Anselm (or Anselm of St Saba; died 1148) was a medieval Bishop of Londonelect as well as Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds.
Life
Anselm was a nephew of Anselm of
Canterbury and a monk of Chiusi. He was also abbot of Saint Saba monastery in Rome and a papal legate to England from 1115 to
1119. In 1121 he was elected Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds Abbey.[1] He was elected to the see of London about 22 March 1136 and was enthroned at London in
1137, but his election was quashed by Pope Innocent II in 1138 and he returned to Bury St. Edmunds.[2] He died on 3 January 1148.[1] Anselm wanted to make the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, but was talked out of the trip by his monks, so he instead built a church
to St. James, which may be the first church dedicated to St.
James in England.[3]
