l vii-m x

Aldhelm 3.journey to Rome: On consultations with Ine 1 and Æthelred 2, Aldhelm 3 resolved to go to Rome to win privileges from the pope Sergius 1 for his monasteries, which he founded thanks to the generosity of Leuthhere 2. During his stay in Rome, Aldhelm 3 won the pontiff's heart by his devotion and by two miracles: a chasuble he dropped having celebrated a mass hung on a sunbeam; he also cleared the pope from accusations of fathering a nun's son by making the infant proclaim miraculously that Sergius 1 was innocent. The pope granted the privileges Aldhelm 3 was asking for, writing a letter. Aldhelm 3 returned safely to England with rich gifts, particularly a marble altar. The camel carrying it collapsed under its weight, and the altar broke in two; but Aldhelm 3's prayers restored both the piece to its former entity and the animal to its strength. In England Aldhelm 3 was welcomed back by Ine 1 and Æthelred 2; the latter was given many gifts from the pope, but the altar Aldhelm 3 gave to the former. Ine 1 placed it in his town called Bruton.: WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum v.217-222
