  === Life Sketch ===
  REUTHER.
  AFTER this they proclaimed Reuther king, and crowned him with all due solemnitie, Reuther crowned king. Diuers lords offended. diuers of the nobles of the realme being highlie displeased therewith, for that they iudged it not onelie a great offense to haue the king thus traitorouslie murthered, but also saw hereby the ancient ordinance of choosing their king through consent of the people, to be broken by the wicked attempt of a priuat person, & an vnskilfull yoong man aduanced to the crowne, contrarie to the decree of an autentike law. Among other one Ferquhard the sonne in law Nouantia. A conspiracie of Ferquhard against Doualus. of Nothatus gouernor of Lorne and Cantir, called an assemblie of the people, and began to declare what enormities were like to insue through this tyrannicall attempt of Doualus. Doualus hearing whereabout Ferquhard went, hastilie came to the place where this assemblie was made, and there sleaing diuers of the chiefe, he did put Ferquhard also in great hazard of his life, who by flieng yet escaped his hands, and got him ouer into the Ile of Ila, whither Ferquhard fled into Ila. resorted vnto him diuers of the nobles (that fauored not Douale) with a great number of the commons.
  In the end, Ferquhard persuaded his companions to set all feare apart, and to returne with Ferquhard returneth into Scotland for to reuenge his iniurie. him into Scotland to take reuenge of Douale and his complices, being traitors and enimies to the realme and common-wealth, so that first ioining hands, which they did wet in mans bloud (according to the custome then vsed) they promised one to another to liue and die in the quarell, and after imbarking themselues in certeine vessels, they entred the sea, and passed ouer into Scotland, where gathering togither no small number of such as willinglie resorted vnto them to their aid, they encountred with Douale in battell, whose host twise in one daie was put to flight néere to the citie Beregonium with the losse of eight thousand men.
  
  The night parted the fraie, but in the next morning, Douale and his partakers through great indignation conceiued, for that they were so beaten backe by Ferquhard (hauing in all his host not past 10000 persons) fiercelie came foorth of their tents to giue battell afresh, and finding their enimies readie to receiue them, there was fought so cruell a battell betwixt them, that in the end either part being sore trauelled with slaughter and long fight, was glad to giue place to the other, not passing an eight hundred of all those that were present that daie in the field as then being left aliue. Vpon Douales part there was slaine Gethus king of Picts, whose daughter king Reuther had married, with a great number of his people: also Douale himselfe with diuers of the nobles of Scotland, beside gentlemen & cōmons Douale is slain Ferquhard is slaine. that tooke part with him. On the contrarie side there died also Ferquhard himselfe with diuers gouernors of tribes, beside the residue of the nobles, gentlemen & cōmons of Rosse, Cathenesse, Marne, Argile, Cantire, and Lorne, with them of the westerne Iles which were there with him.
  
  Reuther escaping with life from this bloudie encounter, in the night following departed Reuther the king fled. his waies with such of his people as were left aliue. Whereof his enimies being aduertised in the next morning, pursued after him with such diligence, that in the end they tooke him within a castell in Cathnesse whither he was fled for succor: he was pardoned of his Reuther pursued & taken. He is pardoned of his life. life, partlie in respect of his fathers merits, and partlie againe for that it was knowne how his tender youth was such as had not deserued death by any fact, otherwise than in that he had followed the counsell of malicious persons. By this cruell murther and huge slaughter thus committed betwixt these two nations of Scotishmen and Picts, both their forces were so greatlie inféebled, that they became an easie prey to their ancient and common enimies the Britains, who in such oportunitie of occasion thought not to sit still till the same might happilie be past and gone.
  
  First therefore with a mightie armie the Britains inuaded the Picts: the nobles of which nation perceiuing themselues not able to make resistance, fled with their wiues, their children, and the most part of their goods, ouer into the Iles of Orkenie, and there assembling togither, they created them a new king to haue the gouernance ouer them, who was also named Gethus, and brother to the other Gethus a little before mentioned. Héere also they Gethus king. Why Orkenie was called Pictland as some suppose, but the truth should séeme to be that they were so called bicause the Picts inhabited there before they set foot in Britaine. remained certeine yeares after, liuing in peaceable manner with the former inhabitants, whom they found there, wronging them by no iniurious dealing at all (if the Scotish historie be true.) Hereof moreouer as some suppose it came to passe, that these Ilands of Orkenie are named by diuers writers the ancient kingdome of the Picts.
  
  In the meane while the Britains seizing vpon such countries as these Picts had forsaken, that is to saie, the Mers, Louthian, and others, they left in diuers places where they thought expedient, garisons of men of war, to kéepe the same in due subiection: and after entred into the confines of the Scotish kingdome, burning & wasting all afore them, wherewith such Scots as yet remained aliue, being highlie mooued to indignation, came stoutlie into the field The Scots ouerthrowne. to defend their countrie, and incountring with their enimies néere to Kalender wood, they lost two thousand of their companie: the residue also being sore chased, fled into sundrie parties for safegard of their liues.
  
  This discomfiture put the Scotish nation into such feare and terror, that they vtterlie despaired of all recouerie, where contrariwise the Britains were so aduanced (in hope vtterlie to expell all aliens out of their Ile) that pursuing the victorie in most earnest wise, they forced Reuther and all the nobilitie of the Scotish nation that was yet left aliue, to flée for safegard of their liues into the castell of Beregonium, where they held themselues as in the surest hold. The Britains being certified of the repaire of their enimies to Beregonium, enuironed the castell with a strong and vehement siege, vntill that the Scots within were Scots besieged deuoure one another. constreined through want of vittels to eate each other, according as the lots fell by a common agréement made amongst them.
  
  But when it came to passe, that euen those that were reputed as heads and gouernors, and in whom consisted the hope of their whole defense, did now and then come to the shambles as well as other of lesse reputation, they thought it best to trie by issuing foorth, if any of their haps might be so good as to escape the danger present, whereas by tarieng still within the fortresse, they should but deuoure one another without any reuenge for losse of their liues had vpon their fierce and cruell enimies. Wherevpon by common consent there The Scots come foorth and fight. issueth foorth, first one Colane lord of Cantire with an hundred of his owne souldiors, and fiercelie skirmishing with the Britains, defended himselfe a good space right manfullie, though in the end both he and his whole band were borne downe and slaine with prease and multitude of his enimies that assailed him on each side. In the meane season, whilest he thus occupied the Britains in fight on one side, Reuther with the residue of his people Reuther escapeth. brake foorth by another waie, and escaping to the sea side, got ships and fled ouer into the westerne Iles, where he found a great number of other Scotishmen that were gotten thither, being compelled by Oenus king of the Britains to auoid foorth of the countries, which they before inhabited.
  
  Reuther remained not long in the Iles, but passed ouer into Ireland. The Britains not a Reuther passeth into Ireland. They inhabit the mounteins. little mooued for his escape with the other of the Scotish lords, reuenged their displeasure on such commons and other meane people as fell into their hands, so that such as might escape, got them into the mounteins, and liued there by roots, berries, & other wild fruits in summer, and in winter by such veneson and flesh of wild beasts as they killed in the wildernesse: and sometimes they came downe and made raises vpon the Britains that occupied their houses and lands, fetching great booties verie often from amongest them.
  
  This cruell warre lasted twelue yéeres, vntill in maner all such Scots and Picts as remained in Albion were brought vnder seruitude to the Britains. In which meane while, Gethus king of the Picts kept his siege roiall in Pomonia the chéefest Ile of the Orkenies. Reuther also begot of his wife a sonne named Thereus, and shortlie after being procured by letters and Reuther is sent for out of Ireland. messengers sent vnto him from the foresaid Gethus and such Scots as were yet remaining in Albion, he assembled a number of ships togither, and first with a chosen power of warriors sailed to the westerne Iles, where increasing his numbers, he passed ouer into Albion, landing on the west halfe of Rosse at Lough Bruum, and there comming on land, the first person that they met with (according to a custome vsed amongst them in those daies) they slue, A custome. and wetting the points of their weapons in his bloud, they first tasted thereof after their maner, then holding vp their weapons into the aire, they desired of the gods that they might reuenge the bloud of their elders with happie battell against the Britains their enimies. After this,
