Humbertus[a] was a medieval Bishop of Elmham.
Humbertus was consecrated before 824.[1] Medieval hagiographies of Edmund the Martyr say that Humbertus crowned the young Edmund at Burna on Christmas Day 856.[2]
He was martyred by the Danes. His date of death is uncertain; he may have died possibly in November 869.[1]
After Humbertus, there was an interruption with the episcopal succession through the Danish Viking invasions in the late 9th and early 10th centuries. By the mid-10th century, the sees Elmham and Dunwich had been united under Bishop Eadwulf.
