Iiiimccccx. Marcianus et valentinianus an. vii.
Gens anglorum siue saxonum britaniam tribus longis nauibus aduehitur, quibus dum iter
prosperatum domi fama referret, mittitur exercitus fortior, qui iunctus prioribus primo hostes quos
petebatur abigit.
Deinde in socios arma uertens totam prope insulam ab orientali eius plaga usque ad occidentalem igni
uel ense subigit conficta occasione, quod pro se militantibus brittones minus sufficienter stipendia
darent. |
| Translation |
Marcian and Valentinian [ruled for] 7 years. The people of the Angles or of the Saxons were conveyed to Britain in three longships. When their voyage turned out to be a success, news of them was carried back home. A stronger army set out, which, joined to the previous one, first of all drove away the enemy they were seeking. Then they turned their arms on their allies, and subjugated almost the entire island by fire or the sword, from the eastern shore as far as the western one, on the trumped-up excuse that the Britons had given them a less than adequate stipend for their military services.
