Bede hardly approved of this method. The first part of that sentence is
" A,FTER Coedwalla had possessed himself of the kingdom of the Gewissae, he also took the Isle of Wight, which till then was entirely given over to idolatry, and by cruel slaughter endeavoured to destroy all the inhabitants thereof, and to place in their stead people from his own province having bound himself by a vow.. by a vow, though he was not yet Christian, that if he captured the Island he would give a fourth part of it and of the booty to the Lord... "
Of course this is just after a chapter heading reading...
KING CAEDWALLA, HAVING SLAIN ETHELWALCH, KING OF THE WEST SAXONS, WASTED THAT PROVINCE WITH RAPINE AND SLAUGHTER.
And Venerable Bede would have some standing to say what is and isn't approved conversion method since he is a DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH

And Venerable Bede would have some standing to say what is and isn't approved conversion method since he is a DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH (now adding the end of the sentence) which is neither here nor there since Coedwalla was clearly not trying to convert the natives.

Consider yourself added. If you ever change your mind, just let me know.

Best part of this story was the coroner's inquest and the finding that the article was "treasure trove" -- brings back memories of law school and the ancient forms of action -- this one being "trover" -- the notion here is that it belongs to the finder, not the original owner.
