Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ithamar was the first bishop in England to be Saxon-born rather than consecrated from among Augustine's Roman missionaries. He was also the first Saxon bishop of Rochester. Ithamar was consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Honorius, and was said by Bede to be "of the Kentish nation, but not inferior to his predecessors for learning and conduct of life. Upon consecration as bishop, Ithamar took his new name from Ithamar, a son of Aaron, from the Old Testament. Although a number of new Anglo-Saxon bishops had taken new names upon either entering religious life or upon consecration as bishops, these names were usually taken from church history. The practice of taking a new name from the Old Testament was extremely rare in the Roman tradition, but did occur more often in the Celtic Church. As bishop, Ithamar consecrated Deusdedit as the first Saxon archbishop of Canterbury on 26 March 655. Ithamar died between 655 and 664, probably close to 656, at Rochester.
