Text	Vita Wilfridi (709 - 720) Stephen of Ripon
Quotation	Eodem quoque tempore Eferwine dux Theoderici regis Francorum misit nuntios suos cum litteris ad Aldgislum regem Fresis, salutans eum verbis pacificis promittensque ei sub iureiurando modium plenum solidorum aureorum dare, pretium utique sceleste, si Wilfrithum episcopum aut vivum deductum aut caput eius occisi sibi emisisset. Statimque rex, praesentibus nobis et nuntiis coram populo suo in palatio epulantibus omnibusque audientibus, legi litteras iussit;
Translation	At the same time Ebroin, duke of Theodoric, King of the Franks, sent messengers with letters to Aldgisl, King of the Frisians, saluting him with words of peace and promising under oath to give him a bushel full of gold solidi, a reward of crime indeed, if he would either send him Bishop Wilfrid taken alive or else slay him and send his head. The king at once ordered the letter to be read for all to hear (Trans. Colgrave, p. 53)
