In 682, Biscop chose Eosterwine (Easterwine) to assist him at St. Peter's in Wearmouth. He lived from 650 to 686 and became the second abbot of the Wearmouth monastery. He was from a noble family in Northumbria. He died of the plague while Benedict was in Rome and Sigfrith was chosen by the monks to succeed him.
