THis Octauian gouerned ye londe well and nobly / but he had none heyre saue a doughter that was a yonge childe that he lo∣ued as moche as his lyfe And for as moche as he wered syke and was in poynt of det / & my∣ghte no lenger regne / he wold haue made one of his neuewes to haue be kynge / the whyche was a noble knyght & a strong man that was called Conan Mer••edok•• & he sholde haue kyp¦te the kynges doughter and haue maryed her whan tyme had ben. But the lordes of the lon∣de wolde not suffre it / but yaaf her coūseyll to be maryed to some hygh man of grete honour and thenne myght she haue all her luste / & the coūsell of the Emperour Constantyne her lor∣de. And at this coūseyll they accorded / & chose tho Cador of Cornewaylle for to go to the em∣perour for to do this message. And he toke the waye and wente to Rome / and tolde the Em∣peroure thys tydynges well and wysely. And the Emperour sente in thys londe wyth hym hys owne cosyn that was hys vncles sone a noble knyght & a stronge / yt was called Maxi∣mian. And he spowsed Octauians doughter / and was crowned kynge of this londe.
