Red Lyon rampant in a golden field. There was in Ireland a monument of Marble fashioned like a Throne, which Simon Brecke a companion to Hiberus and his brethren found in the journey, & because he deemed trie finding thereof to be ominous to some Kingdome, he brought it along with him, and layde it up in the country for a Iewell. This marble Fergusius obtained towards the prospering of his voyage, and in Scotland he left it, which they used many yeares after in Coronation of their King at Scona. But Fergusius though he be scored in the row of Kings, for one, and the first, yet he held himselfe there obscurely, sundry times beat backe into Ireland, where he was finallie drowned by misfortune within the Creeke of Knockfergus. That Fergusius encountred with Coilus the Brittaine and slew him, as write th the Scotts, it is impossible except they mistake the name of Coilus for Callus, with whom indeede the age of Fergusius might well meete, and the rather for that in the first yeare of his raigne, the Picts entred, and then Fergusius immediately after them, 330. yeares ere Christ was borne. Now Coilus raigned in the yeare of our Lord, 124. about which time befell the second arrivall of the Picts in Brittaine, so it seemeth they mistake by a slight error, Coilus for Calius, and the second arrivall of the Picts, for the former. This confusion of Histories is learnedly noted by Cooper in his generall collection of Chronicles.
