In the morning, the plain was covered with green smoke, and the heat was already curling, and the Earl of Benicia looked across the Norman camp from the English, and the enemy's tents were scattered like blank clouds. By this time, the Allied generals were in their respective positions, and the rightmost wing of their camp was backed by the ruins of the Roman city, with a house next to the ruins of the Roman theater, and on the other wing were low fortifications called beech embankments, which had belonged to the ancient Britons. Here the Scots lined up, their flanks loosely guarded by broken beech embankments, and on the hill connected to the centre of St Albans there was a monastery built by the King of Austria, and on a hill beside it were lined with the army of Glamorgan and the Welsh longbowmen commanded by the Earl of Moca. Prince Edgar and the Count of Benicia each led all the infantry of Northumbria on the right flank, and their front was obscured by a low cliff. Edgar knew that the enemy must be watching his own army from the other side.

From the direction of the Normans, the enemy deployed against the town on the opposite side looked a little strange, with the bright armor shining like stars on one side, and the dense barbarians on the other, and the lion pattern on the banner of the Supreme King of Alba could be faintly recognized. There was a hint of contempt on the Earl of Iu when he saw the naked "Picts" - these spearmen from Galloway formed the first line of the Scottish army, many of them without a thread on their heads, with long knives hanging from their left hands and spears or javelins in their right hands.

Behind these warriors, the Scots arranged two more lines, the warriors from Cumbria, Locien and the Tiviot valley in the front, and the Scots of the king and the army of the Count of Morais at the rear, from Alba to the high king, all the nobles and soldiers dismounted and lined up, they were surrounded by tribal warriors from the islands and Ron.

The Norman knights looked at these poorly equipped enemies with contempt, and the elite warriors in bright armor even began to laugh loudly.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened, and as if enraged by the Normans' provocation, the Galloway warriors voluntarily broke away from their positions and began to attack the Normans' right flank with their spears raised, a rash action that made King Malcolm feel a pang of annoyance. The Gallowe, as is customary, let out three terrifying roars and then began to charge with their spears, with some soldiers expertly attacking the opposite side with javelins and many stabbing the enemy with their spears. Their offensive caught the Norman infantry somewhat by surprise and was immediately overwhelmed. However, the Norman dismounted knights immediately joined the counterattack, and their iron armor and shields rendered the Gallowean spears useless, and this attack gave the Norman infantry the courage to join the counterattack, so many Scottish warriors threw away their spears, drew their black knives, and tried to engage the enemy in close combat.

A rain of arrows shot in the direction of the Gallowe, who were poorly armored and even naked, suffered heavy losses at once, and the Galloweans, regardless of the casualties, rushed forward frantically and blindly, waving their weapons in vain.

King Malcolm felt a little uncomfortable, and he ordered Donald to come out with a second platoon of Cumbrian and Locien troops to support, but before Donald could strike, the exhausted Galloway had begun to crumble, and their great leader seemed to be seriously wounded and rescued, and the rest of the soldiers dispersed like a herd of scattered deer.

Edgar saw the situation on the left flank from afar, biting his lip, and a trace of sweat oozed from the bridge of his delicate nose, but he was still like an ancient hero, riding on his horse and standing still, and the war horse "Tofei" stood tall on all fours, gently shaking his mane. It had been agreed that the Scots would defend the left flank, but now that the Allies had disobeyed orders, the Scottish front immediately became extremely dangerous. Edgar stared at the other side, and the enemy horsemen on their horses still seemed to be motionless, unable to see where they wanted to attack next.

"Hell!" The Earl of Northampton suddenly cursed, and some of the English knights around him also stirred up, and Edgar coughed lightly to stop the trend.

The prince pondered it for a moment, and then gave an order to the Earl of Benicia: "Please lead the Northumbrian militia to the position south of the monastery for defense, and I will transfer all the Yorkist longbowmen to you, and be sure to hold it!" ”

Count Guspatrick seemed to exhale with satisfaction, and immediately began to prepare for the appointed position. The Northumbrian militia walked along the meadows outside the monastery around the back of the slope where the Welsh were and entered the forward position of the monastery connected to the Scots, and some Danish warriors even unfurled a banner of the Eagle of Skagerrak. This reinforcement slightly stabilized the morale of the Welsh army, and at this time, the Norman army on the opposite side moved!

The attack began on the right flank and in the center of the entire Norman army, with the Count of Moka looking out on the high hills, with only infantry and archers in the ranks of the enemy, and the cavalry completely concentrated on the left flank with flat terrain. In the direction of the Scots, the broken embankment hampered the Norman infantry, and some archers began to rain arrows over the Scots' positions.

In this shattered terrain, the left flank of the coalition army came into contact with the enemy, and a bloody battle broke out, and Prince Donald, dressed in Gaelic robes, led the English in Cumbria and Losian to resist with fortifications, their armor and shields were not as strong as the enemy's, and their weapons were not as sharp as those of the dismounted knights, but under the infection of Prince Donald's own entry, all the soldiers rushed to any enemy who came close. At this time, the armies of the High King of Alba and the Count of Molay also joined the defense, and the Normans, who had crossed the embankment and ravine, were advancing while infiltrating the right flank embankment under the cover of a rain of arrows, trying to encircle the enemy.

In the center of the battlefield, a traditional shield wall battle took place, the Count of Benicia wielded a Danish axe, slashing the enemy's flesh and blood, when a Norman soldier approached, the Count hooked the opponent's kite-shaped shield with the sharp angle under the blade of the battle axe in his hand, and after the sharp hook was violently hooked, he used a sharp horn at the front end of the sharp horn to stab and hit the opponent's throat directly, the enemy's throat was shattered, and he was out of breath.

Other English guards used long-handled Danish axes to constantly drag enemies out of the shield walls, and then slashed hard. These unrivaled warriors crippled the Norman infantry line in front of them and tried to break through these gaps, at which point the Norman dismounted knights played a key role, drawing their swords and fighting while constantly directing their soldiers to plug the gaps. During the melee, a Norman nobleman, Hug de Grandmesnier, was impaled in the abdomen by the spear of Seinliofrick from Donbar, and he approached, allowing the shaft of the spear to pierce his body, and then plunged his sword into the mouth of the enemy, killing both of them.

King William watched his soldiers wield their blades and fight their enemies bloodily, his face unchanged, but once again suppressed the Earl of Mortan's request to let the knights fight. The king stared at the white dragon flag of the English with the gaze of an eagle, and under that banner the knights of Northumbria, fully dressed and brightly armoured, remained as motionless as marble statues.
