Eadmer was an English monk and the friend and biographer of St Anselm. In 1120 he was chosen Bishop of St Andrews; but as the Scottish king refused to recognize the right of the Archbishop of Canterbury to consecrate him, he returned to England and died a simple monk about 1124. Besides the life of St Anselm, Eadmer wrote biographies of St Wilfrid, St Dunstan, St Odo, and other English saints, as well as a valuable history (Historia Novorum) of events in England and the English Church from 1066 to 1122.
