At vero Aeduini cum decem et septem annis genti Anglorum simul et Brittonum gloriosissime praeesset, e quibus sex etiam ipse, ut diximus, Christi regno militavit, rebellavit adversus eum Caedualla rex Brettonum, auxilium praebente illi Penda virostrenuissimo de regio genere Merciorum, qui et ipse ex eo tempore gentis eiusdem regno annis viginti et duobus varia sorte praefuit: et conserto gravi praelio in campo qui vocatur Haethfelth, occisus est Aeduini die quarta Iduum Octobris, anno Dominicae incarnationis sexcentesimo tricesimo tertio, cum esset annorum quadraginta et octo: eiusque totus vel interemptus vel dispersus est exercitus.
But in truth when Edwin reigned most triumphantly seventeen years over the English and the Britons both, of which years for six he himself fought for the kingdom of Christ, Cadwallon king of the Britons made a rebellion against him, having aid thereunto of Penda a stout man of the kings blood of the Marchmen, who also himself from that time was head over the realm of the said nation with divers fortune two-and-twenty years; and when they had joined battle fiercely in the field which is called Heathfield, Edwin was slain the 12th day of October in the 633rd year of the Lords incarnation, when he was 48 years of age; and all his army was either destroyed or put to flight.
