Æthelric also resigned within a year of the death of Earl Siward, who had been one of the bishop's main supporters.[5] His brother, Æthelwine, who had helped Æthelric to appropriate the treasure, succeeded Æthelric as bishop.[6] Æthelric retired to Peterborough Abbey, where he remained until the Norman Conquest.[8] He was arrested by the King William I of England after May 1070, and died in captivity at Westminster,[8][9][10] on 15 October 1072.[1] Notes1. ^1 2 Fryde, et al.
