His temporibus reges Anglorum nobilissimi, Osuiu provinciae Nordanhymbrorum, et Ecgberct Cantuariorum, habito inter se consilio, quid de statu ecclesiae Anglorum esset agendum, intellexerat enim veraciter Osuiu, quamvis educatus a Scottis, quia Romana esset catholica et apostolica ecclesia, adsumpserunt cum electione et consensu sanctae ecclesiae gentis Anglorum, virum bonum, et aptum episcopatu presbyterum nomine Vighardum, de clero Deusdedit episcopi, et hunc antistitem ordinandum Romam miserunt: quatenus accepto ipse gradu archiepiscopatus, catholicos per omnem Brittaniam ecclesiis Anglorum ordinare posset antistites.
At this time the most renowned kings of the English, Oswy of the province of Northumberland and Egbert of Kent, deliberating between themselves what was to be done concerning the condition of the Church of the English (for Oswy had now truthfully learned, though brought up of the Scots, that the Church of Rome was the catholic and apostolic Church), with the choice and consent of the holy Church of the English nation called unto them a priest named Wighard, a good man and worthy to be a bishop, one of the clergy under Deusdedit the bishop, and sent him to Rome to be ordained bishop, to the intent that he, having received the office of archbishop, might himself be able to ordain catholic bishops for the churches of the English throughout all Britain.
