At the same time, the said Pope Agatho assembling a synod at Rome, of one hundred and twenty-five bishops, against those who asserted that there was only one will and operation in our Lord and Saviour,(915) ordered Wilfrid also to be summoned, and, sitting among the bishops, to declare his own faith and the faith of the province or island whence he came; and he and his people being found orthodox in their faith, it was thought fit to record the same among the acts of that synod, which was done in in this manner: “Wilfrid, the beloved of God, bishop of the city of York, appealing to the Apostolic see, and being by that authority acquitted of every thing, whether specified against him or not, and being appointed to sit in judgement with one hundred and twenty-five other bishops in the synod, made confession of the true and catholic faith, and confirmed the same with his subscription in the name of all the northern part of Britain and Ireland, and the islands inhabited by the nations of the English and Britons, as also by the Scots and Picts.” After this, returning into Britain,(916) he converted the province of the South Saxons from their idolatrous worship to the faith of Christ.(917) He also sent ministers of the Word to the Isle of Wight;(918) and in the second year of Aldfrid, who reigned after Egfrid, was restored to his see and bishopric by that king’s invitation.(919) Nevertheless, five years after, being again accused, he was deprived of his bishopric by the same king and certain bishops.(920) Coming to Rome,(921) he was allowed to make his defence in the presence of his accusers, before a number of bishops and the Apostolic Pope John.(922) It was shown by the judgement of them all, that his accusers had in part laid false accusations to his charge; and the aforesaid Pope wrote to the kings of the English, Ethelred and Aldfrid, to cause him to be restored to his bishopric, because he had been unjustly condemned.(923)
