At Bramber they survived a second meeting with Cromwellians, three or four soldiers of Col.

Herbert Morley of Glynde suddenly appearing, but being satisfied merely to insult them.

At Beeding, George Gunter rode on by way of the lower road to Brighton, while the King and Lord Wilmot climbed the hill at Horton, crossing by way of White Lot to Southwick, where, according to one story, in a cottage at the west of the Green was a hiding-hole in which the King lay until Captain Nicholas Tattersall of Brighton was ready to embark him for Fecamp.

George Gunter's own story is, however, that the King rode direct to Brighton.
He reached Fecamp on October 16.

Two hours after Gunter left Brighton, "soldiers came thither to search for a tall black man, six feet four inches high"-- to wit, the Merry Monarch.
Such is the bare narrative of Charles' Sussex ride.
