had vimeath doone his message, when word came vnto Corbreid how an armie of the Ro|mans Caesius Na|sica entred with an armie in to Gallo|way. vnder the guiding of Caesius Nasica was
entred into the marches of Galloway, to the great terror of all the
inhabitants, doubting to be spoiled and robbed on ech hand. These newes put the herald in danger of his
life, had not Corbreid vpon regard to the law of armes licenced him to depart. The host which Corbreid
brought with him into Gallo|way, he bestowed in castels and fortresses abroad in the countrie for more
safegard, but he himselfe rode in all hast vnto Epiake, to haue the aduise and aid of one Uenusius that had

vnkind stepmother of Caratake, as ye haue heard before. This Uenusius was
of coun|sell with his wife Cartimandua in the betraieng of king Caratake, and therefore was growne into much
hatred of the people for that fact, but through support of the Romans he was for a time defended from all
their malices. Notwithstanding in the end being wearied of the proud gouernment of the Ro|mans, Uenusius re|uolteth. he reuolted from them vnto Corbreid. Where|with his wife being
offended, found means to ap|prehend both him and his brethren with certeine of his kinsfolks, and laied them
fast in prison.

while a certeine number of Scots distressed a few forragers of the Romans, but following the chase somewhat
rashlie, they were inclosed by the enimies and slaine. This mischance put the Scots in great feare, and the
Romans in good successe, so that Na|sica was in purpose to haue assailed a certeine strong place, wherein a
number of the Scotishmen were gotten, and had fortified the entries, had not other newes altered his
purpose; for hearing how an other armie of the Scots was ioined with the Picts, and were approched within

And likewise the Picts pai|eng their former tribut for the finding of such gari|sons of Romans as laie at

should aid by anie maner of means the inhabitants of the Ile of Man, who had doone manie notable
displea|sures to the Romans during the last warres. This peace continued a six yeares during the life of
