An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Spearhafoc was an eleventh-century Anglo-Saxon artist and Benedictine monk, whose artistic talent was apparently the cause of his rapid elevation to Abbot of Abingdon in 1047–48 and Bishop-Elect of London in 1051. After his consecration as bishop was thwarted, he vanished with the gold and jewels he had been given to make into a crown for King Edward the Confessor, and was never seen again. He was also famous for a miracle which impacted his career. His name means "sparrowhawk" in Old English (Speraver in Latin).
