Her Hengest ⁊ Æsc gefuhton wiþ Walas ⁊ genamon unarimedlico herereaf, ⁊ þa Walas flugon þa Englan swa þær fyr. Translation 473AD. This year Hengest and Esc fought with the Welsh, and took immense Booty. And the Welsh fled from the English like fire. What does this mean We have no details of this location, however there would be very few places near to Kent where there would have been a lot of Booty, therefore the most likely place would have to be London. Possible interpretation of the Chronicles London would be quite a valuable place to take, however there is no location recorded so this is just conjecture.
