Both kings seemed to have died childless and war broke out over who would succeed them. Five different men claimed the kingship of Britain in this war and they continually attacked and massacred each other's men. It is not certain who these five kings were and if they were of the line of Brutus or some were usurpers. Order was not restored until Dunvallo Molmutius came to power. He was the king of Cornwall and was braver and more courageous than all the other kings. He defeated Pinner, the king of Loegria. In response, Rudaucus, king of Kambria, and Staterius, king of Albany, allied together and destroyed much of Dunvallo's land. The two sides met in battle and were stalemated. Dunvallo then took 600 of his men and himself and were clad in the armour of the dead enemies. They led a charge deep into enemy lines where they killed the two kings.
