Beorhthelm of Stafford was an eighth-century Anglo-Saxon saint and canon. According to hagiographical traditions, he was the son of a Mercian king and a student of Saint Guthlac. He is said to have established a hermitage on the island of Bethnei, a location that later became the town of Stafford. Following the death of his mentor, Beorhthelm reportedly relocated to a more hilly region near Ilam, where he eventually passed away. His life and identity are preserved through various legendary accounts and medieval records.
