Excerpt from Polychronicon Ranulphi Higden Monachi Cestrensis, Vol. 6: Together With the English Translations of John Trevisa and of an Unknown Writer of the Fifteenth Century

Returning to the affairs of Britain, mention is made of the death of Edbald king of Kent, who was succeeded by his son Ercombert. His ecclesiastical regulations are spoken of with praise, and so is his total destruction of idols. In the account of his daughter Erkengoda, and her maternal aunt Ethelburga, instances are given of the fondness of English princes at this period for attach ing themselves to continental monasteries, and in some cases inaugurating new foundations. Brie, Chelles, and Andeli A are mentioned as favourite places for such retire ment.
