Dunstan moved to Glastonbury where he placed the monastery under the rule of the Benedictine Order and became the abbot there. ^[1]

Eadwig sent Dunstan into exile. The reason for this is that Dunstan had caught Eadwig and Aelgifu together before they were married and at a time when Eadwig should have been attending an important meeting. Dunstan must have upset Eadwig at this point and was sent into exile.

Dunstan returned from exile when Eadwig's younger brother Edgar was appointed king of England north of the Thames. Eadwig was unpopular and the nobles chose Edgar as their leader. Edgar recalled Dunstan from exile and made him Bishop of Worcester and London. ^[2]

At the death of Eadwig, Edgar became King of England. He appointed Dunstan Archbishop of Canterbury. ^[3]

Dunstan became Archbishop of Canterbury.
