Compare 1587 edition: 1 After the death of Aurelius Ambroſe, hys brother Vter was made king of Brytaine, and falling in loue with the wife of Gothlois Duke of Cornwall, hee did not onely force hir to lye with him, but alſo to the ende hee might enioye hir the more freely, he ceaſſed not to purſue hir huſbande to ridde him out of the way, whome at length he tooke within a Caſtle into the which he was fledde, and foorthwyth cauſed him to bee executed, [...]urmyſing matter agaynſt him for that he had forſaken one of his Captaines cleped Na|thaliod, in battaile agaynſt the Saxons. By the wife of this Gothlois,Vter begat Arthure. Vter had iſſue the greate Arthure, and becauſe he had no legitimate ſonne, he appoynted that Arthure ſhoulde ſucceede him in gouernment of the realme.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 Herewith Loth the Pictiſh king was not a little moued, diſdeyning that Arthure beeing a baſtarde, and begot of another mans wife in ad|ulterie, ſhoulde be preferred before his ſonnes the rightfull heyres of the Brytiſhe kingdome: and therefore by Ambaſſadours he did what he could to diſſwade Vter from making any ſuch ordi|nance. But when he ſawe that he coulde not re|moue him from his opinion, he thought beſt to content himſelfe with ſilence, till the time ſerued better for his purpoſe.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 At length when the warres were agayne re|nued betwixt Vter and Occa the Saxon king, Loth in reuenge of the iniurie done to him and his children, ioyned himſelf with the Saxons, and was with them at the battaile, in which the Brytaynes got the victorie by the preſence of Saint Germaine that holy Biſhop of Auxer as the Scottiſh writers make mention. Whiche battail as the ſame is ſet foorth by Hector Boe|tius, bycauſe it toucheth the ſtate of the Pictes, we haue thought good here to expreſſe.
