of the East Angles, Ealhheard 1 of Elmham and Tidfrith 1 of Dunwich. The bishop of Lichfield was also called Ealdwulf 13. (Of the bishoprics some have been moved, like Elmham to Norwich, some merged with others, like Dunwich with Norwich, while some no longer exist, like Leicester and Sidnacester.) But the archbishop of Canterbury retained four bishops, London, Winchester, Rochester, and Selsey. This unsatisfactory situation prevailed throughout the tenure of Jænberht 1, though he spared no expense or trouble to press the rights of his see and stamp on the greed of the usurpers.: WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum i.7.2-4
