378.

1031 For the accuracy of these dates, cf. the notes on the events as they
occur in the narrative.

1032 The length of his pontificate is not mentioned in the narrative.

1033 This and the two following entries are not in the narrative.

1034 Ida was the first king of Bernicia, and one of the leaders of the
English invasion. He conquered the country about Bamborough, which
he is said to have founded (cf. III, 6), and settled his people
here. Deira, which was for a time a separate kingdom, was finally
united to Bernicia under the strong rule of Oswald, Ida’s great
grandson (_ib. ad fin. _), who through his mother, Acha, was
descended also from the royal house of Deira.

1035 By Scotland, as usual, Ireland is meant.

1036 Wulfhere’s death is not mentioned in the narrative.

1037 This is not in the narrative. For Osthryth cf. III, 11; IV, 21.

1038 Not in the narrative. Berctred is probably to be identified with
Berct in IV, 26 _ad init_. (Ulster Annals: “Brectrid”; Sax. Chron. :
“Briht. ”)

1039 Above it is said that he succeeded in 675, making his reign
twenty-nine years, and this agrees with the Saxon Chronicle.
Wilfrid, on his return to England in 705, found him already an
abbot. (V, 19. )

1040 Not in the narrative. Bertfrid was Osred’s chief ealdorman, and was
besieged with him in Bamborough by the usurper Eadwulf; cf. p. 342,
note 2. We find him acting as spokesman in the Council on the Nidd
(V, 19, p. 356) in demanding to have the Papal letters translated
into English.

1041 For Bede’s life, _v. _ Introduction.

1042 IV, 18, p. 257, note 3.

_ 1043 Ibid. _

_ 1044 Ibid. _, note 4, cf. V, 21.

1045 John of Beverley, IV, 23; V, 2-6.

1046 For a full account of Bede’s works, _v. _ Plummer, vol. I,
Introduction, or Dictionary of Christian Biography, _s. v. _ “Beda. ”
Besides the works mentioned in this list, the following are
certainly genuine:

The short “Epistola ad Albinum” (sent with a copy of the
Ecclesiastical History).

“Retractationes in Acta. ”

“Epistola ad Egberctum. ”

“De locis Sanctis” (to which Bede alludes in V. 17). A number of
other works, some certainly, others probably spurious, and a few
possibly genuine, have been attributed to him.

1047 An answer to questions put to him by Nothelm (_v. _ Preface, p. 2,
note 4, and Continuation, _sub_ 735).

1048 “Parabolae” = comparisons. “Parabolae Salomonis” are the first words
of the Book of Proverbs in the Vulgate.

_ 1049 I. e. _, St. Paul.

1050 Isa. , xxiv, 22.

1051 III, 3, note; cf. III, 25, p. 198.

1052 A priest of Nola in Campania. He was of Syrian extraction, but born
at Nola, and ordained priest _circ. _ 250 A. D. He was persecuted
under Decius, and again under Valerian, but escaped. His history is
told in the poems of Paulinus, Bishop of Nola (409-431).

1053 This work is not known to exist. Probably the saint is Anastasius
the Younger, Patriarch of Antioch, killed in 610 by the Jews in a
sedition on 21st December, and in the Roman martyrology honoured on
that day as a martyr (_v. _ Butler, “Lives of the Saints”).

1054 Cf. IV, 26-32.

1055 For Benedict and Ceolfrid, _v. _ IV, 18. Huaetbert belonged to the
monastery of Wearmouth and Jarrow from his earliest childhood, and
succeeded Ceolfrid as abbot in 716. He survived Bede. The latter
dedicated his commentary on the Apocalypse and the De temp. Rat. to
him under his name of Eusebius given him for his piety (_v. _ Bede’s
Hist. Abb. and Anon. , Hist. Abb. ).

1056 (Only names which have not occurred in the narrative are annotated;
references for those already mentioned will be found in the Index. )
The Continuation is by a later hand. But Mr. Plummer considers that
the entries under the years 731, 732, 733 and 734, may have been
added by Bede himself. They appear in the great Moore MS. , and those
for 733 and 734 also in another eighth century MS. The entries
enclosed in square brackets are found in a fifteenth century MS.

1057 He succeeded Wilfrid II, and two years later became Archbishop of
York (_v. infra_ under 735). It was to him that Bede addressed the
“Epist. ad Egberctum. ”

1058 Bishop of Lindsey.

1059 Bishop of Selsey.

_ 1060 I. e. _, of York.

1061 Bishop of Hexham.

1062 Bishop of Whitern.

1063 The early authorities differ as to the year, but this is the
traditional date, and is usually accepted.

1064 King of Northumbria 737-758 (_v. infra_); died in 768. He was a son
of Eata, called by Nennius, Eata “Glinmaur,” a descendant of Ida,
and was the brother of Archbishop Egbert. Under him the Northumbrian
power revived for a period.

1065 He was the kinsman and predecessor of Cuthred (_v. infra_).

1066 Archbishop of Canterbury in succession to Nothelm. The first
archbishop not buried in St. Augustine’s, _v. _ II, 3, p. 90, note.

1067 Bishop of Lindisfarne in succession to Ethelwald (V, 12, _ad fin. _,
note).

1068 Probably a son of that Eadwulf who usurped the throne of Northumbria
at Aldfrid’s death (V, 18); cf. Simeon of Durham, II, 38 (Rolls
Series), “Arwine filius Eadulfi. ”

1069 Not known.

1070 Charles Martel.

1071 Pippin the Short. Carloman resigned in 747, and became a monk.

1072 There is a letter of Boniface (_v. _ Haddan and Stubbs III, 358) to a
priest, Herefrid, who is supposed to be the man mentioned here.

1073 This seems confused and obscure. The West Saxons under Cuthred threw
off the Mercian yoke in the insurrection which culminated in the
battle of Burford (_v. _ V. 23, p. 380, note 9). Oengus or Angus (the
Brythonic form is Ungust), son of Fergus, was a Pictish king who
crushed the Dalriadic Scots, and, in alliance with Eadbert of
Northumbria, conquered the Britons of Strathclyde. But this does not
explain the strange statement which brings him into connection with
Ethelbald of Mercia. Nor is it told who Eanred was. Theudor was a
king of the Britons of Strathclyde. Kyle is a district in Ayrshire.

1074 Adopting the emendation “quinto Idus” (Hussey). The date is thus
right for the eclipses, but the year is the sixteenth of Eadbert.
Probably the numeral (XVI) has fallen out, and the passage ought to
run: “anno regni Eadbercti XVI, quinto Id. Ian. ”

1075 The great missionary bishop of Germany, a West Saxon by birth. He
crossed to the Continent _circ. _ 716, and, supported by Charles
Martel and his sons, evangelized Central Europe, became Archbishop
of Mainz, and founded sees throughout Germany. Finally he was
martyred in Frisland. Lul, a West Saxon, was his successor, not
Redger, but it has been suggested that this may be another name for
him. The pope is Stephen III.

1076 He is said by William of Malmesbury to have been the murderer of
Ethelbald. After a year of anarchy Offa succeeded, and retrieved the
position of Mercia.

1077 He was killed in an insurrection in 784. (Sax. Chron. )

1078 St. Matt. xi, 12. After Eadbert, Northumbria fell into a state of
anarchy, obscure kings contending for the throne.

1079 Cf. _supra, sub_ 750.

1080 An aetheling killed by Moll, king of Northumbria, at a place called
Edwin’s Cliff (Sax. Chron. ).

1081 Of Northumbria.

generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for
Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project

Section 4.


Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation


Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment
including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
http://www. gutenberg. org/fundraising/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the
United States. U. S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods
and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including
checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please
visit: http://www. gutenberg. org/fundraising/donate


Section 5.


General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works.


Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg™
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™
eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U. S. unless a copyright
notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance
with any particular paper edition.

Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook’s eBook
number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed
(zipped), HTML and others.

Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the
old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
new filenames and etext numbers.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:


http://www. gutenberg. org


This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how
to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email
newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
