Question

When Gregory the Great learned that slaves from this kingdom were “Angles,” he punned “more like angels, if they were Christian.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this kingdom that Gregory said would be rescued “from wrath” based on its name and should “sing Alleluia” because its king was Ælla in two more bad Latin puns. Oswiu tried to seize this kingdom from Oswine.
ANSWER: Deira [or Kingdom of Deira; or Deifr; accept Oswine of Deira; prompt on Northumbria; reject “Northumberland”] (Gregory thought Deira would be rescued de ira, or “from wrath.”)
[10e] Gregory the Great’s puns are related in this author’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which he wrote at a monastery in Jarrow in Northumbria.
ANSWER: Bede [or Saint Bede; or the Venerable Bede; or Bede the Venerable]
[10m] Gregory the Great sent a missionary of this name as his “Apostle to the English.” Another saint with this name exchanged extensive correspondence with his student Quodvultdeus (“KWOAD-wult-DAY-us”), whose name means “what God wills.”
ANSWER: Augustine [accept Saint Augustine of Hippo or Aurelius Augustinus or Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis; accept Saint Augustine of Canterbury]
