En Césarée Maxime :
During this time, King Vortigern spares his own army, using the Saxons to defeat the Brigantes in their own land, and drive the Picts back to the north. The King of the Brigantes rides south and surrenders to Vortigern, swearing loyalty.
Vortigern tells Hengest to summon more Saxons from the continent, and many more arrive, including families and Hengest’s daughter, Rowena. Beautiful and charming, she swiftly becomes a favorite at Vortigern’s court, staying long after others leave. Vortigern settles a group of Saxons, led by Beorhtric, Hengest’s cousin, on the marshlands of Sorestan, which had been depopulated by pirate raids and the recent invasion. Cymric nobles notice this; some feel Vortigern is favoring his new subjects over his loyal ones and they join the Dissidents.
