Sexhelm of Lindisfarne

Sexhelm of Lindisfarne was Bishop of Lindisfarne for six months, but the year is unknown.^[1]

Sexhelm was probably the Sexhelm mentioned in Walter Scott's Marmion:

Was by the prelate Sexhelm made

A place of burial for such dead

As, having died in mortal sin,

Might not be laid the church within.
