En Césarée Maxime :
News from the continent that the Huns led by their king, Attila, invade Gaul for pillage and plunder, scouring the land of its wealth, slaughtering as they go. The commander in Gaul, Aetius, sends for help from all who could spare it, and Vortigern sends a contingent — all of them being Dissidents. The allied army meets the Huns at Catalaunian Fields (Chalons), where the Huns are defeated and driven from Gaul. Word comes back with the returning knights that the Prince of the Parisi died at Chalons.
In this same year, a son, named Cerdic, is born to Vortigern and Rowena.
