Chap. X Of Cædwalla’s Conversion to the Faith of Christ

A. 684. In the course of the same year Cædwalla went to Rome, and received baptism and the faith of Christ; after his baptism the pope of that year gave him the surname of Peter.

A. 694. About six years afterwards, the Kentish men remembered the cause which they had against king Ina when they burnt his relation37 with fire; and they gave him thirty thousand shillings at a fixed rate of sixteen pence each.
