Where and when William of Roskilde was born appear to be unknown. We know that he died in 1070 at Roskilde in Denmark and was buried together with the king. (Upon the death of the king, whom he had worked hard to reform, and at Roskilde, the burial place of Danish kings, William, when he approached the kings remains, fell dead.)
He had been an English priest, chaplain to Canute, King of England and Denmark. With the king he visited Denmark and, shocked by the ignorance, superstition and idolatry of the people, he decided to stay and preach the Gospel. Later he was appointed Bishop of Roskilde.
