Later we find the Britons at See also:war with the new-corners, now established in See also:Kent, and four battles are fought, in the last of which, according to the Hisloria Brittonum, the king's son Vortemir, their leading opponent, is slain. The Hisloria Brittonrun is our only authority for the See also:marriage of Vortigern with the daughter of Hengest before the war. It also records the See also:massacre of the See also:British nobles after the See also:death of Vortemir and the subsequent grant of See also:Essex and See also:Sussex to the invaders by Vortigern.
