Bede recorded that King Eadwine of Northumbria had brought Man and Anglesey under his rule. William of Malmesbury misinterpreted this to state that `the inhabitants of the Orkneys and Mevanians (now called Anglesey, `Isles of the Angles' - incolas Orcadum et Mevaniarum, quas nunc Anglesei, id est Anglorum insulas, dicunt) feared his arms and reverenced his power ...', which Harrison misrepresented again to equate Mevania with Man. See William of Malmesbury, Gesta regum Anglorum I, ed. and trans. R.A.B. Mynors, R.M. Thomson and M. Winterbottom (Oxford, 1998), 68-9.
