Then, an unnamed counsellor stands up and addresses the king, also seeing the benefit of the new faith. Coifi speaks again and announces that they should destroy the idols and temples they had hitherto worshipped.

Armed with both a sword and spear, Coifi rides Edwin's horse towards the idols, all within view of the crowd gathered to witness Edwin's conversion. Upon reaching the temple, Coifi "cast a spear into it and profaned it."<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In an article titled "How Coifi Pierced Christ’s Side", <a href="/wiki/Julia_Barrow" title="Julia Barrow">Julia Barrow</a> examines Bede's Latinate text and pays particular attention to the passage concerning Coifi's attack upon the temple.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Barrow notes that Bede's use of <i>lancea</i> was "not the word medieval writers normally used for spear", while “<i>hasta</i> was the usual choice."

Furthermore, a definition of “peace” is to be understood as “freedom from robbery, rape, or violence; security to travel at will and to literally ‘go in peace.’”<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKershaw201131_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKershaw201131-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Edwin's conversion and Eorpwald's were reversed by their successors, and in the case of Northumbria the Roman Paulinus appears to have had very little impact. Indeed, by expelling British clergy from Elmet and elsewhere in Edwin's realm, Paulinus may have weakened the Church rather than strengthening it. Very few Roman clergy were present in Paulinus's time, only <a href="/wiki/James_the_Deacon" title="James the Deacon">James the Deacon</a> being known, so that the "conversion" can have been only superficial, extending little beyond the royal court. Paulinus's decision to flee Northumbria at Edwin's death, unlike his <a href="/wiki/Acolyte" title="Acolyte">acolyte</a> James who remained in Northumbria for many years afterwards until his death, suggests that the conversion was not popular, and the senior Italian cleric unloved.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="As_overlord">As overlord</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edwin_of_Northumbria&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: As overlord"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The first challenge to Edwin came soon after his marriage-alliance with Kent, concluded at <a href="/wiki/Canterbury" title="Canterbury">Canterbury</a> in the summer of 625.

Cwichelm's response was to send an assassin, as noted already. Edwin did not immediately respond to this insult, suggesting either that he felt unable to do so, or that Bede's portrayal of him as a rather indecisive ruler is accurate. Following the failed assassination, as noted, Edwin committed himself to Christianity provided only that he was victorious against Cwichelm.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>From about 627 onwards, Edwin was the most powerful king among the Anglo-Saxons, ruling Bernicia, Deira and much of eastern Mercia, the <a href="/wiki/Isle_of_Man" title="Isle of Man">Isle of Man</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Anglesey" title="Anglesey">Anglesey</a>.
