people, for prouision wherof he had good store both of vittels and armour. Garnard king of the Picts hearing

friendship that could be deuised. Gildo himselfe was led by the king vnto Dundee, and lodged with him there
in the castell, his people were prouided for abroad in the countrie in places most for their ease, to
refresh themselues the better after their painefull iournie by the seas.
