Chap. XIV Of the Acts of King Ethelbald

A. 733. Two years after these things, king Ethelbald received under his dominion the royal vill which is called Somerton. The same year the sun was eclipsed.

A. 734. After the lapse of one year, the moon appeared as if stained with spots of blood, and by the same omen Tatwine and Bede40 departed this life.

Footnotes

40 It is doubtful whether Bede died in 734 or 735.
