 The contemporary record of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" reports Eadwig's accession and Dunstan fleeing England, but does not explain why Dunstan fled.Thus this report of a feud between Eadwig and Dunstan could either have been based on a true incident of a political quarrel for power between a young king and powerful church officials who wished to control the king and who later spread this legend to blacken his reputation, or it could be mere folklore; the "Chronicle" also tells of Oda putting aside the King's marriage on the grounds Eadwig and his wife were "too related".The account of the quarrel with Dunstan and Cynesige, bishop of Lichfield at the coronation feast is recorded in the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" and in the later chronicle of John of Worcester and was written by monks supportive of Dunstan's position.
