Ruler only of North-wales, was made Gouernour of all those parts, a man deseruing well before hee came to that estate, and being risen, maintained himselfe and subiects in great honour and peace. His first af∣faires against the Saxons, was to reuenge the deaths of his Britaines, and harmelesse Monkes of Bangor, slaine (as we haue said) by wild Ethelfrid, the mighty King of Northumberland, who in Field had assembled all their powers, wherein the fatall end either of the Bri∣taines or Northumbrians must needs haue ensued, had not the quarrell beene staied by the mediation of friends. These Kings, then, and there reconciled, embraced peace, with such true friendshippe, that they continued amitie together so long as they liued.
Harding saith, that this British King Cadwan, hono∣rably receiued and worthily cherished Acca, whom this King Ethelfrid had put from his bed, for the loue he bare vnto his Concubine, but is deceiued in ma∣king her the mother of Edwin, that was his sister, and Cadwan to raigne but thirteen yeeres, whereas others allot him two and twentie.
