Eldol attends the peace meeting where Hengist betrays Vortigern, and in turn, murders hundreds of Britons. He escapes the massacre, but not before killing seventy Saxons with a wooden pole. Eldol later captures Hengist during a battle with Aurelius. Eldol is given the honor of cutting off Hengist's head.
