Annales Cambriae and Bede often differ by a year or a few years in the dates they give for the same event (there are some examples in my post on <a href="http://www.carlanayland.org/essays/dating_battle_chester.htm" rel="nofollow">Dating the Battle of Chester</a>). It's easy to see how this sort of minor discrepancy would arise when dealing with records in regnal years, or by miscopying the wrong line in a book of Easter tables, and it is probably no big deal.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-58189206108091181412013-10-24T03:01:13.043+01:002013-10-24T03:01:13.043+01:00Catching up late ...

(Which helps explain why Bede would encourage AD dating.)<br /><br />But Urien's son, no less, presiding at an English royal baptism, and/or making 'many converts', goes against the stereotype - owed largely to Bede, I'd imagine - that the native British church mostly sat on its hands about christianizing the English.<br /><br />Which I imagine is why there will be more on this in an upcoming post.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932015378213238346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-74934580548618783452013-10-20T12:39:37.971+01:002013-10-20T12:39:37.971+01:00Quite - I can recognise a few words, but not enoug...Quite - I can recognise a few words, but not enough to get very far! I was thinking that as a poet you might be able to pick up some of the rhythms of the original, and that those might be of interest to you.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-21027680276394182202013-10-19T02:35:12.221+01:002013-10-19T02:35:12.221+01:00I think the original language is a bit beyond me a...I think the original language is a bit beyond me at this point.

Can't go wrong with a poem that talks about 'Llywarch carrying Urien’s severed head'. :)Constance Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964121072645959593noreply@blogger.com
