Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Part of an Universal History, Vol. 41: From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time; Compiled Form Original Authors These, however, were but feeble barriers against the Scots, who bell besides, with small (hips, made frequent descents on South Britain. Again the provincial Britons transmitted to the Roman emperor the mod lamentable complaints of their situation; and Gallio, of Ravenna, was sent to their relief. This general advised them to resign to the Scots all the territory on the north of Adrian´s wall; and after giving them directions how to fortify it, the Romans took their final leave of the island. Three independent kings are mentioned as reigning at this time in Britain: viz. Fergus, king of the Scots; Durftus, king of the Picts, a people who inhabited the eastern and midland parts of Scotland; and Dioneth, a British prince. The two first of these are said to have fallen in battle, against the Romans, in 430, about five years before that people evacuated the island. Fergus left behind him three sons, Eugene, Dongard, and Constantius, who, being minors, were put under the guardianship of Graham, father-in-law to Fergus. This nobleman, retaining an implacable enmity to the Britons, brought into the field all the Scots who were capable of bearing arm, and the Britons were so much distrest, that they applied in the most earnest and pathetic manner to Ætius, the Roman general in Gaul, for assistance. He could give them no succour; but, by the famine which raged among their enemies as well as themselves, they obtained a short respite. In these expeditions, the Scots carried with them hooks and grappling-irons, with which they pulled the unhappy Britons from their walls, where they likewise made several breaches.
