mountain。 He attained the period of one hundred and twenty years。 No one

reigned four years。 Theodoric�察�son of Ida�察�reigned seven years。 Freothwulf 

reigned six years。 In whose time the kingdom of Kent�察�by the mission of 

Gregory�察�received baptism。 Hussa reigned seven years。 Against him fought 

four kings�察�Urien�察�and Ryderthen�察�and Guallauc�察�and Morcant。 Theodoric 

fought bravely�察�together with his sons�察�against that Urien。 But at that time 

sometimes the enemy and sometimes our countrymen were defeated�察�and 

he shut them up three days and three nights in the island of Metcaut�察�and 

whilst    he   was   on   an  expedition     he  was   murdered�察     �at  the  instance   of 

Morcant�察�out of envy�察�because he possessed so much superiority over all 

the   kings   in   military   science。   Eadfered   Flesaurs   reigned   twelve   years   in 

Bernicia�察�and twelve others in Deira�察�and gave to his wife Bebba�察�the town

The     following     Easter    Edwin     himself    received     baptism�察   �and    twelve 

thousand      of  his  subjects    with   him。   If  any   one   wishes    to  know     who 

baptized them�察�it was Rum Map Urbgen��* he was engaged forty days in 

baptizing all classes of the Saxons�察�and by his preaching many believed on 

Christ。 * See Bede's Eccles。 Hist。 From the share which Paulinus had in 

the   conversion   of   the   Northumbrian   king�察  �it   has   been   inferred   that   he 

actaully     baptized    him�察   �but   Nennius      experssly    states�察  �that   the   holy 

sacrament was administered by Rhun�察�the son of Urien。 The Welsh name
