Excerpt from Yorkshire Family Romance
Northumbria was at peace, after a long period of anarchy, bloodshed, battles, and murders. Christianity had been restored by St. Oswald, king and Martyr; York Cathedral, commenced by King Eadwine, had been completed; the great Abbey of Lindisfarne had become a centre of Christian light and civilization; and several other churches and religious houses were growing up over the length and breadth of the land. Oswy, a wise, vigorous, and warlike King, one of the most illustrious of his line, ruled Northumbria in its integrity; held northern Merica under his sway; had subjected the southern Picts and Scots to his authorituy; and was Bretwalda of the Heptarchy.
