3 After this, paſſing through
ye whole countrey, and entring into the confynes of Pictland, they tooke a
great part of the ſame by force of armes from Brudeus king of the Pictes, who
in vaine had ſued for ayde vnto Donwald king of Scot|land, for that his vntroth
had bin notifyed more than ynough in times paſt. But Donwald be|ing certifyed
of Edwines death, made meanes vnto Cadwallo king of the Brytaynes by hys
Ambaſſadors, that Eufred ye ſonne of Edelfred might be reſtored vnto his
fathers kingdõe, whi|che Edwin had wrongfully vſurped. This being graunted,
Eufred leauing his brethren ſtill in Scotland, came into Northumberland, wher
by authoritie of Cadwallo and Penda he was in|ueſted king of Beruitia, that is,
of the countrey, which is nowe called the Marches. For at the ſame tyme they
hadde deuided the kingdome of Northumberland into .ij. kingdomes,Eufred. appoyn|ting Eufrede (as is ſayde) to reigne ouer
the one called Beruitia, and one of Oſryke ouer the other called Deira, a man
of great wickedneſſe, as by his workes moſt playnly appeared. For certayn
yeares after his aduancement to that dignitie,Oſrycke an
infidell. he found meanes to marie one of his daughters vn|to the
foreſaid Eufred, perſuading the ſame Eu|fred to conſente with him in reſtoring
again the heatheniſh religion throughoute their whole do|minions, and vtterly
to renounce the chriſtian faith, which they had lately before receiued by ye
inſtructiõs of the .ij. biſhops Conane & Pauline. But they enioyed not
lõg in felicity after ſo wic|ked & moſt diueliſh a purpoſe: for the
Princes of Albion, vnder the leading of Caduallo king of ye Britons, and Penda
king of Mertia, with a great armie aſſembled of Saxons, Britons, and Pictes,
entring into Northumberland, and in|countring in battaile with Oſrike &
Eufred, diſ|comfited their power, & toke thẽ priſoners, who being put
into a cõmon priſon, ſlewe eche other to auoyd ſharper tortures, which by due
extentiõ they dayly looked for. Then was the kingdom of Northumberland giuen
vnto Oſwalde brother to Eufred, both in reſpect of the right whiche he had
therto, and alſo of the zeale whiche he bare to the aduancement of Chriſtes
religion, ſhewing him ſelf in conſideration therof, an earneſt enimy to his
brother Eufred, and al his partakers, in ſo much that in the day of the
battaile, he was one of the forwardeſt captaines againſt them vnto this
Oſwalde was ſente a Scottiſhman calle [...] Corman, to inſtruct the Northumberland men in the faith, & after
him Aydan, as in the engliſhe hiſtorie ye may reade more at large: Finally he
was ſlain by Pẽda king of Mertia, as in ye ſame hiſtorie appereth. His death
chanced in ye third yere of Donnewald the Scottiſh king,12.

right entierly. Neither lyued king Donne|walde anye long tyme after the deathe
of hys deare freende. For that in the fifteenth yeare of EEBO page image 147 of his reigne, being got into a boate to fiſh in the water
called Lochtay for his recreatiõ, his chãce was to be drowned, by reſon the
boate ſoonk vn|der him.

2 About the ſame time ther
liued in France .iij. brethren of greate holineſſe of life, being ſonnes vnto
Philtan king of Ireland, the which he be|got of his wyfe Galghetes, deſcended
of the ly|nage of the kings in Scotlande. The
names of which .iij. brethren were as followeth, Furſeus, Foilanus,Fo [...]lianus. and Vltanus. Furſeus profeſſing him ſelf a monke of S.
Benets order paſſed ouer in|to Fraunce, there to ſet forth & enlarge
that pro|feſſion & being receyued of king Clowys began the fundation of
a monaſterie there called Lati|nie, in the which he placed Monkes of that order
and began to ſowe in thoſe parties the ſeedes of the Goſpel, but not without
the darnell of mens traditions, as Io. Bale
ſayth in the .xiiij. centu|rie of the Brittiſh writers. His two brethren
Foillan & Vltan folowed him ouer into France, and both by worde and
example inſtructed the Frenchmẽ to imbrace the faith of Chriſt, & to
re|nounce ye religion of the Gentils: ſo yt it ſeemeth as yet, ſuch as
profeſſed themſelues to be monks, & men of religiõ (as they were
called) had not left of to labor in the Lords vineyard, ſpending their tyme in
reading the ſcriptures, to inſtruct & teach others, and to exerciſe Prayer and thankeſgi|uing: So as no
ſmall number by their wholſome doctrine and good example, were conuerted to the
chriſtian faith.
