In the succession or names of the bi- shops of Worcester from Dene- berht to Kinewold there is a con- siderable disagreement among the historians. According to Malmesbury the series is as fol- lows: Deneberht, Heaberht, Alh- win, Henferdth, Ecelin, Wilfert, Kinewold. According to Flo- rence of Worcester the series runs thus: Deneberht, Heaberht, Alhwin, Wereferth, Wilferth, Ae- thelhun, Kinewald. According to the Codex Abendoniensis it runs, Deneberht, Alhwin, Athel- hun, Wilferth, Hereferth, Kyne- wold. '9 Ann. 822. Denebertus Wic- ciorum episcopus obiit cui Hea- berhtus successit. Flor.
