Thus he lied, the odious man, to the monarch, for Uther was gone forth with his army, nor ever him saw Uther, nor thither him sent! And the king weened that it were sooth, and believed him enow.

"Arise, Lord King, for the enemy is come; even Ambrosius and Uther, upon whose throne thou sittest and full twenty thousand with them and they have sworn by a great oath, Lord, to slay thee, ere this year be done; and even now they march towards thee as the north wind of winter for bitterness and haste."
