Notes

1. The original "Mount Gargan" was Monte Gargano in Apulia, but the name spread and was used indiscriminately for other mountains said to have been visited by the Archangel. Presumably, the 8th-century monastery in Cornwall is intended here.
2. The Chronicle of the Princes (Brut) records these battles occurring in the same year as the hot summer, AD 720.
3. Presumably the little-known Eógan of w:Dál Riata is meant here, rather than Óengus of the true Picts, who was just beginning his reign around the time of Bede's death.
4. So called. Most sources make Óengus king at this point.
5. Given the general similarity of their Latin and Old Welsh names and the distinction between this year and the one after it, it is quite possible Man is meant instead.
