Biography of Æthelric King Bernicia -572

Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 685. This year [his great grandson] King Everth (age 40) commanded Cuthbert (age 51) to be consecrated a bishop; and Archbishop Theodore (age 83), on the first day of Easter, consecrated him at York Bishop of Hexham; for Trumbert had been deprived of that see. The same year Everth was slain by the north sea, and a large army with him, on the thirteenth day before the calends of June. He continued king fifteen winters; and his brother [his great grandson] Elfrith succeeded him in the government. Everth was the son of [his grandson] Oswy. Oswy of [his son] Ethelferth, Ethelferth of Ethelric, Ethelric of [his father] Ida, Ida of [his grandfather] Eoppa. About this time Ceadwall (age 26) began to struggle for a kingdom. Ceadwall was the son of Kenbert, Kenbert of Chad (age 95), Chad of Cutha, Cutha of Ceawlin, Ceawlin of Cynric, Cynric of Cerdic. Mull, who was afterwards consigned to the flames in Kent, was the brother of Ceadwall. The same year died Lothhere, King of Kent; and John was consecrated Bishop of Hexham, where he remained till Wilferth was restored, when John was translated to York on the death of Bishop Bosa. Wilferth his priest was afterwards consecrated Bishop of York, and John retired to his monastery [Map]²¹ in the woods of Delta. This year there was in Britain a bloody rain, and milk and butter were turned to blood.
