Grimbold, at the Fords, erected a shieldwall around his camp as hundreds of

Elfhelm. None came. At last then he determined to carry out if he
could the plan he had already made, if he should find himself in just such a
desperate position. He had at length recognised the wisdom of

the Fords rather than abandon them as Elfhelm suggested?
