HEXHAM, VOL. I, p. 183.
David, king of the Scots, . . . gathered an army and
harried Northumbria with slaughter and fire.
But he conceded so much to the church of Hexham as
not only to suffer none to touch anything which pertained
to it, but also to decree that as many as could flee thither
and carry with them aught of their goods should rejoice in
his peace.
Hence it was that, when the most cruel nation of the
Galwegians raged with unheard-of brutality, and spared not
sex nor age, our countrymen who were with king [David]
were moved by compassion and sent many, rescued from
their hands, to Hexham, as to a sure defence of their safety.

When king Stephen had come to Oxford, in the first year
of his reign, at the end of Christmas, he heard a messenger
tell him "
: The king of Scots, pretending that he came to
thee to be a guest, has entered Carlisle and Newcastle, and
has guilefully taken them both."
And king Stephen answered him, "What he has guile-
fully taken I will retake victoriously."
The vigorous king therefore moved forward so great an
army against David, king of Scots, as none could remember
to have been in England before.
