Hræthhun (or Rethhun or Hrethhun) Bishop of Leicester, died between 839 and December 840.[1]
Hræthhun was consecrated bishop between 814 and 816.[1] He was styled Abbot of Abingdon in a charter dated 811. However, this charter was found to be a forgery,[2] and so Kelly (2000) excluded him from the list of abbots.
