This year King Edgar drove the priests of Winchester out of the old monastery, and out of the new also, and out of Ceortesige (Chertsey), and out of Middel-tun (Milton Abbey, Dorsetshire), and placed monks in their room. And he made Æthelgar Abbot of the new monastery, and Ordbryht Abbot of Chertsey, and Cyneweard of Milton. 966. This year Thored the son of Gunner ravaged Westmoreland: and the same year Oslac received the office of Alderman. 969. This year King Edgar caused all Thanet to be laid waste. 970. This year died Archbishop Oskytel. He was first consecrated to the Bishoprick of Dorchester, and was afterwards translated to the see of York, with the sanction of King Edred and all his Witan. He was Bishop 22 years, and he died at Tame on All Saints’ night, ten nights before Martinmas; and his kinsman the Abbot Thurkytel carried the Bishop’s body to Bedford, for he was Abbot there at that time. 971. This year Prince Edmund died, and he was buried at Rumsige (Rumsey). 973. This year Edgar the ruler of the English was consecrated as King with great pomp in the ancient town of Acemannes-ceaster, which the inhabitants also call Bath. There was much joy among all the sons of men on that blessed day, called the day of Pentecost. There was a multitude of priests, and a great throng of monks, wise men in my mind, gathered together. At that time ten hundred years were reckoned to have passed away since the birth of the King of glory, the Keeper of Light, excepting only, that, as writers say, twenty-seven winters were wanting thereto. So nearly was the thousandth year of our conquering Lord completed when this event took place. And the son of Edmund, the man of mighty deeds, had then been nine and twenty years in the world, and in his thirtieth year he was a King, and consecrated. And soon afterwards the King led all his fleet to Chester; and six Kings met him there, and promised faithfully that they would aid him by sea and by land. 975.
