Guitolion   of   Gloui。   Bonus�察  �Paul�察  �Mauron�察  �Guotelin�察  �were   four   brothers�察�

who built Gloiuda�察�a great city upon the banks of the river Severn�察�and in 

Birtish is called Cair Gloui�察�in Saxon�察�Gloucester。 Enough has been said of 

Vortigern。 ��1�А�Fernvail�察�or Farinmail�察�appears to have been king of Gwent 

or Monmouth。 ��2�А�V。R。 'Two provinces�察�Builth and Guorthegirnaim。' 

     50。 St。 Germanus�察�after his death�察�returned into his own country。 *At 

that   time�察  �the   Saxons   greatly   increased   in   Britain�察  �both   in   strength   and 

numbers。 And Octa�察�after the death of his father Hengist�察�came from the 

sinistral   part   of   the   island   to   the   kingdom   of   Kent�察  �and   from   him   have 

proceeded all the kings of that province�察�to the present period。 * V。R。 All 

this   to   the   word   'Amen��'   in   other   MSS。   is   placed   after   the   legend   of   St。 

Patrick。 

     Then   it   was�察  �that   the   magnanimous   Arthur�察  �with   all   the   kings   and 

military   force   of   Britain�察  �fought   against   the   Saxons。   And   though   there 

were many more noble than himself�察�yet he was twelve times chosen their 

commander�察�and was as often conqueror。 The first battle in which he was 

engaged�察�was at the mouth of the river Gleni。��1�А�The second�察�third�察�fourth�察�

and   fifth�察  �were   on   another   river�察  �by  the   Britons   called   Duglas�撮�2�А  �in   the 

region Linuis。 The sixth�察�on the river Bassas。��3�А�The seventh in the wood 

Celidon�察�which the Britons call Cat Coit Celidon。��4�А�The eighth was near 

Gurnion   castle�撮�5�А  �where   Arthur   bore   the   image   of   the   Holy   Virgin�撮�6�А�

them the whole day with great slaughter。��7�А�The ninth was at the City of 

Legion�撮�8�А�which is called Cair Lion。 The tenth was on the banks of the 

river Trat Treuroit。��9�А�The eleventh was on the mountain Breguoin�察�which 

we   call   Cat   Bregion。��10�А  �The   twelfth   was   a   most   severe   contest�察  �when 

Arthur     penetrated     to  the   hill  of  Badon。��11�А     �In   this  engagement�察      �nine 

hundred and   forty fell by  his hand   alone�察�no one   but the   Lord   affording 

him assistance。 In all these engagements the Britons were successful。 For 

no   strength   can   avail   against   the   will   of   the Almighty。   ��1�А  �Supposed   by 

some to be the Glem�察�in Lincolnshire�察�but most probably the Glen�察�in the 

northern part of Northumberland。 ��2�А�Or Dubglas。 The little river Dunglas�察�

which formed the southern boundary of Lothian。 Whitaker says�察�the river 

Duglas�察�in Lancashire�察�near Wigan。 ��3�А�Not a river�察�but an isolated rock in 

the   Frith   of   Forth�察  �near   the   town   of   North   Berwick�察  �called   ;The   Bass。; 

Some think it is the river Lusas�察�in Hampshire。 ��4�А�The Caledonian forest�察�

probably the Roman station of Garionenum�察�near Yarmouth�察�in Norfolk。 ��6�А�

V。R。 The image of the cross of Christ�察�and of the perpetual virgin St。 Mary。 

��7�А�V。R。 For Arthur proceeded to Jerusalem�察�and there made a cross to the 

size   of   the   Saviour's   cross�察  �and   there   it   was   consecrated�察  �and   for   three 

successive days   he   fasted�察 �watched�察 �and prayed�察 �before   the   Lord's   cross�察�

that the Lord would give him the victory�察�by this sign�察�over the heathen�察�

which also took place�察�and he took with him the image of St。 Mary�察�the 

fragments   of   which   are   still   preserved   in   great   veneration   at   Wedale�察  �in 

English Wodale�察�in Latin Vallis´doloris。 Wodale is a village in the province 

of Lodonesia�察�but now of the jurisdiction of the bishop of St。 Andrew's�察�of 

Scotland�察  �six   miles   on   the   west   of   that   heretofore   noble   and      eminent

     The more the Saxons were vanquished�察�the more they sought for new 

supplies      of  Saxons     from    Germany�察      �so   that  kings�察   �commanders�察       �and

of   the   Saxon   race�察  �was   the   first   king   in   Bernicia�察  �and   in   Cair   Ebrauc 

��York��。 

     When Gratian Aequantius was consul at rome�察�because then the whole 

world was governed by the Roman consuls�察�the Saxons were received by 

Vortigern in the year of our Lord four hundred and forty´seven�察�and to the 

year in which we now write�察�five hundred and forty´seven。 And whosoever 

shall read herein may receive instruction�察�the Lord Jesus Christ affording 

assistance�察�who�察�co´eternal with the Father and the Holy Ghost�察�lives and 

reigns for ever and ever。 Amen。 

     In those days Saint Patrick was captive among the Scots。 His master's 

name was Milcho�察�to whom he was a swineherd for seven years。 When he 

had attained the age of seventeen he gave him his liberty。 By the divine 

impulse�察  �he   applied   himself   to   reading   of   the   Scriptures�察  �and   afterwards 

went   to   Rome�察  �where�察  �replenished   with   the   Holy   Spirit�察  �he   continued   a 

great   while�察  �studying   the   sacred   mysteries   of   those   writings。   During   his 

continuance there�察�Palladius�察�the first bishop�察�was sent by pope Celestine 

to   convert     the  Scots    ��the   Irish�А�  But   tempests     and   signs    from    God 

prevented his landing�察�for no one can arrive in any country�察�except it be 

allowed from above�察�altering therefore his course from Ireland�察�he came to 

Britain and died in the land of the Picts。* * At Fordun�察�in the district of 

Mearns�察�in Scotland´Usher。 51。 The death of Palladius being known�察�the 

Roman       patricians�察   �Theodosius       and   Valentinian�察    �then    reigning�察   �pope 

Celestine sent Patrick to convert the Scots to the faith of the Holy Trinity�察�

Victor�察�the angel of God�察�accompanying�察�admonishing�察�and assisting him�察�

and also the bishop Germanus。 

     Germanus then sent the ancient Segerus with him as a venerable and 

praiseworthy bishop�察�to king Amatheus�撮�1�А�who lived near�察�and who had 

prescience of what was to happen�察�he was consecrated bishop in the reign 

of that king by the holy pontiff�撮�2�А�assuming the name of Patrick�察�having 

hitherto   been   known   by   that   of   Maun�察  �Auxilius�察  �Isserninus�察  �and   other 

brothers   were   ordained   with   him  to   inferior   degrees。  ��1�А�V。R。   Germanus

Matheorex and the holy bishop。; 

     52。 Having distributed benedictions�察�and perfected all in the name of 

the Holy Trinity�察�he embarked on the sea which is between the Gauls and 

the    Britons�察  �and    after  a  quick    passage     arrived   in  Britain�察   �where    he 

preached for some time。 Every necessary preparation being made�察�and the 

angel giving him warning�察�he came to the Irish Sea。 And having filled the 

ship with foreign gifts and spiritual treasures�察�by the permission of God he 

arrived in Ireland�察�where he baptized and preached。 

     53。 From the beginning of the world�察�to the fifth year of king Logiore�察�

when   the   Irish   were   baptized�察  �and   faith   in   the   unity   of   the   individual 

Trinity was published to them�察�are five thousand three hundred and thirty 

years。 

     54。 Saint Patrick taught the gospel in foreign nations for the space of 

forty   years。   Endued   with   apostolical   powers�察  �he   gave   sight   to   the   blind�察�

cleansed the lepers�察�gave hearing to the deaf�察�cast out devils�察�raised nine 

from the dead�察�redeemed many captives of both sexes at his own charge�察�

and set them free in the name of the Holy Trinity。 He taught the servants of 

God�察�and he wrote three hundred and sixty´five canonical and other books 

relating     to  the   catholic    faith。   He   founded      as  many     churches�察    �and 

consecrated   the   same   number   of   bishops�察  �strengthening   them   with   the 

Holy   Ghost。   He   ordained   three   thousand   presbyters�察  �and   converted   and 

baptized twelve thousand persons in the province of Connaught。 And�察�in 

one day baptized seven kings�察�who were the seven sons of Amalgaid。��1�А�

He continued fasting forty days and nights�察�on the summit of the mountain 

Eli�察  �that   is   Cruachan´Aichle�撮�2�А  �and   preferred   three  petitions   to   God   for 

the Irish�察�that had embraced the faith。 The Scots say�察�the first was�察�that he 

would receive every repenting sinner�察�even at the latest extremity of life�察�

the second�察�that they should never be exterminated by barbarians�察�and the 

third�察�that as Ireland��3�А�will be overflowed with water�察�seven years before 

the coming of our Lord to judge the quick and the dead�察�the crimes of the 

people   might   be   washed
