 Archbishop Laurence of Canterbury persuaded Eadbald to accept Christianity and give up his wife . He then remarried , and his second wife , according to Kentish tradition recorded in the ' Kentish Royal Legend ' , was a woman named Ymme of Frankish royal blood , though recently it has been suggested that she may have instead been the daughter of Erchinoald , mayor of the palace in Neustria , the western part of Francia .
