Original Text :	Ad compescendam huius presumptionis insolentiam Carolus cum magno exercitu Brittanniam intravit. Pugna committitur, Saxones, qui conducti fuerant, ad excipiendos velocium equorum anfractuosos recursus in prima fronte ponuntur, sed primo impetu spiculis Brittonum territi in acie se recondunt.
