Eascwin was succeeded by Kentwin, who reigned ten years, being the son of Kinegils, who was the son of Ceolwulf, kc. Donus, pope of Rome. In the year of grace 677, Donus sat in the Roman chair one year, five months, and ten days, after which the see remained vacant ten months and fifteen days. At this time flourished St. Etheldrida, in the isle of Ely, In these days also appeared a comet for three months, and each day it shone in the morning with a splendour equal to the sun.
