¶ This kingdome endured not verie long as ye may sée, for it was
vnited to that of the Westsaxons by Inas, in the 4689. of the

supputation of the church, and 232. after Ella had erected the

exact yéeres of the later princes of this realme, and therefore
I am constrained to omit them altogither, as I haue done before
in the kings of the Britons, vntill such time as I may come by
such monuments as may restore the defect.
