the first entry in question, which is in all versions, I am pretty sure is genuine because of the way it's written, it's sort of casual and doesn't read like propaganda. The other one is harder to assess.

But it seems that whatever this Northumbrian set of annals from the 8th century was, it formed several entries for two of the MSS and also the 12th c The History of the Kings.

I should check the History of the Kings. Sounds like they just copied the entries from this annal.
