One account records that the quarrel between Wulfred and Coenwulf led to Wulfred being deprived of his office for six years, with no baptisms taking place during that time, but this may have been an exaggeration, with four years being the more likely term of the suspension.
Unha nova da época manifesta que o enfrontamento entre Wulfred e Coenwulf levara a Wulfred a ser privado da súa sé durante seis anos, non realizándose bautismos durante aquel tempo, mais isto pode ser unha esaxeración, sendo o máis probable que o tempo da suspensión fora de catro anos.
