abbot of the same house. Walter, bishop-elect of Glasgow, having sought
permission from the lord pope, was consecrated in his see at Glasgow on the day of the
commemoration of the souls of all the faithful.1 Adam, abbot of Alnwick, was deposed on 9
December.
In the 1209th year John, king of England, commanded William, king of
Scots, to hasten to him at Newcastle, and they met up together at Bolton. And so
William, king of Scots, went on; and the king of the English came as far as Norham on
Thursday 23 April, and both in returning and in passing William lodged at Alnwick at his
own expense. Both kings held a conference at the aforesaid castle;2 and they parted from each other on 26 April, their work unfinished.
Ralph, priest of Dunbar, received the charge of Eccles. Bishop John of ▬ Whithorn died; Walter, chamberlain of Alan son of Roland, succeeded him.
¶Master Ralph, archdeacon of St Andrews, died; Master Laurence, the official, succeeded
him. ¶Alan son of Roland married the daughter of Earl David, brother of the king of
Scotland. ¶Permission was granted by the lord pope for the divine office to be
celebrated in abbeys throughout England once a week, with lowered voice behind closed
doors, excluding seculars. ¶Around the feast of St James,3
the king of England and the king of Scotland met each other with their armies. There
peace was concluded between them; on condition, however, that the king of Scots gave his
two daughters to the king of the English to be married, with 13 thousand pounds, and
that he received permission to pull down the castle which had been erected opposite
Berwick—which, indeed, has been done. And for keeping peace, he [King William] gave him
[King John] as hostages the sons of important men of his country, against the wish of
the Scots. ¶Around the feast of St Martin,4 two
bishops, namely of Salisbury and of Rochester, came to Scotland, of whom one—namely
Salisbury—stayed at Kelso, the other at Roxburgh, each at his own expense. The venerable
king of Scotland granted them, by reason of honour, 80 chalders of wheat, 66 of barley,
and 80 of oats. Richard abbot of Coupar resigned and
Alexander succeeded him
In the 1210th year Richard,
bishop of Dunkeld, died in the month of May. And Thomas of Colville was captured and
placed in custody at Edinburgh because of the sedition which he had plotted against his
king and lord, as the disreputable proclaim by gossip; and he ransomed himself on the
feast of St Martin.5 ¶In the month of June John, king
of England, gathered together an army and subjugated Ireland. Returning then from
Ireland, he despoiled Cistercian monks in many ways. Then, carrying off from the Jews
nearly everything they possessed and driving them from their homes—gouging out the eyes
of some, destroying others by starvation—he cast all of them into such danger through
want that the Jews were begging from door to door for food from Christians in the name
of Jesus Christ; and they suffered hunger like dogs and
went around the cities, so that it was foretold to the letter what was to happen with
regard to them, according to the Spirit, as witnessed by the prophet who said:
