The reflexive use in Brut wace 976 is not entirely clear. The verb may also be interpreted as belonging to recrier¹ (‘to beseech, cry for’), as indeed Keller sees it in his definition ‘redoubler de cris’ (p. 80). However, in this context the idea of an almost defeated army regrouping itself, i.e. ‘to recover control, strength’, is perhaps more plausible.
