So ſoone therefore as they heard he was come, ſuche as were abroade forraying the ſame countrey, were called backe to the campe.King Indulph prepared to the batayle. But Indulph without protracting of time came ſtil foreward, and vpon his approche fo the enimies, he prepa|red to giue battayle, and with a ſhort oration be|gan to encourage his people to fight manfully, but before he coulde make an ende,The Danes gaue the on|ſet. the Danes gaue the onſet with ſuche violence, that the ba|tayle a long ſpace continued doubtfull on bothe ſides, the Danes on the one parte and the Scots on the other, doyng their vttermoſt endeuours to atchieue the victorie, till at length they of Lou|thian with theyr Captaines Dunbar & Crame began to appeare on the backe half of the Danes,A ſupply ſent vnto the Scots with whiche ſight they were put in ſuche feare, that thoſe which fought in the fore ward, retyred backe vnto the middle warde, whome the Scots egrely purſuyng, beat downe euen till they came vnto the rereward, which coueting rather to die in the fight, than to giue backe, and ſo to be ſlaine in the chaſe (for thoſe in the rereward were hea|uie armed men) cõtinued the batayle more with a certaine ſtiffe ſtubborneſſe of minde than with any great force or forecaſt, being ſo ouermatched as they were, and forſaken of theyr fellowes: for other of the Danes,The Danes fledde. namely the Archers and Kernes fled theyr wayes, ſome towardes theyr ſhippes, and ſome here and there being ſcattered abroade in the fieldes, fell into the moſſes and mareſſe grounds and other ſtreytes, where they were ſlaine euery one by ſuch as followed in the chaſe.
