Note 900 — Chapter VIII · THE BISHOP.

Eádbald’s divorce is recorded, as we have seen, by Beda. Æðelbald’s rests on much less sure authority,—that only of Matthew Westminster, and Rudborne, Annal. Winton. Judith, after her return to France, eloped with Baldwin of Flanders, to whom she bore Matilda, William the Conqueror’s wife. See Warnkönig, Hist. Fland. i. 144.
