The Vita Wilfrithi can be dated reasonably securely between 709, the year of Wilfrid's death, and c. 720. [11] The latter date, c. 720, is the approximate date of the Vita Sancti Cuthberti, a text which the Vita Wilfrithi quotes, [12] and indeed imitates so often that one historian has used the word "plagiarism".

As a work of hagiography, Vita Sancti Wilfrithi is not an ideal historical source and it has been suggested that its partisan treatment of Northumbrian history inspired Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica. [12] Various details of Stephen's account of the battle are likely to have been exaggerated, overstating the extent of Ecgfrith's victory. [13]
Stephen's Vita Sancti Wilfrithi is the only documentary source on Saint Wilfrid, aside from Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. It was written shortly after Wilfrid's death in 709.

Until recently, scholarship on Theodore had focused on only the latter period since it is attested in Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English (c 731), and also in Stephen of Ripon's Vita Sancti Wilfrithi (early 700s), whereas no source directly mentions Theodore ...

“The View” hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, Joy Behar and Alyssa Farah Griffin — came together on the Nov. 6 episode of the ABC talk show to react to Donald ...
Each episode examined a different aspect of Donald Trump's personality and character, including his purported racism (focusing on his Border Wall [38] and catering to white nationalists), sexism/Misogyny, inappropriate physical attraction toward his own daughter Ivanka, self aggrandizement, love of guns, perceived lack of intelligence and even fawning over Russian President Vladimir Putin ...
