		Bede saw the fulfillment of this prophecy in the battle of Chester of c.613, in which the prayers of British monks proved ineffective against the wrath of Æthelfrith of Northumbria.
		The battle of Chester is noted by Bede (HE, ii.2) as the fulfilment of a prophecy of Augustine's that the British, if they would not convert the English, would be killed by them instead (see entry on 602).
		The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the battle under 617, but since Bede says that Edwin had ruled the Northumbrians for 17 years at the time of the Battle of Hatfield of October 12, 633 (HE, ii.20), the correct date for the battle and for Edwin's accession is presumably 616.

		The annals date the battle at 613 in the Annales Cambriae and Annals of Ulster, 614 in the Annals of Inisfallen, and to 616 in the Annals of Tigernach, the latter claiming that Æthelfrith died immediately after the battle of Chester (Chadwick 1963b:173-177).
		If the battle did occur in 616, then it is just possible that Æthelberht of Kent had just died leaving the overkingship of the southern English in doubt.
		Note that if Edwin was in Gwynedd before the battle of Chester he was likely a host at the court of Iago, Cadfan's father, although it is possible that Iago died before the battle and that Cadfan was king when Edwin left Gwynedd.
