It also is possible that Bede had the date of Æthelberht's death wrong; if, in fact, Æthelberht died in 618, this would be consistent with his baptism in 597, which is in accord with the tradition that Augustine converted the king within a year of his arrival.
Tamén é posible que Beda tivera unha data errada da morte de Aethelberht; se, de feito, morreu en 618, isto sería consistente cun bautismo en 597, o cal concorda coa tradición de que Agostiño converteu o rei durante o primeiro ano desde a súa chegada.
