Wulstan II (or Wulfstan), Archbishop of York. The portrait of Wulfstan, the second archbishop of York of that name, is extracted from a manuscript from the 11th century. He is shown in the robes he was accustomed to wear in retirement from the duties of the church. Agreeable to this idea, we find archbishop Wulfstan depicted as seated in his study, writing in a book open before him. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages, Vienna, 1796.
