Erat autem rex gentis ipsius Aedilvalch, non multo ante baptizatus in provincia Merciorum praesente ac suggerente rege Vulfhere, a quo etiam egressus de fonte, loco filii susceptus est: in cuius signum adoptionis, duas illi provincias donavit, Vectam videlicet insulam, et Meanuarorum provinciam in gente Occidentalium Saxonum.
Now the king of the same people was Ethelwalch, who was baptized not long before in the province of the Marchmen, in the presence and at the exhortation of king Wulfhere, by whom also he was raised up for son on stepping out of the font: and in sign of that adoption Wulfhere gave him two provinces, that is to say, the Isle of Wight and the province of the Meanwaras among the people of the West Saxons.
