¶Of kynge Aurilambros how that he pursued vortiger and Engist and how they deyed.

MErlyn and hys moder departed frome the kynge / and torned agayne to Car∣mardyn. And soone after tydynges came to ye Brytons that Aurilambros and vter his bro¦ther were arryued at Totnesse wyth a greate hoste / And anone the Brytons assembled thē and wente to receyue Aurylambros and Vter wyth grete noblesse. And had them vnto Lon¦don / and crowned Aurylambros & made hym kynge / and dyde vnto hym homage. And ano¦ne he axed where. Vortyger that was kynge myght be founde / for he wolde be auenged on his brothers dethe / and after he wolde warre vpon paynems. And they tolde hym that Vor¦tyger was in walys / & soo they ladde hym thy¦ther warde. ¶Vortiger wyste welle that tho brethern came hym to conquere / And fledde thens in to a castell that was called. Gerneth that stode vppon an hyght mountayne / and there hym helde. Aurilambros and Vter hys brother and theyr folke had besyeged the ca∣stell full long tyme / for the cagell was stron∣ge and well arrayed. ¶So at the laste they ca¦sted wylde fyre and brente howses and men & all theyr araye: and as moche as was wythin the castell. Soo that Vortiger was brente a∣monge all other: and soo he deyde wyth moche sorowe. ¶Tho was Engist in Kente and reg¦ned there: ane herde thys tydynges: and ano∣ne fledde and wolde haue gone in to Scotlon¦de for to haue had socoure. But Aurilambros and his men mette with hym in the north coū¦tre and yane hym batayl. And Engist and his men defended whyles that they myghte. But he and his folke were discomfyted and slayne And Octa his sone fledde vnto yorke. And Au¦rilambros hym folowed egerly. And. Octa a lytell whyle withstode hym: But after warde he put hym to his mercy. And aurilambros re¦ceyued hym: and to hym and to hys men gaaf∣the countree of Galewaye in. Scotlonde: and there they dwelled. ¶The kyng aurilambros wente thorugh out the londe: and put awaye the name of. Englonde: that. Engist after hys name had called it befoere. Tho lete he it calle agayne grete. Brytayne: and lete make ayen cherches: houses of religyon: castelles: cytees and broughs. And towones that the. Saxons hadde destroyed. And came to London: and le¦te make the walles of the cyte: whyche Engist and his folke hadde castedowne. ¶The Bry¦tons ladde hym vnto the mount of. Ambrian that somtyme was an hous of relygyon: that tho was destroyed thrughe the paynems:
