But I saw Heregar's horse rear and fall, and the banner went down, and I thought him slain in that attack. Presently they let us go. We won ever to better ground, and they had to fight uphill; and then we gained the fort, and there they durst not come. Then rode towards me a man in silver armour that was dinted and hacked shieldless, and with a notched sword in his hand. It was Heregar.
So with walled towns and hill forts the corners of Heregar's land were kept; and with sea and marsh and hill the sides were strong, and we thought to find Alfred the king here before us. But he was not; and next day we rode on to Taunton to seek him there, for that was the strongest fortress in that part of the west. And again he was not to be heard of.
So we struck off the road into by-lanes that Heregar knew, resting at lonely houses as we went on. And when we came to Glastonbury at last, the king was not there, nor did any know of his fate. Then we rode, with the Danes swarming everywhere, through the Sedgemoor wastes to Bridgwater, and found rest at Cannington, Heregar's great house not far off. Cuthberht.
