Huius consortium cum primo ipse missis procis a fratre eius Aeodbaldo, qui tunc regno Cantuariorum praeerat, peteret; responsum est, non esse licitum Christianam virginem pagano in coniugem dari, ne fides et sacramenta coelestis Regis consortio profanarentur regis qui veri Dei cultus esset prorsus ignarus.
Which lady when at the first king Edwin sought for wife at the hands of her brother Eadbald, then king of Kent, by the sending of wooers, answer was given that it was not lawful for a Christian maiden to be given for wife to a paynim, lest the faith and sacraments of the King of Heaven might be profaned by the company of such a king as knew not at all the worshipping of the true God.
