At interfecto in pugna Eduino, suscepit pro illo regnum Deirorum, de qua prouincia ille generis
prosapiam et primordia regni habuerat, filius patrui eius Aelfrici uocabulo Osric, qui ad
praedicationem Paulini fidei erat sacramentis imbutus. Porro regnum Berniciorum (nam in has duas prouincias gens Nordanhymbrorum antiquitus diuisa erat) suscepit filius Aedilfridi, qui de illa prouincia generis et regni originem duxerat, nomine Eanfrid. Siquidem tempore toto quo regnauit Eduini, filii praefati regis Aedilfridi, qui ante illum regnauerat, cum magna nobilium iuuentute apud Scottos siue Pictos exulabant, ibi que ad doctrinam Scottorum cathecizati et baptismatis sunt gratia recreati. |
| Translation |
After Edwin had been killed in battle, the kingdom of the Deiri, the cradle of his race and the foundation of his royal power, passed to a son of his uncle Ælfric whose name was Osric; he had received the mysteries of the faith through the preaching of Paulinus. But the Northumbrian race was originally divided into two portions, and the other kingdom, that of the Bernicians, went to a son of Æthelfrith named Eanfrith, who derived from it both his lineage and his claim to the throne. During the whole of Edwin's reign, the sons of King Æthelfrith and his predecessor, together with many young nobles, were living in exile among the Irish or the Picts where they were instructed in the faith as the Irish taught it and were regenerated by the grace of baptism.
