Leofgar of Hereford
Leofgar (or Leovegard; died 1056) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford.
Leofgar was consecrated in March 1056.〔 He had previously been the chaplain to Harold Godwineson,〔Walker ''Harold'' p. 70〕 and it was probably Harold who persuaded King Edward the Confessor to appoint him to the bishopric. The appointment was disapproved of by the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'', mainly for the warlike character of Leofgar. However, because of the Welsh raids, and the damage the diocese had taken in the previous year, it was felt that a more martial man was needed to help protect the area.〔Walker ''Harold'' pp. 80–81〕 Significantly, while a bishop he retained his mustache, a symbol of a warrior.〔Walker ''Harold'' p. 120〕
Leofgar was killed by Gruffydd ap Llywelyn〔Walker ''Harold'' p. 68〕 on 16 June 1056〔Fryde, et al. ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 217〕 at Glasbury-on-Wye during a battle with the Welsh.〔 Along with Leofgar, a large number of English were killed, which set back the English efforts to pacify the Welsh frontier.〔Barlow ''Edward the Confessor'' pp. 207–208〕〔Mason ''House of Godwine'' pp. 90–91〕 After Leofgar's death, the diocese of Hereford was administered by Ealdred, who was Bishop of Worcester, until Walter of Lorraine was elected in 1060.〔Mason ''House of Godwine'' pp. 96〕
