The Monks of the West, Vol. 4 of 6

Excerpt from The Monks of the West, Vol. 4 of 6: From St. Benedict to St. Bernard Wilfrid thus extended not only over the two primitive king doms of Bernicia and Deira, but also over three provinces inhabited by the vanquished races, the Picts of Lothian, the Britons of Cumberland, and the mingled population of Britons, Scots, and Picts in Galloway.1 His Spiritual autho rity was recognised, at least nominally, by all the Celtic races, and it cannot be doubted that he used all his efforts to root out from among them, as from among the Northumbrians, the customs of their fathers. This also was, no doubt, one of the causes of that ood of resistance and discontent which was to sweep him away in the end.
