FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 179
1
So king David set apart some to persevere with the siege,
and sent on William Fitz Duncan with the Scots into Northumbria.
And he came on the day of the conversion of St.
Paul 2 to the vill of Warden, which is adjacent to the lands
of Hexham, and encamped there with his forces.
HENRY OF HUNTINGDON, HISTORIA ANGLORUM, PP. 260-26 J. 3
Now the king of the Scots, because he had given an oath to
king Henry's daughter, acted through his followers execrably,
as if under the veil of sanctity. For they cleft open pregnant
4
women, and took out the unborn babe ; they tossed children
upon the spear-points, 5 6
and beheaded priests upon the altars :
they cut off the heads of crucifixes, and placed them upon
the trunks of the slain and ; placed again the heads of the
dead upon the crucifixes. 7 Thus wherever the Scots arrived,
all was full of horror and full of savagery. There was the
screaming of women, the wailing of old men ; groans of the
dying, despair of the living.
1 R. of H., u.s., 151 :
" Now the king saw that his labour there
was turned to naught, and that serious loss increased to him from day to
day ; and burning with great displeasure and wrath left the town at last and
hastened with his whole host to the devastation of Northumbria."

Ann. of Wav., in A.M., ii, 226. R.W., E.H.S. ed., ii, 221 ; M.P., Chr. Maj.,

The passage is copied imperfectly from H. of H. by B. of P.,.G.H.,II, i,
64, under the invasion of 1174.
Cf. A. of R., Eulogium Davidis, in Pinkerton, 445-446 :
"
After the
death of king Henry, when [David] led an army into England, that nation,
savage and most hostile to the English, raged beyond the manner of men, and
wrought cruel dooms upon the church and the priests, upon either sex and
every age. And all these things were done, although against his will, yea,
even against his command ; yet he might have refrained from leading them,
might, having had experience of them once, not have led them : again he
might perchance have restrained them more ; and we confess with tears that
he sinned. May others excuse him. . . . For he himself preferred to accuse
rather than to excuse himself. . . ."
4 Such an incident is referred to in A. of R.'s speech of Walter Espec,
" De S., in Chr. of Ste., etc., iii, 187. Cf. J. of H., u.s., 290 : They cut to
pieces pregnant women, and children."
5 "
A. of R., u.s., 187 : Little children tossed in the air and caught on
the points of spears have furnished a delightful spectacle for the Galwegians."
6 "
R. of H., in Chr. of Ste., etc., iii, 152 : And they dug up the altars,
and near them and upon them mangled priests and innocents."
7 "
R. of H., u.s., 152 : They say also that they dismembered the cruci-
fixes in the churches in the basest manner they could, to Christ's dishonour
.and their own confusion."
