Duduc (or Dudoc) was a medieval Bishop of Wells.

Life

Dudoc was a native of Lorraine^[1] or of Saxony.^[2] He was a priest for Cnut before being named Bishop of Wells^[3] by Cnut in 1033.^[4] He was consecrated 11 June 1033.^[5]

King Edward the Confessor sent Dudoc along with two abbots to Rheims in 1049 on a diplomatic mission,^[6] where he attended the Council of Reims held by Pope Leo IX.^[7]

Dudoc died on 18 January 1060.^[5] He left his estates and vestments to his church, but the will was invalidated by King Edward,^[2] partly at the request of Archbiship Stigand, who received one of the estates instead.^[8]
