But Mordred made the meane, that brought them in agayne:
Vortiporus wyth warre almost consumde them all:
Then Malgo he with peace restorde agayne their state,
Cariticus the synne of ciuil stryfe did loue,
For which Gurmundus did the Britaynes much annoy:
Then Cadwin out of Wales kyng Etheldred did spoyle,
Cadwalline then did force king Penda to a foyle.
And I Cadwallader at last did presse in place,
Then Lothar king of Kent in warre that wretch I slue:
And Ethiwolne the king of Southsaxons I spoylde,
