Χ.Ό. 674.] COUNCIL OF HERTFORD. 101 Theodore, archbishop of Kent, assembles a council. In the year of grace 673, Lothaire being king of Kent, and Eascwin king of Wesscx, Theodore, archbishop of Kent, assembled a council at Hertford, at which all the bishops, and kings, and nobles of England were present.

All the bishops thereupon assented, and each of them confirmed the particulars so laid down by subscribing his hand.
