For twenty-twoyears, therefore, the old heathen king waged an untiring war againstChristian Northumbria. In 633, he allied himself with Cadwalla, theChristian Welsh king of Gwynedd, or North Wales, in a war againstEadwine; an alliance which supplies one more proof that the gulf betweenWelsh and English was not so wide as it is sometimes represented to be. The Welsh and Mercian host met the Northumbrians at Heathfield (perhapsHatfield Chase) and utterly destroyed them. Eadwine himself and his so...nOsfrith were slain. Penda and Cadwalla "fared thence, and undid allNorthumbria. " The country was once more divided into Deira and Bernicia, and two heathen rulers succeeded to the northern kingdom. Paulinus, taking Æthelburh, the widow of Eadwine, went by sea to Kent, whereHonorius, whom he had himself consecrated, received him cordially, andgave him the vacant see of Rochester. There he remained till his death, and so for a time ended the Christian mission to York. Penda made thebest of his victory by annexing the Southumbrians, the Middle English, and the Lindiswaras, as well as by conquering the Severn Valley from theWest Saxons.
