Dicto namque Kentegerno pluribusque successoribus suis pie religionis perseverantia ad Deum transmigratis, diverse seditiones circumquaque insurgentes, non solum Ecclesiam et ejus possessiones destruxerunt, verum etiam totam regionem vastantes, ejus habitatores exilio tradiderunt. Sic ergo omnibus bonis exterminatis, magnis temporum intervallis transactis, diverse tribus diversarum nationem ex diversis partibus affluentes, desertam regionem prefatam habitaverunt; sed dispari genere et dissimili lingua et vario more viventes, haud facile [inter] sese consentientes, gentilitatem potius quam fidei cultum tenuere. Quos infelices dampnate habitationis habitatores, more pecudum irrationabiliter degentes, dignatus est Dominus, Qui neminem vult perire, propitiatione Sua visitare; tempore enim Henrici Regis Anglie, Alexandro Scotorum rege in Scotia regnante, misit eis Deus David, predicti Regis Scotie germanum, in principem et ducem; qui eorum impudica et scelerosa contagia corrigeret, et animi nobilitate et inflexibili severitate contumeliosam eorum contumatiam refrenaret.—Haddan and Stubbs, _Councils_, vol. ii. part i. p. 17. Footnote 15: This chronicle was printed from the Book of Aberpergwm in the _Myvyrian Archæology_, vol. ii., and reprinted, with a translation, in the _Archæologia Cambrensis_, vol. ix., Third Series, but its authority is very doubtful. Footnote 16: When Kentigern was preaching to the pagan people at Hoddam, in Dumfriesshire, the chief point of his sermon was to show them that their god Woden had been a mere man.—See Paper on Early Frisian Settlements, _Proceedings Ant. Scot._, vol. iv. p. 169. Footnote 17: Fourth Report of Hist. MSS. Com., App. p. 493. Footnote 18: _Chart. Scon_, p. 24. Footnote 19: Fordun, _Chron._ (Annals, IV.) ed. 1872, vol. ii. p. 251. Footnote 20: The names Dubhgall and Finngall must not be confounded, as is usually done, with the Christian names Dubhgal and Fingal, which belong to a large class of names ending with the syllable _gal_, signifying _valour_. Footnote 21: There is no foundation for the usual statement that the Sudreys meant merely the islands south of the Point of Ardnamurchan, which is contradicted by the language of the Sagas. Footnote 22: This is Munch’s opinion. See his _Chronicle of Man_, preface, p. xviii. Footnote 23: _Annals of the Four Masters_, vol. i. p. 634.
