Sed illo post modicum temporis ex quo eam accepit, defuncto, data est regi praefato: cuius consortio cum duodecim annis uteretur, perpetua tamen mansit virginitatis integritate gloriosa: sicut mihimet sciscitanti, cum hoc an ita esset quibusdam venisset in dubium, beatae memoriae Vilfrid episcopus referebat, dicens se testem integritatis eius esse certissimum: adeo ut Ecgfridus promiserit se ei terras ac pecunias multas esse donaturum, si reginae posset persuadere eius uti connubio, quia sciebat illam nullum virorum plus illo diligere.
But Tondbert dying a little after he took her to wife, she was given to the foresaid king: with whom she lived twelve years and yet remained always a pure and glorious virgin: even as bishop Wilfrid of blessed memory did shew me, when I enquired of the matter, seeing that certain had come to doubt whether this was so, and he said that he could be a very sure witness of her virginity, for so much as king Egfrid promised to give him lands and much money if he could persuade the queen to use his company, because he knew that she loved no man in the world more than him.
