An ‘Earthquake’ in Britain in 664
By David Woods
Peritia, Vol.19 (2005)
Abstract: There is good reason to doubt the soundness of a record in the Irish annals of an earthquake in Britain in 664. It appears that a metaphorical reference to a disturbance in the church there, namely, the contentious synod of Whitby, has been interpreted literally and misunderstood by the compiler of the record that lies behind the extant annals.
