Capitolo 50
convent where you/he/she had been taken me, and it sent again me to mine really.
I founded however almost, here as many enemies as me the
first days of which I have already spoken, for the degradation and
the shamelessness of their way of living made them understand that them
you/he/she should bear again my censorship.
After some months had passed, opportunity gave them an opportunity from
what they tried to destroy me. That one day happened, in the
course of my reading, I came on a certain passage of Bede in his,

they insisted, it had from his/her writings removed every possible doubt on
the subject, and you/he/she had surely established the truth of the
traditional belief.

two, Bede or Hilduin I considered the best authority on this
point. I responded that the authority of Bede whose writings are
held in tall respect from the Latin and whole Church, it appeared to me the
better. Then in a great their anger they started to shout that to
hard I had it openly tried the hate I had felt forever our
convent, and that I was looking for to the dishonor it in the eyes of the
whole kingdom, stealing him/it of the honour in which it had
