FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 25
this same king Oswy ruled over the nation of the Mercians 1 and
also over the other peoples of the southern provinces : and
he also reduced the nation of the Picts for the most part to
the kingdom of the Angles. 2

BEDE, VITA S. CUDBERCTI, VIII, ENGL. His. Soc. ED., VOL.
II, PP. 64-66.
How when about to die Boisil foretold to Cuthbert, cured of
his sickness, what was to come.
Meanwhile, because unstable and fickle like the sea is every
condition of the world when a sudden storm arises, the aforesaid
abbot Eata with Cuthbert and the other brethren whom
be the same as Bede's Giudi, on or in the Firth of Forth. It has not been
identified. We might expect it to pass through some such form as Duniuden.
Cf. the name muir n-Giudan, for the Firth of Forth ; Book of Lecan, fo. 43,
bb. (Reeves, Culdees, 124, note.)
In 658 Mercia rebelled against Oswy's rule ; Bede, u.s. 180.

Peada, king of the Middle Angles, was accompanied by four priests on
his return after being baptized by Finan, A.D. 653. Of the four, Diuma alone
was a Scot. Bede, H.E., III, 21 ; i, 170. A.S. Vers., i, 222. (Cf. H. of H.,
96, 98 ; S. of D., H.D.E., I, 4, i, 23 Fl. of ; W., i, 21.)
Bede, H.E., III, 21; i, 170-171 :" Now when [Penda, king
of the
Mercians] was slain, and the Christian king Oswy received his . . realm, .
Diuma, one of the four priests aforesaid, became bishop of the Midland Angles
and also of the Mercians, being ordained by bishop Finan [? 656 A.D.]. For
the scarcity of priests compelled one bishop to be placed over two peoples.
And when in a short time he had won much people to the Lord, he died among
the Midland Angles, in the district called In Feppingum." He was " the
first to become bishop in the province of the Mercians, as well as of Lindsey
and the
"
Midland Angles ; Bede, H.E., III, 24 ; i, 179. A.S. Vers., i, 238.
"
Bede, H.E., III, 21 ; i, 171 : Ceollach received the bishopric in his
stead," [probably in 658,] " he too being of the race of the Scots. But not long
afterwards he returned to the island of lona, where the Scots had the head
and citadel of very many monasteries.
"
Trumhere succeeded him in the bishopric," [probably in 659 ;] "a
of the race, it is true, of the
religious man, and trained in the monastic life ;
Angles, but ordained bishop by the Scots. And this took place in the time
of king Wulfhere " [658-675]. Bede, H.E., III, 24 ; i, 179, says of Trumhere
that he was "... taught and ordained by the Scots. And he was abbot
in the monastery which is called Gilling."

Bede, H.E., II, 5; i, 189-190 :" The seventh [Bretwalda], Oswy,
brother [of Oswald], controlled his kingdom for some time with almost equal
boundaries, and for the most part subdued the nations also of the Picts and
of the Scots, which held the northern territories of Britain, and made them
tributary." A.S. Vers., i, 110.
Rhys (Celtic Brit., 140) thinks that Celts from Cornwall, Ireland and
Scotland may have assisted Penda at the battle of the Winwsed. On the
other hand, Oswy was apparently the uncle of the Pictish king Talorg mac
Anfrith ; and this fact might have influenced interregnal relations : cf .
