After the victory, King Uther marches his army to walls of Malahaut's chief city, Eburacum. The Centurion King is outside, with his army assembled, at ease, behind him. The two kings meet warmly, and Uther is invited into the city under the condition that his army does not pillage, plunder, or act in any way other than friends to Malahaut.
A couple days later, the two kings, plus a formidable and appropriate escort, ride out to a fortified city at the edge of Malahaut. They camp, hunt, and so on, and after a week and a half visitors arrive: Eurain, the king of Rheged; the Duke of Cambenet, who speaks on behalf of his liege King Uriens; and the King of Garloth, who have votes in the Supreme Collegium.
He displays Excalibur and recruits, or perhaps intimidates, them to his cause. King Uther then tours some of the smaller kingdoms (Roestoc, Amans, Cameliard, Cheshire, Powys, and Orofoise) and obtains promises of their Supreme Collegium votes.
This gives Uther fourteen votes from his vassals of Logres and eight votes from these foreign lords; twenty two out of 32 total. The Supreme Collegium is called for the autumn of the next year.
