4 Malmes. Gest. Reg. lib. i. Speaking of Ahlhelm, Malmes- bury says : " Some say that he Mas the nephew of the King [Ina], by his brother Kenten; but I do not choose to assert for truth any thing which favours more of vague opinion than of historic credibility; especially as I can find no ancient record of it, and the chronicle clearly de- clares that Ina had no other bro- ther than InigekLwho died some few years before him. Aldhelm needs no support from fiction."
