[All]: Cf. DGB 112 (Reeve and Wright 2007, 147.56-7; cf. Wright 1988, 103, prophecy 5): Exin in proprios mores reuertetur rubeus draco et in se ipsum saeuire laborabit ‘Then the red dragon will return to its old ways and strive to tear at itself’ (Reeve and Wright 2007, 146). Gunnlaugr elaborates on the cryptic allusion to internecine conflict in Geoffrey’s text and rationalises the allegory, on the lines seen in DGB XI (J. S. Eysteinsson 1953-7, 101-2; for text see Reeve and Wright 2007, 276-7) and Bede HE I, 22 (Colgrave and Mynors 1969, 66-9). According to Geoffrey in DGB XI, Cadualadrus (Cadwallader, referred to by Bede as Ciedwalla) succeeds Caduallo as king but falls sick, whereupon the Britons fight among themselves and suffer famine and pestilence.
