All that’s going on is the the Anglo-Saxon term was replaced with the Norman French term, perhaps to “modernise”. Nothing else. Hallow and saint are just doublets English is full of because French was the language of court for so long. They mean 100% the same thing.

Much of the pre-conquest tree should probably not be taken as 100% accurate (and some parts are demonstrably incorrect), but it includes links to Danish kings, Charlemagne (not unusual for any tree that goes back that far!) and the daughter of King Alfred.
