The Irish King Gillomanius and his ally, Paschent, the third son of Vortigern the Tyrant, land a great army at Menevia in Cambria. They are unopposed by the king of Estregales. High King Aurelius Ambrosius has learned of the attack through spies and dispatched Prince Uther and Merlin the Magician to deal with the threat. Uther’s army meets the Irish at the seashore of Menevia where the Irish have beached their ships. The King of Estregales closes himself and his army into his castles, refusing to fight for either side.
It is a large battle. Uther had superior troops, but is outnumbered. The Irish were mainly foot soldiers.
The Irish fight back savagely, their numbers allowing them to absorb the knights’ charges without breaking.
A bright star appears which prompts Uther to order a last-ditch charge. The charge crushes the Irish forces, putting them to rout.
The Irish try to flee to their ships, but the Britons chase them and butcher them at the seaside.
It is a decisive victory for Prince Uther.
