This year the Northumbrians banished their king, Alred, from York at Easter-tide; and chose Ethelred, the son of Mull for their lord, who reigned four winters. This year also appeared in the heavens a red crucifix, after sunset; the Mercians and the men of Kent fought at Otford; and wonderful serpents were seen in the land of the South-Saxons.

(Ingram, p.52)
