But they persisting in their former opinion for defense of their liberties, and vt|terlie refusing all maner of bondage, would incline by no meanes to come in any bond of fréendship with the Romans. After the returne of these last messengers, Cesar was fullie resolued to enter into their countries, to force them vnto that by dint of sword, wherevnto by treatie he might not induce them: and had set forward on that iournie shortlie after indéed, if he had not béene called backe into France, to pacifie sundrie commotions there raised by the reuolting of the people inhabiting in those countries, where the Picards and Normans, with other the inhabitants néere about Chartres doo now dwell.

Herevnto the same chronicles adde, that Cesar builded a great stone|house of 24 cubits in heigth, & of 12 cubits in bredth, of square hewen stones, right workemanlie framed, which house they saie Cesar caused to be vsed in steed of a iudgement hall, and here placed it néere the ri|uer of Caron, ouer against the forenamed citie of Camelon, as a witnesse that the Romans armie had béene so far forward within that countrie.

About the same time, in which he looked to be inuaded by Iulius Ce|sar and the Romans, and for that purpose had sent for them of the westerne Iles to reinforce his host, he Murketus nephue vnto Gillus inua|deth the we|sterne Iles. was now inforced to conuert it another waie, for there was one Murketus, nephue vnto the aboue remembred Gillus, that came with a nauie out of Ireland to rob and spoile those Iles, being destitute as then of men to resist him. But Ederus hearing thereof, dispatched Cadallanus with an armie into those parties for defense of his subiects: which Ca|dallanus behaued himselfe so politikelie in this ex|ploit, that setting vpon the enimies as they laie at anchor, he tooke them in the night season, without making any great defense, and after hanged them vp along the shore side within the Ile of Gowre: Murket is hanged with manie more. 48 H B. 26 H.

The rem|nant of Ederus his reigne passed without anie o|ther notable trouble: and so after he had reigned 38 yeeres, he deceased a verie old man, about the 23 yeare of the empire of Augustus Cesar. He was buried also at Dunstafage with all due pompe & so|lemnitie, hauing diuers obelisks (as the custome then was) erected and set vp about the place where he was so intumulate.
