Anon
King
Arthur
,
dressed
in
armour
shining
with
gold
and
jewels
,
and
wearing
on
his
head
a
helmet
with
a
golden
dragon
,
took
a
shield
painted
with
the
likeness
of
the
blessed
Mary
.
Then
girding
on
Excalibur
and
taking
in
his
right
hand
his
great
lance
Ron
,
he
placed
his
men
in
order
and
led
them
out
against
the
enemy
,
who
stood
for
battle
on
the
slope
of
Badon
Hill
,
ranged
in
the
form
of
a
wedge
,
as
their
custom
was
.
And
they
,
resisting
all
the
onslaughts
of
King
Arthur
and
his
host
,
made
that
day
a
stout
defence
,
and
at
night
lay
down
upon
the
hill
.
192
But
on
the
next
day
Arthur
led
his
army
once
again
to
the
attack
,
and
with
wounds
and
slaughter
such
as
no
man
had
ever
seen
before
,
he
drove
the
heathen
step
by
step
before
him
,
backwards
and
upwards
,
till
he
stood
with
all
his
noblest
knights
upon
the
summit
of
the
hill
.
193
And
then
men
saw
him
,
red
as
the
rising
sun
from
spur
to
plume
,
lift
up
his
sword
,
and
,
kneeling
,
kiss
the
cross
of
it
;
and
after
,
rising
to
his
feet
,
set
might
and
main
with
all
his
fellowship
upon
the
foe
,
till
,
as
a
troop
of
lions
roaring
for
their
prey
,
they
drove
them
like
a
scattered
herd
along
the
plains
,
and
cut
them
down
till
they
could
cut
no
more
for
weariness
.

That
day
King
Arthur
by
himself
alone
slew
with
his
word
Excalibur
four
hundred
and
seventy
heathens
.
Colgrin
also
,
and
his
brother
Baldulph
,
were
slain
.
195
Then
the
king
bade
Cador
,
Duke
of
Cornwall
,
follow
Cheldric
,
the
chief
leader
,
and
the
remnant
of
his
hosts
,
unto
the
uttermost
.
He
,
therefore
,
when
he
had
first
seized
their
fleet
,
and
filled
it
with
chosen
men
,
to
beat
them
back
when
they
should
fly
to
it
at
last
,
chased
them
and
slew
them
without
mercy
so
long
as
he
could
overtake
them
.
And
though
they
crept
with
trembling
hearts
for
shelter
to
the
coverts
of
the
woods
and
dens
of
mountains
,
yet
even
so
they
found
no
safety
,
for
Cador
slew
them
,
even
one
by
one
.
Last
of
all
he
caught
and
slew
Cheldric
himself
,
and
slaughtering
a
great
multitude
took
hostages
for
the
surrender
of
the
rest
.
196
Meanwhile
,
King
Arthur
turned
from
Badon
Hill
,
and
freed
his
nephew
Hoel
from
the
Scots
and
Picts
,
who
besieged
him
in
Alclud
.
And
when
he
had
defeated
them
in
three
sore
battles
,
he
drove
them
before
him
to
a
lake
,
which
was
one
of
the
most
wondrous
lakes
in
all
the
world
,
for
it
was
fed
by
sixty
rivers
,
and
had
sixty
islands
,
and
sixty
rocks
,
and
on
every
island
sixty
eagles
nests
.
197
But
King
Arthur
with
a
great
fleet
sailed
round
the
rivers
and
besieged
them
in
the
lake
for
fifteen
days
,
so
that
many
thousands
died
of
hunger
.

Anon
the
King
of
Ireland
came
with
an
army
to
relieve
them
;
but
Arthur
,
turning
on
him
fiercely
,
routed
him
,
and
compelled
him
to
retreat
in
terror
to
his
land
.
Then
he
pursued
his
purpose
,
which
was
no
less
to
destroy
the
race
of
Picts
and
Scots
,
who
,
beyond
memory
,
had
been
a
ceaseless
torment
to
the
Britons
by
their
barbarous
malice
.
199
So
bitterly
,
therefore
,
did
he
treat
them
,
giving
quarter
to
none
,
that
at
length
the
bishops
of
that
miserable
country
with
the
clergy
met
together
,
and
,
bearing
all
the
holy
relics
,
came
barefooted
to
the
king
to
pray
his
mercy
for
their
people
.
As
soon
as
they
were
led
before
him
they
fell
down
upon
their
knees
,
and
piteously
besought
him
to
spare
the
few
survivors
of
their
countrymen
,
and
grant
them
any
corner
of
the
land
where
they
might
live
in
peace
.
When
he
thus
heard
them
,
and
knew
that
he
had
now
fully
punished
them
,
he
consented
to
their
prayer
,
and
withdrew
his
hosts
from
any
further
slaughter
.
200
Then
turned
he
back
to
his
own
realm
,
and
came
to
York
for
Christmas
,
and
there
with
high
solemnity
observed
that
holy
tide
;
and
being
passing
grieved
to
see
the
ruin
of
the
churches
and
houses
,
which
the
rage
or
the
pagans
had
destroyed
,
he
rebuilt
them
,
and
restored
the
city
to
its
ancient
happy
state
.
