När armén har samlats, över 5000 fotfolk och 200 riddare, har de två saxar-kungarna Okta och Eosa redan övertagit Eburacum - huvudstaden i Malahaut. När kung Uthurs armé är blott 20 miles ifrån staden, så råkar hela armén i ett bakhåll vid Pocklingtown. En helt galen strid utbryter och fotfolket är de första som lägger benen på ryggen. Riddarna omringas och måste slå sig ut. Greven Roderick som leder oss riddare från Salisbury blir villrådig och vi råkar in i den ena drabbningen efter den andra. När den saxiska armén lägger fokus på kung Uther låter greve Roderick riddarna släpa efter för att ge kungen tid (läs: han misslyckas med sitt Battle-slag). Detta medför att Sir Sionyn blir slagen av hästen och tagen tillfånga.
King Uther's army musters at Linden Pool. Yet again, Gorlois the Duke of Cornwall and his men are nowhere to be seen!
Two Saxons kings of the north, Octa of Nohaut (son of Hengest and brother of Aesc, King of Kent) and Eosa of Deira (son of Horsa and Hengest’s nephew), besiege ancient Eburacum, the great civitas of the Kingdom of Malahaut. However, when they hear that King Uther is approaching, they leave a force to blockade the garrison inside Eburacum, and march south to lay an ambush to King Uther’s army.
It is a large battle where King Uther's superior army was surprised by a Saxon ambush attacking the marching British columns from three sides! Chaos reigned.
Panic spread as the Saxons shred the British army into small chunks. Barons were shouting for the knights to rally to their banners. The rear of the Briton army and most of the foot soldiers were already routing southwards back to Logres.
Trumpets blew an order to retreat, and the knots of knights around the banners of their lieges try to break out from the mass of Saxons.
The desperate break-out attempts continued, while the Saxon noose tightened around the remains of the army.
The King and his guard finally managed to break free! Saxons tried to block Uther’s escape, which drew their attention away from the rest of the army.
The whole Briton army was now in flight. The Saxons, on foot, could not catch the still mounted knights, and instead mopped up the survivors, calling them to surrender, no doubt intending to enslave the captives.
The Saxon army looted the battlefield and then marched southwards just a couple of miles, before they encamped to celebrate their victory.
