Although Wimborne (Wimburn) has been identified with the Vindogladia of the Antonine Itinerary, the first undoubted See also:evidence of See also:settlement is the entry of the Anglo-Saxon See also:Chronicle, under the date 718, that Cuthburh, See also:sister of King See also:Ine, founded the See also:abbey here and became the first See also:abbess; the See also:house is also mentioned in a somewhat doubtful See also:epistle of St See also:Aldhelm in 705. The importance of the See also:foundation made it the See also:burial-place of King 'Ethelred in 871, and of King Sifferth in 962. 'Ethelwald seized and fortified Wimborne in his revolt in 9o1 against See also:Edward the See also:Elder. The early abbey was probably destroyed by the Danes in the reign of 'Ethelred the Unready (978-1015), for in 1043 Edward the See also:Confessor founded here a See also:college of See also:secular canons.
