History
485
Battle of Colchester. King Aethelswith takes a short sail from Kent with his continental army and also many warriors from King Hengest . They land near Maldon and pillage widely until Duke Lucius musters his army and meets them south of Colchester. The fighting is fierce, but the Saxons prevail and the duke has to retreat to Colchester. British refugees flee into the Quinqueroi Forest but are pursued and enslaved by the hundreds.
486
Caerwent was raided by Saxons.
War in Southern Caercolun: In the east, the Saxons are enslaving as many Britons as they can, killing everyone who tries to run away. The British army goes ready for skirmishing all summer. Yet there are more Saxons than Britons, and when Duke Lucius comes out with his army, the enemy gathers quickly and battle is met. Near Ipswich, the duke is ambushed and killed, though much of his army escapes northward.
Southern Caercolun is carved apart and the Saxon kingdom of Essex is formed in its place.
The king sends Prince Madoc to settle the area; Madoc rallies the army and the Saxons stop advancing. Afterward, Madoc reports of victories, but everyone knows that nothing of strategic significance has occurred.
