"The foundation of a monastery by an under-King of the Hwiccas [Osric, Nov. 6, A.D. 676,] within its walls, reveals to us the springing up of a new life in another of the cities which had been wrecked by Ceawlin's inroad, the city of Bath."—Green's "Making of England," p. 356.
Professor Earle throws some doubt on the authenticity of the record.
