FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 189
Then from his own land and every land from which he
could he caused to be collected an army more numerous
than any he had ever had before. 1
Eustace Fitz John also, 2 one of the king of England's
barons, who had a very strong castle called Alnwick in Northumbria,
and who had long secretly favoured the king of
Scotland, on this occasion with open treachery denied his
natural lord, to wit the king of England ; and he himself
with all his forces gave aid to the Scots against the realm of
England. And thus he took with him a great multitude of
soldiers, and set out with the king of Scotland to destroy
Yorkshire ; and intended to have given up his other very
strong castle, Malton by name, 3 ... to the king of Scotland
and his men.
So king David intrusted the siege of Wark to two of his
thanes, that is, of his barons, with their people, and set
out with the greatest part of his army
for the town which is
called Bamborough.
And there before the fortress he took a certain rampart,
and killed nearly a hundred men. 4
Then after devastating the crops around [Bamborough]
and around Mitford, 5 the town of William Bertram, and in
many other places throughout Northumbria, he crossed over
the river Tyne, and entering the land of St. Cuthbert awaited
the part of his army which had not yet come to him.

J. of H., u.s., 292 : In the same year and at the same time, namely
in the autumn, king David united his forces and directed his march to York-
shire, leaving two barons in the meanwhile with a host to besiege Wark."
J. of W., in Fl. of W., ii, 112 (after the battle of the Standard) :
" He
had an innumerable army, as well of French as of English, Scots and
Galwegians, and from all the islands which pertained to him and to his
dominion."
A. of R., De S., in Chr. of Ste., etc., iii, 181 :
" When therefore king
Stephen was occupied with his southern regions the king of Scots collected
an innumerable army, summoning not only those who lay under his empire
but also no small host of the islanders and the Orcadians. And advancing
with the greatest pride and ferocity he intended either to reduce to himself
the whole district of northern England, or to harry it with slaughter and
fire."

292.

of the Standard cf. R. of ; H., in Chr. of Ste., etc., iii, 165.

J. of H., in S. of D., ii, 292 : They set out therefore by Bamborough.
And the youths of that place rashly ventured from the protection of a rampart
which they had driven out in front of the fortress, and molested the
Scots with taunts as they passed by. Aroused to anger, the Scots at once
and very quickly burst
applied themselves to the destruction of the wall ;
in, and slew as many as they caught."
