Wilfrid (II) or Wilfrith (II) (died on 29 April in either 745 or 746) also known as Wilfrid the Younger was the last Bishop of York as the see was converted to an archbishopric during the time of his successor. In the 10th century two different groups claim to have taken the relics of an earlier Wilfrid from Ripon; most likely one party took those of Wilfrid the Younger. Although considered a saint the younger Wilfrid’s feast does not seem to have had a widespread or popular veneration.
