Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But now againe to our purpose. Aruiragus be|ing established in the kingdome of Britaine, vpon Aruiragus forsaketh his lawfull wife. some priuat displeasure forsooke his wife named Uo|ada, the sister of Caratake king of the Scotishmen, and maried Genissa a Romane ladie, which act ma|nie of the Britans disallowed; the more in deed, be|cause he had faire issue alreadie by Uoada, as a son and two daughters. But this was doone, as all men iudged, by the counsell of Aulus Planctius, there|by to breake all friendship and aliance betwixt the Britains and the Scots, to the end that in no case of rebellion they should ioine their powers togither. Neither did he onelie refuse Uoada, whome all men knew to be his lawfull wife, but also caused hir Uoada impri|soned. to be kept in prison, till that the Britains (hauing indignation thereat) got hir out of the place where Uoada is de|liuered out of prison, and conueied into wales. she was kept, and conucied hir into Wales togither with hir children.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 With which dealing Aruiragus being highlie mo|ued, determined with force of armes to punish them that had thus misused him: but perceiuing that not onelie those people which inhabited the countrie, now called Wales, and other that adioined on the north marches thereof were readie to defend the queene against his malice, he was faine to require aid of the Romans, who with their capteine Aulus Planctius assembling togither with such of the Bri|tains as tooke part with Aruiragus, set forward to|ward the enimies, and ioining with them in bat|tell, Aruiragus giueth his eni|mies an ouer|throw. did giue them the ouerthrow. The next day af|ter this victorie thus gotten, word was brought that the people inhabiting in the countries which we A commotion against Arui|ragus. now call Lanchashire, Yorkeshire, and Darbishire, were vp in armour against the king and the Ro|mans, by reason whereof Aruiragus and Aulus Planctius withdrew towards London, that defen|ding the sea coasts towards France, they might yet h [...] the sea open at all times whatsoeuer chan|ced. And to reenforce their power, Aulus Plan|ctius sent ouer for two legions of souldiers into France, to come with all spéed to his aid.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 The Britains, who had gone so farre in the matter The Bri|tains make themselues strong. that they could not well withdraw themselues, now being certified of all their enimies dooings, thought best to make themselues so strong as was possible. And to the end that they might procéed in some or|derlie meane, all the greatest lords and estates as|sembled The Bri|tains assem|ble them|selues at Shresburie. togither at Shrewsburie, in those daies cal|led Coriminum, where they concluded vpon a league to aid one another with all their might and maine against the Romans & Aruiragus, who went about to bring them wholie vnder seruile subiection and thraldome of the same Romans. They being They confe|derat them|selues togi|ther. thus agréed to make warres in this quarrell, and for the same purpose to ioine their whole puissance togi|ther, there rose a doubt whome they might choose for their generall capteine, for that it was feared least there might grow some secret enuie amongest the nobles being of equall power, if one should be in this case preferred before an other. For the auoi|ding of which mischiefe, by the graue admonition of one Comus a noble man of the parties of Wales, they accorded to send messengers vnto Caratake Caratake chosen to be capteine of the Britains. the king of Scotland, requiring him to aid them in their right and iust quarrell against Aruiragus and the Romans, whereby he might reuenge the iniu|rie doone to his sister quéene Uoada and hir issue, Aruiragus would dis|herit his own children which he had by Uoada. whome the father through counsell of the Romans purposed to disherit to the end, such children as he had by Genissa (for that they were of the Romane bloud) might inioy the kingdome. They further de|clared, that all the British lords which were confe|derat in this enterprise, had chosen him by common assent to be their generall and chiefe leader, if it might so please him to take it vpon him, as their trust was he would: considering the iust causes of their warre, and the suertie which by victorie gotten might insue vnto all the inhabitants of the whole Ile of Albion.
