Abbot of Abingdon
The following list of Anglo-Saxon Abbots of Abingdon is taken from Kelly (2000). She regards the traditional first six abbots as fictional: "There is good reason to think that in most cases their names were simply plucked from early charters available in the abbey's archive, the majority of which would seem to have had no connection with an early minister at Abingdon; there is no very convincing evidence that the historians had access to independent, reliable sources of information.
