king of See also:Northumbria, was the son of See also:Ella of See also:Deira. On the seizure of Deira by 'Ethel-See also:frith of See also:Bernicia (probably 6o5), Edwin was expelled and is said to have taken See also:refuge with Cadfan, king of Gwynedd. After the See also:battle of See also:Chester, in which See also:IEthelfrith defeated the Welsh, Edwin fled to Rcedwald, the powerful king of See also:East Anglia, who after some wavering espoused his cause and defeated and slew IEthelfrith at the See also:river Idle in 617. Edwin thereupon succeeded to the Northumbrian See also:throne, See also:driving out the sons of IEthelfrith. There is little See also:evidence of See also:external activity on the See also:part of Edwin before 625. It is probable that the See also:conquest of the See also:Celtic See also:kingdom of Elmet, a See also:district in the neighbourhood of the See also:modern See also:Leeds, ruled over by a king named See also:Cerdic (Ceredig) is to be referred to this See also:period, and this may have led to the later See also:quarrel with Cadwallon, king of Gwynedd. Edwin seems also to have annexed See also:Lindsey to his kingdom by 625. In this See also:year he entered upon negotiations with See also:Eadbald of See also:Kent for a See also:marriage with his See also:sister 'Ethelberg. It was made a See also:condition that See also:Christianity should be tolerated in Northumbria, and accordingly See also:Paulinus was consecrated See also:bishop by Justus in 625, and was sent to Northumbria with 'Ethelberg. According to See also:Bede, Edwin was favourably disposed towards Christianity owing to a See also:vision he had seen at the See also:court of Rcedwald, and in 626 he allowed Eanfled, his daughter by IEthelberg, to be baptized. On the See also:day of the See also:birth of his daughter, the king's See also:life had been attempted by Eomer, an emissary of Cwichelm, king of Wessex. Preserved by the devotion of his See also:thegn Lilla,Edwin vowed to become a See also:Christian if victorious over his treacherous enemy. He was successful in the ensuing See also:campaign, and abstained from the See also:worship of the gods of his See also:race. A See also:letter of See also:Pope See also:Boniface helped to decide him, and after consulting his See also:friends and counsellors, of whom the See also:priest Coifi afterwards took a prominent part in destroying the See also:temple at Goodmanham, he was baptized with his See also:people and nobles at See also:York, at See also:Easter 627. In this See also:town he granted Paulinus a see, built a wooden See also:- CHURCH

It was the See also:influence of Edwin which led to the See also:conversion of Eorpwald of East Anglia. Bede notices the peaceful See also:state of See also:Britain at this See also:- TIME (0. Eng.

time, and relates that Edwin was preceded on his progresses by a See also:kind of See also:standard like that See also:borne before the See also:Roman emperors. In 633 Cadwallon of See also:North See also:Wales and See also:Penda of See also:Mercia See also:rose against Edwin and slew him at See also:Hatfield near See also:Doncaster. His kinsman Osric succeeded in Deira, and Eanfrith the son of IEthelfrith in Bernicia. Bede tells us that Edwin had subdued the islands of See also:Anglesey and See also:Man, and the Annales Cambriae See also:record that he besieged Cadwallon (perhaps in 632) in the See also:island of Glannauc (See also:Puffin Island). He was definitely recognized as overlord by all the other Anglo-Saxon See also:kings of his day except Eadbald of Kent.
