I went with our chiefs to Exeter when we first came seeking a home, to promise tribute if we were left in peace in the place we had chosen.

Gerent was willing enough, but Morgan, who claims some sort of right over the Devon end of the kingdom, was against our biding at all, and there were words.

However, Gerent and we had our way, and so we thought to hear no more of the matter.

But the next thing was that Morgan gathered a force and tried to turn us out on his own account, and had the worst of the affair.

That angered Gerent, for he lost some good men outside our stockades.
