Walcher
11th-century Bishop of Durham
- Died
- 1080
Walcher was the bishop of Durham from 1071, a Lotharingian and the first Prince-bishop.
He was the first non-Englishman to hold that see and an appointee of William the Conqueror following the Harrying of the North. He was murdered in 1080, which led William to send an army into Northumbria to harry the region again.
