In this, the second chapter in Brother Beddwhettur's account of the epic clash of arms, between the nobles of Alt Clut and the raiders of the Scotti lord, Donnchadh Lothmhor, we are transported upon the crest of a dramatic wave of events to the final climactic moments of this bloody and fearful encounter...
Thus the Summer of Scotti raiding came to a close, with their defeat to the Lord Cadwallon. The Knotty Dunfleece were returned to their owners and Donnchadh would spend the Winter brooding and planning further raids for the following Spring. Cadwallon's warband suffered 12 casualties in total, 6 Elite and 6 Levy, while the Scotti lost 7 Warriors, 2 Skirmishers, 2 Light Cavalry and all of their Noble Raider Cavalry. Shauhan the Shepherd would live to shepherd another day and Cadwallon would have to face the fury of King Iorwryth for leading the Levy into battle without his consent. Next year, however, the nobles of Alt Clut would be prepared to face the Scotti raiders with or without the authority of the King!
