This year was the innocent Abbot Egbert slain, before midsummer, on the sixteenth day before the calends of July. The same day was the feast of St. Ciricius the martyr, with his companions. And within three nights sent Ethelfeda an army into Wales, and stormed Brecknock; and there took the king's wife, with some four and thirty others.
