Abeunte autem Romam Caedualla, successit in regnum Ini de stirpe regia; qui cum triginta et septem annis imperium tenuisset gentis illius, et ipse relicto regno ac iuvenioribus commendato, ad limina beatorum apostolorum Gregorio pontificatum tenente profectus est, cupiens in vicinia sanctorum locorum ad tempus peregrinari in terris, quo familiarius a sanctis recipi mereretur in caelis: quod his temporibus plures de gente Anglorum, nobiles, ignobiles, laici, clerici, viri ac feminae certatim facere consuerunt.
Now as Cadwalla was taking his journey to Rome, Ini, one of the kings blood, succeeded unto the crown; who after he had reigned 37 years over that nation, himself likewise gave over his kingdom and committed the governance of it to younger men, and set out to the churches of the blessed apostles, at the time that Gregory was pope, having a desire to wander like a pilgrim upon earth for a while in the neighbourhood of the holy places, that he might deserve to be received more willingly of the saints in heaven: the which practice in these days many Englishmen, both of the nobility and commons, spiritual and temporal, men and women, were wont to use with much emulation.
