His temporibus rex Osuiu cum acerbas atque intolerabiles pateretur irruptiones saepedicti regis Merciorum qui fratrem eius occiderat, ad ultimum necessitate cogente promisit se ei innumera et maiora quam credi potest ornamenta regia vel donaria in pretium pacis largiturum, dummodo ille domum rediret, et provincias regni eius usque ad internecionem vastare desineret.
In those days king Oswy, after suffering cruel invasions and grievous to be borne of the often before named king of the Marchmen, who had slain his brother, forced at the last by necessity promised that he would bestow upon him an infinite number of the royal treasures and presents exceeding belief, to purchase peace, provided only he would return home and cease to waste the provinces of Oswys kingdom even to destruction.
