For shortly after, when the ambassadors were returning home, he gathered a mighty army to conquer king Ethelfrith, and when Ethelfrith marched against him with an army that was much weaker (for space enough had not been given him to gather all his force together and order it into one army) Redwald slew him in the borders of the Marchland men, at the east side of the river called Idle: in which battle Regenhere, king Redwalds son, was slain: and thus Edwin, according to the oracle which he had received, not only avoided the snares of the king his deadly enemy, but also succeeded the same after his death in the honour of his kingdom.
