When we came to ask Gerent if Howel might take him to Dyfed, we found no difficulty at all, which surprised me not a little.

Gerent will either have to bow to the storm and fight, or else he will get the upper hand and quiet things again.

So there was pillage and raiding across the Parrett, and at last Ina had sent messages to Gerent concerning it.

I could not stay here long, nor could Howel, and it was certain that Gerent could not well guard Owen up to this time.

Not until Gerent learned how few we were here would he dare to divide his forces.
