FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 181
RICHARD OF HEXHAM, DE GESTIS REGIS STBPHANI, IN
CHRONICLES OF STEPHEN, ETC., VOL. Ill, PP. 152-153. l
Now that wicked army was composed of Normans, Germans,
English, of Northumbrians and Cumbrians, of [men
of] Teviotdale and Lothian, of Picts (who are commonly
called Galwegians,) and of Scots ; and none might know
their number. For wherever the district had wealth an
endless number joined themselves to the above-named, without
any command, from love of plunder or for the opportunity
of revenge, or from the mere desire to do harm.
So they scattered through the province, and spared none.;
and on this occasion wasted with steel and fire almost the
whole of Northumbria as far as the river Tyne, excepting
the towns and the sea-board district, which is on the eastern
side. But that they intended to have destroyed on their
return.
One part of that army also crossed the Tyne, and slew
innumerable folk in the desert places, and ravaged in the
same manner most part of the land of St. Cuthbert towards
the west.

JOHN OF WORCESTER, IN FL. OF W., VOL. II, p. 102.
Those who know say that an indescribable invasion was
made by many enemies of different nationalities into Northumbria
and through the neighbouring districts far and near,
for nearly six months.
Very many were taken captive, robbed, imprisoned,
tortured ; ecclesiastics were put to death for the possessions
of the church and scarce ; any can reckon the number of the
slain, either on our side or on theirs.
JOHN OF HEXHAM, IN S. OF D., VOL. II, P. 290.
They slew all the men, and bound together with cords
the maidens and widows, naked, in troops, and drove them
away into Scotland under the yoke of slavery. 2
Nevertheless the king restored to Robert, prior of Hexham,
in pledge of their liberty, as many as fell to him as his
share of the booty.
The Scots also broke into the sanctuaries of the Lord,
