Cadwan acquires by treaty all Britain on this side of the Humber and Ethelfrid the rest. After this all the princes of the Britons met together at the city of Legecester and consented to make Cadwan their king that under his command they might pursue Ethelfrid beyond the Humber. Accordingly as soon as he was crowned they flocked together from all parts and passed the Humber of which when Ethelfrid received intelligence he entered into a confederacy with all the Saxon kings and went to meet Cadwan. At last as they were forming their troops for a battle their friends came and made peace between them on these terms that Cadwan should enjoy that part of Britain which lies on this side of the Humber and Ethelfrid that which is beyond it. As soon as they had confirmed this agreement with an oath made to their hostages there commenced such a friendship between them that they had all things common. In the meantime it happened that Ethelfrid banished his own wife and married another and bore so great a hatred to her that was banished that he would not suffer her to live in the kingdom of Northumberland. Whereupon she being with child went to king Cadwan that by his mediation she might be restored to her husband. But when Ethelfrid could by no means be brought to consent to it she continued to live with Cadwan till she was delivered of the son which she had conceived. A short time after her delivery Cadwan also had a son born to him by the queen his wife. Then were the two boys brought up together in a manner suitable to their royal birth one of which was called Cadwalla the other Edwin.

This prince therefore received them graciously and admitted them to an intimacy with him so that there was none of their age in the whole court .
