King Arthur sends the body of the Roman Emperor back to Rome. Whilst Arthur has been away fighting, Mordred has taken control of Arthur's lands and property.

Notes:
|
Two incomplete manuscripts of the 'Brut Chronicle', the first on vellum, the second on paper, put together in or before 1749 to make a nearly complete Brut to 1415 (Ker). The manuscript supplies additional detail to the texts published by Caxton and F.W.D. Brie.
