Anglia. THE .CXLVI. CHAPITER.

EThelardus the neuew of Iue / be¦gan hys reygne ouer the westsa∣xons, in the yere of grace .vii. hun∣dred and .xxiiii / & the thyrde yere of Danyell otherwyse called Chylpe∣ryche than kynge of Fraunce. Thys after some wryters is named Ethel∣dredus.

In the tyme of hys reygne, Ofric{us} as kynge reygned in Northumber∣lande / to whom holy Beda wrote the story called historia Anglicana / or more verely to hys successoure Col∣woifus. Of the whyche Beda and of hys workes Ranulphe mūke of Che¦ster sheweth a compedyous processe, in the .xxiii. chapyter of hys .v. boke called Policronycon.

The forsayd Ofricus is named in the Englyshe cronycle Osbryght / of the whyche in the sayde cronycle is rehersed a longe worke. But for I se no authour of authoryte afferme the same / I therfore in thys worke passe it ouer.

It shulde appere also by the mea∣nynge of Polycronycon, that about thys tyme dyed Etheldredus before touchyd kyng of Mercia / the which whan he had longe tyme ruled that countrey, he lastlye renouncyd the pompe of thys worlde, & was shorne a munke at Bardony.

Of y^e soresayd Ethelarde kyng of westsaxon, is lefte no memory of any actes or dedes by hym done. But as agree many wryters, he dyed whan he hadde reygned .v. yeres, wythout issue of hys body.

And in Northumberlande after y^e forenamed Ofricus, reygned Col∣wolphus / after whom Egbertus / & after whom Oswolph / and after Os¦wolphe reygned Ethelbald or Ethel¦walde. All be it that dyuers au∣thours of these names of kynges & contynuaunce of theyr reygnes so dyuersly & sundryly report & wryte.
