Conpletis autem tribus annis post interfectionem Pendan regis, rebellarunt adversus regem Osuiu duces gentis Merciorum Immin, et Eafa, et Eadberct, levato in regem Vulfhere, filio eiusdem Pendan adolescente, quem occultum servaverant; et eiectis principibus regis non proprii, fines suos fortiter simul et libertatem receperunt: sicque cum suo rege liberi, Christo vero regi pro sempiterno in caelis regno servire gaudebant.
Moreover, three years after the death of king Penda the nobility of the nation of the Marchmen, Immin, Eafa, and Eadbert rebelled against king Oswy, advancing to the throne Wulfhere, son of the same Penda, a young man whom they had kept privy; and expelling the governors of Oswy, who was not their natural king, they stoutly recovered again their boundaries as well as their freedom: and so, living free under a king of their own, they served joyfully the true king Christ, to be at length partakers of the everlasting kingdom in heaven.
