In the same year t<strong>here</strong> was <strong>in</strong> England and <strong>in</strong> its terri-<br />

tories such an <strong>in</strong>undation of waters that bridges and mills<br />

and houses were carried away.<br />

And as the bridge of Berwick had been carried away,<br />

when by command of William k<strong>in</strong>g of .<br />

Scots earl Patrick,<br />

warden of Berwick, and at that time chief justiciar of the<br />

whole k<strong>in</strong>gdom of the Scots, wished to rebuild the bridge of<br />

Berwick, it was forbidden him on the part of Philip, bishop<br />

of Durham, to plant the bridge upon his land.<br />

But that bridge could not be made, unless it were planted<br />

upon the land of the bishop of Durham as it had been before.<br />

But at last the aforesaid bishop of Durham by counsel of<br />

William de Estuteville permitted the bridge to be made, and<br />

to be planted upon his land ; preserv<strong>in</strong>g the agreement which<br />

had been made between the k<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>Scotland</strong> and Hugh, bishop<br />

of Durham, his predecessor.<br />
