For the first that had lordship after this sort was Aella king of the South Saxons; the second Caelin king of the West Saxons, who was called in their own tongue Ceawlin; the third, as I have said, was Ethelbert king of the Kentishmen; the fourth was Redwald king of the East English, who also, while Ethelbert yet lived, was gaining the leadership for the same his own nation; the fifth was Edwin king of the Northumbrian nation, that is, king of those that dwell about the north part of the flood Humber, who, being a prince of greater power than all other that inhabited Britain, was head over both the English and the Britons too, except the people of Kent;
