Compare 1587 edition: 1 Vnto the Picts fell for their portion Queene Guaynore, with the Ladies and gentlewomen, and diuerſe other of the Noble men, beſides a greate quantitie of other riche pray and booties. Theſe priſoners which the Pictes had, were con|ueyed vnto a Caſtel in Angus,Dunbarre in Angus, not that in Lou|thian. called Dunbarre, a place of great ſtrength in th [...]ſe dayes, thoughe at this preſent there remayneth nothing but the name with the ruynes thereof. In whiche Ca|ſtell they were deteyned vnder ſure warde, du|ring the reſidue of theyr naturall lyues. In wit|neſſe whereof there be remayning vnto this day, the graues and monuments where manye of thoſe captyue Brytaynes were buryed in the fieldes of a towne in that Countrey called Me|g [...], not paſt ten myles from Dundee. But a|mongeſt the reſidue, that of Guaynore is moſte famous.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 The fable of Queen Guay|nores graue buried in Angus.There goeth a plaine tale ouer all that coun|trey, tolde for an aſſured truth, that if any womã chaunce to treade vpon that graue, they ſhall re|maine barren withoute bringing forth any iſſue more than the ſayd Guaynore did. But whether this be true or not, certaine it is, as Boetius wri|teth, that there dare no women come neare, that graue: not only eſchuing it themſelues, but alſo commaunding their daughters to beware therof.

Compare 1587 edition: 1 This bloudie battaile weakened ſo much the forces both of the Scots, Pictes and Brytaynes, that many a day after they were not able to reco|uer againe their former eſtates or dignities.

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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the same yere before the battell, were séene ma|nie Strange and vnketh woon|ders. strange sights in Albion. Grasse and hearbs in Yorkeshire appeared to bée all stained with bloud. Néere vnto Camelon, a cow brought foorth a calfe with two heads. Also an ewe brought foorth a lambe that was both male and female. The sunne appeared about noone daies all wholie of a bloudie colour. The element appeared full of bright starres to euerie mans sight continuallie for the space of two daies togither. In Wales there was a battell betweene crowes and pies on the one side, and rauens on the other, with such a slaughter of them, as before that time had not beene heard of.
