Bæda's "Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum," a work of which I have spoken in my text, is the primary authority for the history of the Northumbrian overlordship which followed the Conquest.
Oñate is not given to fulness in ethnological details. His journal is a dry record of what happened during his march and occupancy of the country.
