Interea Saxones Pictique bellum adversum Brettones iunctis viribus susceperunt, quos eadem necessitas in castra contraxerat: et cum trepidi partes suas pene inpares judicarent, sanctorum antistitum auxilium petierunt: qui promissum maturantes adventum, tantum paventibus fiduciae contulerunt, ut accessisse maximus crederetur exercitus.
In this meantime the Saxons and Redshanks waged war with united forces against the Britons, which had been assembled together in camp by the same need of making face against them; and through fear judging that they on their side should fall short of proving a match for them, they required the help of the holy bishops: which hastening their promised coming put their fearful hearts in such confidence, as though a great army had been come at that instant to aid them.
