by in y e winter season nor saw any hope how they should repasse againe into Gallia In the meane time the Brytish princes that were in the Romaine army perceyuing how greatly this mishap had discouraged the Romains againe by the smal circuit of their campe gessed that they coulde be no great number and that lacke of vitayles sore oppressed them they priuily stale away one after another out of the campe purposing to assemble their powers againe to forestall the Romains from vitayleâ—… and so to driue the â—â—tter off till winter which if they might do vanquishing these or closing them from returning they trusted that none of the Romains from then thenceforth would attempt eftsoones to come come into Baytain Cesar mistrusting their dealings bicause they stayd to deliuer the residue of their hostages commaunded vitails to be brought out of y e parties adioyning not hauing other 〈◊〉 to repâ—…iâ—â— his ships becaused .xij. of those that were vtterly past recouerie by the hurts receyued through violence of the teÌ„â—â—st â—…o be broken wherwith the other in which some recouerie was perceyued might be repayred In the meane time whilest these things were a doing it chaunced that as one of the Romaine legions named the .vij. was sent forth to suche in corne out of the countrey adioyning as theyr custome was no warre at that time being suspected or once looked for when part of the people remayned abrode in the field and part repayred to the camp those that warded before the campe aduertised Cesar that three appearedâ—… dust grâ—â—er than was acenst oâ—â—ed from that quarter into the which the legion was gone to fetch in câ—…râ—…e Cesar iudging therof what the matter might meane commaunded those handes that waâ—…ded to goe with him that way forth and appoynted other two bands to come into their rowmthes and the resâ—…one of his people to get them to armor and to follow quickly after him He was not gone any great way from the campe when hee might see where his people were one matched by 〈◊〉 enimies and had muchâ—â— do to heare out the brunt for the legion bring thronged togither the Brytaynes peâ—…ted them sore with arrows darts on ech side for sithence there was no fortage left in any part of the country about but only in this 〈◊〉 y e Brytains indged that the Romains would come thither for it therfore 〈◊〉 lodged theÌ„selues w tin the woods in ambâ—â—â—s the night 〈◊〉 on y e â—…orow after when they saw the Romains dispersed here there and busie to cut downe the 〈◊〉 they set vpon them on the soden sâ—â—â—ing some few of them brought the residue out of order coÌ„passing theÌ„ about with their horsmen and charets so that they were in greate distresse The maner of fight with these charets was such that in y e beginning of a battaile they would ride aboute the sides and skirts of the enimies host bestow their dartes as they sat in those charets so that oftentimes wyth the braying of the horses craking noise of y e charet whreâ—â—s they disordred their enimies and 〈◊〉 that they had wound themselues in amongst the troupes of horsineÌ„ they would leap out of the charets fight a foot in the mean time those y t guided the charets would withdraw theÌ„selues out of the battail placing theÌ„selues so that if their people were ouermatched with the multitude of enimies they might easily withdraw to their charets and mount vpon the same againe by meanes whereof they are as readie to remoue as the horsemen as stedfast to stand in the battaile as the footmen and so to supplie both dueties in one And those Charetmen by exercise and custome were so canning in their feat that although their horses were put to run and gallop yet could they stay them hold them backe at their pleasures and turne and wind them to and fro in a moment notwithstanding that the place were very steepe and daungerous and againe they would run vp and downe very nimbly vpon the coppes stand vpoÌ„ y e beam and conuey theÌ„selues quickly again into y e charet Cesar thus finding his people in great distresse and readie to be destroyed came in good time and deliuered theÌ„ out of that daunger for y e Brytains vpon his approch with new succors gaue ouer to assaile their enimies any further the Romaines were deliuered out of the feare wherein they stoode before his comming Immediately wherevpon euen the same day they sent Ambassadors to Cesar to sue for peace who gladly accepting their offer commaunded them to send ouer into Gallia after he shoulde be returned thither hostages in nuÌ„bre double to those that were agreed vpon at the first After that these things were thus ordred Cesar bycause that the Moneth of September was wel neare halfe spent and that Winter hasted on a season not meete for his weake bruysed shippes to brooke the Seas in determined not to stay anye longer but hauing winde and weather for his purpose got himselfe a boorde with his people and returned into Gallia Thus wryteth Cesar touching his first iourney made into Brytaine Caesar de 〈◊〉 Gallia 〈◊〉 But the Brytish Hystorie which Polidore calleth the new Hystorie declareth that Cesar in a pight field was vanquished at the first encounter and so withdrew backe into Fraunee Beda also wryteth thus that Cesar coÌ„ming into the countrey of Gallia where the people then called Moâ—…ini inhabited whiche are at this day the same that inhabite the Dioces of Terwine from whence lyeth the shortest passage ouer into Brytain now called England got togither .lxxx sayle of great shippes and row Gallies with the which he passed ouer into Brytayne and there at the first being wearied with sharpe and sore fight and after taken with a grieuous tempest lost the more part of his nauie with no small number of his souldiers and almost all his horsemen And therewith being returned into Gallia placed his souldiers in steeds to soiourne there for the winter season Thus hath Bede The British hystorie moreouer maketh mention of three vnder kings that ayded Cassibellane in this first battail fought w t Cesar as Cridiorâ—…s alias Ederus K. of Albania nowe called Scotland Guitethus king of Venedocia that is north Wales Britael king of Demetia at this day called south Wales The same hystorie maketh also mention of one Belinus that was general of Cassibelanes army and likewise of Nenius brother to Cassibelane which in the fight happened to get Cesars sword fastned in his shield by a blow which Cesar stroke at him Androgeus also and Tenancius were at the battail in ayde of Cassibelane But Nennius died within .xv. dayes after the battail of the hurt receiued at Cesars hand although after he was so hurt he slue Labienus one of y e Rom.
