This year Ceawlin undertook the government of the West-Saxons; and Ella, on the death of Ida, that of the Northumbrians; each of whom reigned thirty winters.  Ella was the son of Iff, Iff of Usfrey, Usfrey of Wilgis, Wilgis of Westerfalcon, Westerfalcon of Seafowl, Seafowl of Sebbald, Sebbald of Sigeat, Sigeat of Swaddy, Swaddy of Seagar, Seagar of Waddy, Waddy of Woden, Woden of Frithowulf.  This year Ethelbert came to the kingdom of the Cantuarians, and held it fifty-three winters.  In his days the holy Pope Gregory sent us baptism.  That was in the two and thirtieth year of his reign.  And Columba, the mass-priest, came to the Picts, and converted them to the belief of Christ.  They are the dwellers by the northern moors.  And their king gave him the island of Hii, consisting of five hides, as they say, where Columba built a monastery.  There he was abbot two and thirty winters; and there he died, when he was sventy-seven years old. The place his successors yet have.  The Southern Picts were long before baptized by Bishop Ninnia, who was taught at Rome.  His church or manastery is at Hwiterne, hallowed in the name of St. Martin, where he resteth with many holy men.  Now, therefore, shall there be ever in Hii an abbot, and no bishop; and to him shall be subject all the bishops of the Scots; because Columba was an abbot--no bishop.<p>
