Wulfsige was nominated about 993. He died on 8 January 1002.[1] Wulfsige took part in the tenth century Benedictine monastic reform movement in England. He had been a monk of Glastonbury Abbey under Dunstan, became a monk of Westminster Abbey during Dunstan's tenure as Bishop of London,{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} was appointed abbot of Westminster, probably from before 966, when he first occurs.[2] He was appointed to Sherborne by King Edgar the Peaceful,{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} and held the abbacy along with the bishopric of Sherborne until at least 997.[2] It was as bishop of Sherborne that Wulfsige presided over the refoundation of the cathedral community as a Benedictine abbey in 998. In 1998 a one-day conference was held to celebrate the refoundation of the abbey of Sherbone, and a collection of essays, St Wulfsige and Sherborne, was published in 2005.[3] Wulfsige is considered a saint and Goscelin wrote a hagiography of him.[2] Citations1. ^Fryde, et al.
