d. regality of Hexham n. now historical an area of south-western Northumberland over which the Bishops of Hexham, Lindisfarne, and Durham, and the Archbishop of York, exercised a quasi-royal jurisdiction at various times.It is believed that in 674 Queen Æthelthryth gave the regality to St Wilfrid, Bishop of York, to endow a new bishopric at Hexham. It was administered by the diocese of Lindisfarne from the early 9th until the late 11th cent., when the Archbishopric of York assumed jurisdiction. The lordship of the regality passed to the Crown in 1545, and to the manor of Hexham in 1632, its ecclesiastical jurisdiction remaining with York. Control passed to the dioceses of Durham in 1837 and Newcastle in 1881. See Victoria County Hist.: Northumberland (1896) III. 20-64.

It was administered by the diocese of Lindisfarne from the early 9th until the late 11th cent., when the Archbishopric of York assumed jurisdiction. The lordship of the regality passed to the Crown in 1545, and to the manor of Hexham in 1632, its ecclesiastical jurisdiction remaining with York. Control passed to the dioceses of Durham in 1837 and Newcastle in 1881. See Victoria County Hist.: Northumberland (1896) III. 20-64.
