More important than this, from the literary point of view, are the lives of Wilfrid of York by Eddius Stephanus, and of Guthlac by Felix.
The former begins in a way which may indicate either indo lence or modesty on the part of its author, who transcribes, with few alterations and without acknowledgment, the preface of the anonymous life of Cuthbert.
Many a man would have spoken much more bitterly of the opponents of his hero; and, though Eddius persistently and gallantly disguises that hero’s faults, we do not feel so much that he is a bad historian as that he is a wrongly faithful friend.

 Old Speed Air-Cooled VW Bookstore
The "Life of Wilfrid" is a partisan account, by one of his followers, of a Northumbrian bishop who somehow managed to have almost as many disputes with his friends as with his enemies.
This version had considerable internal coherence, as it illustrated the variety of literature found under the heading of "Lives of the Saints," and various roles as edifying entertainment, institutional piety, and partisan propaganda.
Somewhat more credible is Eddius' Life of Wilfrid, also fraught with miracles, but more educational in the secular lives of the saint, his ministries, the relationships between church and state, plus descriptions of three pilgrimmages to Rome, so that Wilfrid might appeal to the Pontiff to restore his monasteries, usurped by the crown.

 Synod of Whitby
This became known as The Synod of Whitby as it was held at Hilda's monastery.
Bede did not start his Ecclesistical history until 731 whereas Eddius was with Wilfrid as his choir cantor and therefore his account should be fresher and not second hand.
However the time differences are not so significant as Eddius did not write his account until many years later between 710 and 720 and often seemed to write through very rose tinted spectacles!

He was famed also for his theological learning, and for his encouragement of students by every means in his power.
It was at Acca's instigation that Eddius undertook the Life of St. Wilfrid, and above all, it was to the same kind friend and patron that Bede dedicated several of his most important works, especially those dealing with Holy Scripture.
For some unexplained reason Acca was driven from his diocese in 732.
