King .Ethelstan when still quite a boy

Here he soon excited the dislike of his See also:young companions, who procured his banishment from the See also:court

He now took See also:refuge with his kinsman See also:Alphege, See also:bishop of See also:Winchester, whose per-suasion, seconded by a serious illness, induced him to become a See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger.

His successor See also:Edred showed him greater favour still

On the See also:accession of Edwig, however, in 955, See also:Dunstan's fortunes underwent a temporary See also:eclipse

Having offended the influential lElfgifu, he was outlawed and compelled to flee to See also:Flanders
.
But in 957 the Mercians and Northumbrians revolted and See also:chose See also:Edgar as their king
.
The new king at once recalled Dunstan, who was made a bishop
.
At first apparently he was without a see; but that of See also:Worcester falling vacant, he was appointed to fill it
.
In 959 he received the bishopric of See also:London as well
.
In the same See also:year Edwig died and Edgar became See also:sole king, Dunstan shared his See also:triumph, and was appointed archbishop of See also:Canterbury
.
On Edgar's See also:death in 975 the See also:arch-bishop's See also:influence secured the See also:crown for his See also:elder son See also:Edward
.
But with the accession of "'See also:Ethelred in 979 Dunstan's public career came to an end
.
He retired to Canterbury, and died on the 19th of May 988

Dunstan is of more importance as a See also:lay than as an ecclesiastical statesman
