Eanbald II succeeded Eanbald I as archbishop of York. He was the first York church leader to mint coins in his own name, rather than jointly with the king. The exact length of his reign is unknown, but numismatic evidence suggest it lasted until the 820s or 830s. The moneyer Æthelweard also struck coins for Eanbald II's successor, Wigmund.
