FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 53
Acca l in that of Hexham ;
Pechthelm 2 in that which is
called Whithorn, and which, through increase of the ranks
of the faithful, has recently been raised to the see of an
episcopate, and has him as its first bishop. 3
At this time the race of the Picts also both has a treaty
of peace with the nation of the Angles, 4 and rejoices to parti-
cipate with the universal church in catholic peace and truth.
The Scots who dwell in Britain are content with their
own territories, and plan no snares or deceits against the
nation of the Angles.
The Britons, although for the most part they oppose the
nation of the Angles with the hatred natural to them, and
less rightfully with their evil customs the appointed Easter

Ethelwald caused a sculptured stone cross to be erected and inscribed
to Cuthbert's memory ; S. of D., u.s. He died in 740. Contin. of Bede's

He wrote (with bishop Edfrid and the anchorite Bilfrid) part of the precious
volume of gospels lost in a storm at sea by the bearers of St. Cuthbert's

Cf. R. of H., D.H.E., in Raine's Hexh., i, 35, s.a. 732 :
"
But by what
pressure of necessity [Acca] was driven [from his see], or whither he went, I
have not found written. There are however some who say that at this
time he inaugurated and prepared the episcopal see in Whithorn." Cf. Bede,
H.E., Contin., i, 361, s.a. 731, which is probably the correct date. But his
expulsion is placed in 732 by S. of D., H.R., ii, 30 ; cf. W. of M., G.P., 225 ;
and in 733 by A.S.C., MSS. D, E, F ; Fl. of W., i, 53.
"
R. of H., u.s., 34 : As some think, he lived for eight years afterwards."
His death is placed in 737 by A.S.C., MSS. D, E, F.
2 Pechthelm had been a monk and deacon of Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne
; Bede, H.E., V, 18 ; i, 320. Cf. W. of M., G.P., 257. He testified
to miracles wrought, at Hsedde's tomb ; Bede, ibid. ; and is named as Bede's
authority for a vision, H.E., V, 13 ; i, 311-313.

W. of M., G.P., 257: [Pechthelm's] successors were Frithwald,
Pechtwin, Ethelbert, Baldulf. And beyond these I find no more anywhere ;
for the bishopric soon failed, since it was, as I have said," [ibid., 256 ; supra,
s.a. 565, note,] " the farthest shore of the Angles, and open to the raidings
of the Scots and Picts."
Whithorn is spoken of as being in England ; cf. supra, s.a. 547, note.
"
Cf. Fl. of W., i, 279-280 : The kings of the Northumbrians ruled over
the whole district which is beyond the river Humber. There were in this
district the archbishop of York, the bishops of Hexham, of Ripon, of Lindisfarne
and of Whithorn. . . . [Cf. W. of M., G.R., i,
"
101.]
And the archbishop of York had all the bishops beyond the Humber
subject to his control : the bishops of Ripon, of Hexham, of Lindisfarne ;
him of Candida Casa, which is now called Whithorn ;
and all the bishops of
Scotland and the Orkneys, even as the archbishop of Canterbury has the
bishops of Ireland and the Welsh." Cf. W. of M., G.R., ii, 352-353, 350.
4 Yet in his letter to Egbert of York (written in November, 734,) Bede
speaks of danger " from barbarians," " from the incursion of barbarians."
