 | | Aethelnoth also, duke of the province of Somerset, delayed with a small band in a certain wood; and they built a stronghold of some sort on the isle of Athelney, which is situated in a marsh, as may be seen. |
 | | But after the issue of the engagement, the barbarians promised peace, begged a truce, did not refuse hostages, and bound themselves by an oath; their king also submitted to the rite of baptism, and King Alfred, as sponsor, received him from the laver in the marshy isle of Alney. |
 | | Duke Aethelnoth likewise purified the same king after his baptism, at a place called Wedmore, and there King Alfred loaded him with magnificent honors. |
