This Boniface wrote a letter to Ethelbald, who was present at the former Synod,1 admonishing him of his vicious life, & of his Nobles wantonness even with the Nuns, of which order this Boniface was a great setter up & maintainer afterward. This Ethelbald, after the departing of K. Celulph to his monkery, spoiled the country of Northumberland, and exercised mortal war a great while against Cudred of some called Cuthbert K. of West-saxons, who encountering with Ethelbald that had the greater power, by means of a certain warrior, a Consul called Edellim overthrew him. Notwithstanding the next year he renewed battle, & was slain of one Beornered after he had reigned 41. years in Mercia, where Beornered reigned after in that dition but a small time. For Offa nephew to the said Ethelbald expulsed Beornered, and succeeded king in that province of Mercia, after he had reigned 39. years.
