Page "Asser" Paragraph 37

The Annales Cambriae, a set of Welsh annals that were probably kept at St David's, records Asser's death in the year 908.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the following entry as part of the entry for 909 or 910 ( in different versions of the chronicle ): " Here Frithustan succeeded to the bishopric in Winchester, and after that Asser, who was bishop at Sherborne, departed.

" The year given by the chronicle was uncertain, because different chroniclers started the new year at different calendar dates, and Asser's date of death is generally given as 908 / 909.
