General Summary
King Cerdic makes a claim for his father’s, Vortigern’s, title
of a High King, but attracts scant following amongst the
nobles of Logres, who still remember Vortigern’s tyranny.
The Supreme Collegium meets but, with only nine sur-
viving legates who argue incessantly about protocol and
precedence, cannot do anything about appointing a king.
Tribute was paid by almost everyone it turns out. Even
the dukes of Silchester and Lindsey paid. Duke Ulfius
allies with King Ælle.
King Idres is hiring mercenaries, so war is inevitable in
Cornwall. King Cerdic of Wessex is hiring mercenaries as
well. Finally, the three Cadlews are accepting volunteers
to fight King Pellinore’s de Gales family. King Idres invades
Tintagel successfully, and King Cerdic massacres the
population of the Isle of Wight, adding it to his possessions.
