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 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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Caratake hauing heard the summe of their re|quest, Caratake promised aid to the Bri|tains. and throughlie weieng the same, promised them to be readie with his whole puissance in the be|ginning of the next spring, to come to their aid, vn|to what place soeuer they should thinke expedient: and thereof he told them they might be most assured, willing them in the meane time so to prouide for themselues, as their enimies might haue no ad|uantage at their hands. With this agreeable an|swere the British messengers returned to Shrews|burie to the confederats, who reioising at the news, made prouision against the next spring to go against the Romans, in hope of good successe, speciallie through aid of the Scots and Picts, who also with The Picts ioine with Scots and Britains a|gainst the Ro|mans. their king called Conkist were willing to helpe to|wards the deliuering of the land from bondage of the Romans, whose nestling so neere their noses they were loth to sée or heare of. So soone therefore as the spring approched, all those thrée people, Britains, Scots, and Picts, gathered their powers together, and met in Yorkeshire, in purpose to incounter with their enimies in battell, wheresoeuer they found them.
