Being skilled in handiwork, Æthelthryth 2 made with her own hands, but the technique of gold-embroidery, an outstanding and famous piece of work, namely a stole and maniple of matching materials of gold and precious stones, and she sent this work to be offered to Cuthbert 1 as a blessing in recognition of a deep-seated affection.: Anon.LiberEliensis  I.9
Animal-tending (2)
 Cuthbert 1.vision of Aidan 1’s soul: In his earliest youth, when blessed Cuthbert 1 was watching over his lord [Anonymous 10129’s] flocks near the river that is called the Leader, he prayed in spirit to the Lord, as was his habit from infancy and continued to be for as long as he remained living among men. Moreover, it was also ever his custom to enter the coldest water in secret and at his own sole discretion. And this was the first miracle divinely granted to him, that while his companions [Anonymi 10063] were sleeping and he was watching over the flocks and praying, positioned in the shape of the cross, he saw the soul of St Aidan 1, bishop of Lindisfarne, being carried off to heaven by angels. As soon as morning had come, no longer wanting to tend the flocks, he returned [them] to his lord [Anonymous 10129] and went to the monastery called Melrose and fell with great devotion at the feet of saintly Abbot Boisil 1 and diligently described to him everything he had seen concerning the soul of the saintly bishop, and immediately, with his head crowned in the tonsure, he was made a monk, and thereafter he faithfully observed both the contemplative and active ways of living to the end of his own life.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  2

They also gave him the vill that is called Crayke and three miles in circumference around the same vill, so that he might have a stopping-place there whenever he went to or returned from York. And St Cuthbert 1 installed a congregating of monks there and ordained an abbot, and because it seemed a small territory, he added the city that is called Carlisle, which has a circumference of fifteen miles, and in the same city he placed a congregation of nuns, and ordained an abbess [Anonymous 59] and established schools.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  5

 Cuthbert 1.death and translation: Saint Cuthbert 1 died and was succeeded by bishop Ecgred 1, who transported a certain church, originally built by St Aidan 1 in the time of King Oswald 1, from the isle of Lindisfarne to Norham and there rebuilt it, and translated to that place the body of St Cuthbert 1 and [that of] King Ceolwulf 3. : Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  9

 Cuthbert 1.made bishop: During the reign of Ecgfrith 4, Archbishop Theodore 1 of York and all the people, be common counsel and with one accord, acclaimed St Cuthbert 1 to be bishop of Hexham. He, however, resisted this in every way, asserting himself to be a sinner and unworthy of the bishopric, confining himself most strictly on his island. Then King Ecgfrith 4 and Archbishop Theodore 1 and the whole people gathered in a synod decreed by common counsel that, whether he wished it or not, they would take him from the island and install him in the bishopric. And so it was done. Seized indeed by the people, he was taken to the vill which is called Alne, near the city of York. Having there accepted an oath of fealty from all, he was ordained by Archbishop Theodore 1. There were seven bishops at his ordination: Chad 1 and Cedd 1 and four (sic) other holy bishops. The same day Eata 2, bishop of Lindisfarne, and St Cuthbert 1, in common counsel with King Ecgfrith 4 and the archbishop and those seven bishops and all the magnates, exchanged their sees. Thus Eata 2 sat at Hexham and saintly Cuthbert 1, on account of his previous monastic life there, obtained the bishop's seat at Lindisfarne.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  3

Appointment/consecration/elevation/ordination of king (1)
 Guthfrith 3.elected king of York: So with Ælle 3 and his brother Osberht 6 slain, none of their kinsmen ruled – this [favour] from God having been obtained by St Cuthbert 1, against whom they had sinned much – for the Danes slew nearly all the English in the southern and the northern part [of England], demolished and despoiled the churches. Then Halfdan 2, king of the Danes, entered the Tyne and sailed as far as Wircesforda, devastating everything and sinning cruelly against St Cuthbert 1. But soon the wrath of God and of the holy confessor fell upon him. For he began to rave and to reek so badly that his whole army drove him from its midst.

At that time St Cuthbert 1 appeared in the night to the holy abbot of Carlisle named Eadred 29, firmly commanding him as follows: ‘Go’, he said, ‘over the Tyne to the army of the Danes, and tell them that it they wish to be obedient to me, they should show you a certain young man named Guthfrith 3 son of Harthacnut 2, the slave of a certain widow [Anonymous 10133]. In the early morning you and the whole army should offer the widow the price for him, and at the third hour [take him] in exchange for the price; then at the sixth hour lead him before the whole multitude so that they may elect him king, and at the ninth hour lead him with the whole army upon the hill which is called Oswigesdune and there place on his right arm a golden armlet, and thus they shall all constitute him king. Tell him also, after he has been made king, to give me [i.e. St Cuthbert's 1] all land between the Tyne and Wear and [to grant that] whoever shall flee to me, whether for homicide or for any other necessity, may have peace for thirty-seven days and nights.’ Certain of this vision and strengthened by the reasonable command of the holy confessor, that holy abbot confidently hurried to the barbarian host, by which [he was] honourably received, [and] there he faithfully carried out [everything] on the order in which he had been commanded. For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace. Then bishop Eardwulf 18 brought to that host and to that hill the body of St Cuthbert 1, over which the king himself and the whole host swore peace and fidelity as long as they might live, and this oath was faithfully observed.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  12-13

 Cuthbert 1.prophecy of the phantom fire: While Cuthbert 1 was preaching to a crowd he foresaw that the devil would be present to hinder the work of salvation. Slightly later a phantom fire set light to a house nearby.

 Cuthbert 1.retiring to hermitage: Deciding to live more strictly, Cuthbert 1 departed from Melrose and took himself to a certain remote island called Farne and for nine years enclosed himself there as if in a prison, fighting against the enemy of mankind lest his mind be averted from God. The saintly bishop Aidan 1 long dwelt on this same island in the time of King Penda 1, son of Pybba 1, whom King Oswine 1 succeeded.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  3

Tell him also, after he has been made king, to give me [i.e. St Cuthbert's 1] all land between the Tyne and Wear and [to grant that] whoever shall flee to me, whether for homicide or for any other necessity, may have peace for thirty-seven days and nights.’ Certain of this vision and strengthened by the reasonable command of the holy confessor, that holy abbot confidently hurried to the barbarian host, by which [he was] honourably received, [and] there he faithfully carried out [everything] on the order in which he had been commanded. For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace. Then bishop Eardwulf 18 brought to that host and to that hill the body of St Cuthbert 1, over which the king himself and the whole host swore peace and fidelity as long as they might live, and this oath was faithfully observed.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  12-13

They also gave him the vill that is called Crayke and three miles in circumference around the same vill, so that he might have a stopping-place there whenever he went to or returned from York.

Then King Ecgfrith 4 and Archbishop Theodore 1 and the whole people gathered in a synod decreed by common counsel that, whether he wished it or not, they would take him from the island and install him in the bishopric. And so it was done. Seized indeed by the people, he was taken to the vill which is called Alne, near the city of York.

For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace.

In the early morning you and the whole army should offer the widow the price for him, and at the third hour [take him] in exchange for the price; then at the sixth hour lead him before the whole multitude so that they may elect him king, and at the ninth hour lead him with the whole army upon the hill which is called Oswigesdune and there place on his right arm a golden armlet, and thus they shall all constitute him king. Tell him also, after he has been made king, to give me [i.e. St Cuthbert's 1] all land between the Tyne and Wear and [to grant that] whoever shall flee to me, whether for homicide or for any other necessity, may have peace for thirty-seven days and nights.’ Certain of this vision and strengthened by the reasonable command of the holy confessor, that holy abbot confidently hurried to the barbarian host, by which [he was] honourably received, [and] there he faithfully carried out [everything] on the order in which he had been commanded. For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace. Then bishop Eardwulf 18 brought to that host and to that hill the body of St Cuthbert 1, over which the king himself and the whole host swore peace and fidelity as long as they might live, and this oath was faithfully observed.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  12-13

Then Halfdan 2, king of the Danes, entered the Tyne and sailed as far as Wircesforda, devastating everything and sinning cruelly against St Cuthbert 1. But soon the wrath of God and of the holy confessor fell upon him. For he began to rave and to reek so badly that his whole army drove him from its midst.

In the early morning you and the whole army should offer the widow the price for him, and at the third hour [take him] in exchange for the price; then at the sixth hour lead him before the whole multitude so that they may elect him king, and at the ninth hour lead him with the whole army upon the hill which is called Oswigesdune and there place on his right arm a golden armlet, and thus they shall all constitute him king. Tell him also, after he has been made king, to give me [i.e. St Cuthbert's 1] all land between the Tyne and Wear and [to grant that] whoever shall flee to me, whether for homicide or for any other necessity, may have peace for thirty-seven days and nights.’ Certain of this vision and strengthened by the reasonable command of the holy confessor, that holy abbot confidently hurried to the barbarian host, by which [he was] honourably received, [and] there he faithfully carried out [everything] on the order in which he had been commanded. For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace. Then bishop Eardwulf 18 brought to that host and to that hill the body of St Cuthbert 1, over which the king himself and the whole host swore peace and fidelity as long as they might live, and this oath was faithfully observed.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  12-13

 Cuthbert 1.vision of Aidan 1’s soul: In his earliest youth, when blessed Cuthbert 1 was watching over his lord [Anonymous 10129’s] flocks near the river that is called the Leader, he prayed in spirit to the Lord, as was his habit from infancy and continued to be for as long as he remained living among men. Moreover, it was also ever his custom to enter the coldest water in secret and at his own sole discretion. And this was the first miracle divinely granted to him, that while his companions [Anonymi 10063] were sleeping and he was watching over the flocks and praying, positioned in the shape of the cross, he saw the soul of St Aidan 1, bishop of Lindisfarne, being carried off to heaven by angels. As soon as morning had come, no longer wanting to tend the flocks, he returned [them] to his lord [Anonymous 10129] and went to the monastery called Melrose and fell with great devotion at the feet of saintly Abbot Boisil 1 and diligently described to him everything he had seen concerning the soul of the saintly bishop, and immediately, with his head crowned in the tonsure, he was made a monk, and thereafter he faithfully observed both the contemplative and active ways of living to the end of his own life.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  2
Oath-swearing/fealty (2)

He, however, resisted this in every way, asserting himself to be a sinner and unworthy of the bishopric, confining himself most strictly on his island. Then King Ecgfrith 4 and Archbishop Theodore 1 and the whole people gathered in a synod decreed by common counsel that, whether he wished it or not, they would take him from the island and install him in the bishopric. And so it was done. Seized indeed by the people, he was taken to the vill which is called Alne, near the city of York. Having there accepted an oath of fealty from all, he was ordained by Archbishop Theodore 1. There were seven bishops at his ordination: Chad 1 and Cedd 1 and four (sic) other holy bishops. The same day Eata 2, bishop of Lindisfarne, and St Cuthbert 1, in common counsel with King Ecgfrith 4 and the archbishop and those seven bishops and all the magnates, exchanged their sees. Thus Eata 2 sat at Hexham and saintly Cuthbert 1, on account of his previous monastic life there, obtained the bishop's seat at Lindisfarne.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  3
 Guthfrith 3.elected king of York: So with Ælle 3 and his brother Osberht 6 slain, none of their kinsmen ruled – this [favour] from God having been obtained by St Cuthbert 1, against whom they had sinned much – for the Danes slew nearly all the English in the southern and the northern part [of England], demolished and despoiled the churches. Then Halfdan 2, king of the Danes, entered the Tyne and sailed as far as Wircesforda, devastating everything and sinning cruelly against St Cuthbert 1. But soon the wrath of God and of the holy confessor fell upon him. For he began to rave and to reek so badly that his whole army drove him from its midst.

At that time St Cuthbert 1 appeared in the night to the holy abbot of Carlisle named Eadred 29, firmly commanding him as follows: ‘Go’, he said, ‘over the Tyne to the army of the Danes, and tell them that it they wish to be obedient to me, they should show you a certain young man named Guthfrith 3 son of Harthacnut 2, the slave of a certain widow [Anonymous 10133]. In the early morning you and the whole army should offer the widow the price for him, and at the third hour [take him] in exchange for the price; then at the sixth hour lead him before the whole multitude so that they may elect him king, and at the ninth hour lead him with the whole army upon the hill which is called Oswigesdune and there place on his right arm a golden armlet, and thus they shall all constitute him king. Tell him also, after he has been made king, to give me [i.e. St Cuthbert's 1] all land between the Tyne and Wear and [to grant that] whoever shall flee to me, whether for homicide or for any other necessity, may have peace for thirty-seven days and nights.’ Certain of this vision and strengthened by the reasonable command of the holy confessor, that holy abbot confidently hurried to the barbarian host, by which [he was] honourably received, [and] there he faithfully carried out [everything] on the order in which he had been commanded. For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace. Then bishop Eardwulf 18 brought to that host and to that hill the body of St Cuthbert 1, over which the king himself and the whole host swore peace and fidelity as long as they might live, and this oath was faithfully observed.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  12-13

Peace agreement (1)
 Guthfrith 3.elected king of York: So with Ælle 3 and his brother Osberht 6 slain, none of their kinsmen ruled – this [favour] from God having been obtained by St Cuthbert 1, against whom they had sinned much – for the Danes slew nearly all the English in the southern and the northern part [of England], demolished and despoiled the churches. Then Halfdan 2, king of the Danes, entered the Tyne and sailed as far as Wircesforda, devastating everything and sinning cruelly against St Cuthbert 1. But soon the wrath of God and of the holy confessor fell upon him. For he began to rave and to reek so badly that his whole army drove him from its midst.

At that time St Cuthbert 1 appeared in the night to the holy abbot of Carlisle named Eadred 29, firmly commanding him as follows: ‘Go’, he said, ‘over the Tyne to the army of the Danes, and tell them that it they wish to be obedient to me, they should show you a certain young man named Guthfrith 3 son of Harthacnut 2, the slave of a certain widow [Anonymous 10133]. In the early morning you and the whole army should offer the widow the price for him, and at the third hour [take him] in exchange for the price; then at the sixth hour lead him before the whole multitude so that they may elect him king, and at the ninth hour lead him with the whole army upon the hill which is called Oswigesdune and there place on his right arm a golden armlet, and thus they shall all constitute him king. Tell him also, after he has been made king, to give me [i.e. St Cuthbert's 1] all land between the Tyne and Wear and [to grant that] whoever shall flee to me, whether for homicide or for any other necessity, may have peace for thirty-seven days and nights.’ Certain of this vision and strengthened by the reasonable command of the holy confessor, that holy abbot confidently hurried to the barbarian host, by which [he was] honourably received, [and] there he faithfully carried out [everything] on the order in which he had been commanded. For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace. Then bishop Eardwulf 18 brought to that host and to that hill the body of St Cuthbert 1, over which the king himself and the whole host swore peace and fidelity as long as they might live, and this oath was faithfully observed.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  12-13

Slave-selling (1)
 Guthfrith 3.elected king of York: So with Ælle 3 and his brother Osberht 6 slain, none of their kinsmen ruled – this [favour] from God having been obtained by St Cuthbert 1, against whom they had sinned much – for the Danes slew nearly all the English in the southern and the northern part [of England], demolished and despoiled the churches. Then Halfdan 2, king of the Danes, entered the Tyne and sailed as far as Wircesforda, devastating everything and sinning cruelly against St Cuthbert 1. But soon the wrath of God and of the holy confessor fell upon him. For he began to rave and to reek so badly that his whole army drove him from its midst.

At that time St Cuthbert 1 appeared in the night to the holy abbot of Carlisle named Eadred 29, firmly commanding him as follows: ‘Go’, he said, ‘over the Tyne to the army of the Danes, and tell them that it they wish to be obedient to me, they should show you a certain young man named Guthfrith 3 son of Harthacnut 2, the slave of a certain widow [Anonymous 10133]. In the early morning you and the whole army should offer the widow the price for him, and at the third hour [take him] in exchange for the price; then at the sixth hour lead him before the whole multitude so that they may elect him king, and at the ninth hour lead him with the whole army upon the hill which is called Oswigesdune and there place on his right arm a golden armlet, and thus they shall all constitute him king. Tell him also, after he has been made king, to give me [i.e. St Cuthbert's 1] all land between the Tyne and Wear and [to grant that] whoever shall flee to me, whether for homicide or for any other necessity, may have peace for thirty-seven days and nights.’ Certain of this vision and strengthened by the reasonable command of the holy confessor, that holy abbot confidently hurried to the barbarian host, by which [he was] honourably received, [and] there he faithfully carried out [everything] on the order in which he had been commanded. For he found that boy, redeemed [him], and with the great support of the whole multitude constituted him king, received the land and the peace. Then bishop Eardwulf 18 brought to that host and to that hill the body of St Cuthbert 1, over which the king himself and the whole host swore peace and fidelity as long as they might live, and this oath was faithfully observed.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  12-13

Moreover, it was also ever his custom to enter the coldest water in secret and at his own sole discretion. And this was the first miracle divinely granted to him, that while his companions [Anonymi 10063] were sleeping and he was watching over the flocks and praying, positioned in the shape of the cross, he saw the soul of St Aidan 1, bishop of Lindisfarne, being carried off to heaven by angels. As soon as morning had come, no longer wanting to tend the flocks, he returned [them] to his lord [Anonymous 10129] and went to the monastery called Melrose and fell with great devotion at the feet of saintly Abbot Boisil 1 and diligently described to him everything he had seen concerning the soul of the saintly bishop, and immediately, with his head crowned in the tonsure, he was made a monk, and thereafter he faithfully observed both the contemplative and active ways of living to the end of his own life.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto  2
