Wulfsige III
Wulfsige III (or Wulfsin, Wulfinus, Vulsin, Ultius) was a medieval Bishop of Sherborne and is considered a saint.
Wulfsige was nominated about 993. He died on 8 January 1002.
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] was appointed abbot of Westminster, probably from before 966, when he first occurs. He was appointed to Sherborne by King Edgar the Peaceful,[citation needed] and held the abbacy along with the bishopric of Sherborne until at least 997. 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.
Wulfsige is considered a saint and Goscelin wrote a hagiography of him, which has been translated by Rosalind Love.

WULSIN (St.) Bp. (Jan. 8)
(19th cent.) One of the restorers of monastic discipline in the tenth century under St. Dunstan. From being Abbot of Thorney (Westminster) he was promoted to the Bishopric of Sherborne (later transferred to Sarum or Salisbury). He died at Sherborne, A.D. 973.
