A.D. 616. ETHELBBBT, KING OF KENT, DIES. 285, A.D. 614. Godgave was elected pope, and occupied the Roman chair for three years and twenty days, and the see was vacant one month and six days. He made a rule, that if any men or women in any way received their sons from the sacred fountain, they should be separated. And if any woman had married her godfather, they should be separated, and that the woman should receive back her dowry and might marry another husband at the expiration of a year, if she pleased.
