His temporibus regno Nordanhymbrorum praefuit rex fortissimus et gloriae cupidissimus Aedilfrid, qui plus omnibus Anglorum primatibus gentem vastavit Brettonum; ita ut Sauli quondam regi Israeliticae gentis comparandus videretur, excepto dumtaxat hoc, quod divinae erat religionis ignarus.
About this time Ethelfrith, a man very valiant and much desirous of renown, was king of Northumberland, one that more wasted the people of the Britons than any of the princes of the English; so that it seemed he might be compared unto Saul, sometimes king of the Israelite people, save only that he was ignorant of Gods religion.
