Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 This voice woonderfullie incouraged the Scotish|men The Bri|tains put to flight. and Picts, but the Britains were put in such feare therewith, that the most part of them imme|diatlie herevpon fell to running away. Others of them iudging this to be but some craftie and subtill practise of the enimies deuised of purpose, as it was in déed, to discomfort them with, abode by it still: manfullie continuing in fight, till they were beaten downe and slaine in maner euerie mothers sonne. This victorie being thus hardlie got, cost more mens liues than anie other had doone of manie yeares be|fore; Twentie thousand of Scots and Picts slaine. Mordred is slaine. for of the Scots and Picts being vanquishers, there died in that mortall battell aboue 20000 men, togither with Mordred, and a great number of the nobilitie of both the nations. Of the Britains and such other as were with them in aid, there were slaine, what in battell and what in chase, at the point of 30000, among whome was Arthur himselfe, with Arthur with 30000 Bri|tains slaine. Gawan is slaine. Gawan or Galuan (as some bookes haue) brother vnto Mordred, who bare such good will and intire loue vnto his lord and maister the said Arthur, that he fought that day most earnestlie on his side against his owne naturall brother the said Mordred. Also there were killed Caime and Gawolan, with the Caime and Gawolan are slaine. most part of all the residue of the British nobilitie, and manie prisoners taken, by reason that Humber kept them in from flieng anie way foorth on the one side, which prisoners also were afterwards slaine, the gentlemen onelie excepted.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The day next after the battell, the campe of the Britains was rifled, and amongst other rich spoiles Quéene Guainore ta|ken. The spoile of the Britains camp diuided. there was found quéene Guainore Arthurs wife, with a great number of other ladies and gentlewo|men. The whole spoile of the campe and field being equallie diuided by lots betwixt them, the Scots had for their parts certeine faire charets laden with rich stuffe and iewels, also horsses and armours, beside sundrie noble men, whom they had to their prisoners. Unto the Picts fell for their portion quéene Guai|nore, with the ladies and gentlewomen, and diuers other of the noble men, besides a great quantitie of other rich preie and booties. These prisoners, which Dunbarre in Angus, not that in Lou|thian. the Picts had, were conueied into a castell in Angus, called Dunbarre, a place of great strength in those daies, though at this present there remaineth no|thing but the name with the ruines therof. In which castell they were deteined vnder sure ward, during the residue of their naturall liues. In witnesse wherof there be remaining vnto this day, the graues and monuments where manie of these captiue Bri|tains were buried, in the fields of a towne in that countrie called Megill, not past 10 miles from Dun|dée: but amongest the residue, that of Guainore is most famous.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 There goeth a plaine tale ouer all that countrie, The fable of quéene Guai|nores graue buried in An|gus. told for an assured trueth, that if anie woman chance to tread vpon that graue, they shall remaine barren without bringing foorth anie issue more than the said Guainore did. But whether this be true or not, cer|teine it is (as Boetius writeth) that there dare no woman come néere that graue, not onelie eschuing it themselues, but also commanding their daugh|ters to beware thereof. This bloudie battell weake|ned so much the forces both of the Scots, Picts, and Britains, that manie a day after they were not able to recouer againe their former states and dignities. The yeare also that these thrée nations incountred thus cruellie togither, was after the birth of our Sa|uiour 542, the 26 of Arthurs reigne ouer the Bri|tains, 542. 8. H. B. and the 11 of Eugenius his gouernement ouer the Scotishmen.
