Eodem tempore venit alius quidam de natione Brettonum, ut ferunt, iter faciens iuxta ipsum locum in quo praefata erat pugna completa; et vidit unius loci spatium cetero campo viridius ac venustius: coepitque sagaci animo conicere quod nulla esset alia causa insolitae illo in loco viriditatis, nisi quia ibidem sanctior cetero exercitu vir aliquis fuisset interfectus.
About the same time there came a certain other traveller of the British nation, journeying, as the bruit is, near the very place wherein the foresaid battle was brought to its end; and he espied one plot more green and pleasant than was the residue of the field: and began of quickness of wit to guess, that there should be no other cause of the unwonted greenness of that place, save that on that same spot some one man holier than the rest of the army had been slain.
