¶tatem Scottorum
In the 945th year, King Edmund
laid waste the land of the Humbrians, and having brought it under his yoke, he entrusted
it to Máel Coluim, king of Scots.1
In the 1070th year, King Máel Coluim
laid waste England as far as Cleveland, and at that time, when he found them at
Wearmouth fleeing the king of England, upon his return, so that they might enter
Scotland, he granted his peace to Edgar Ætheling and his sisters Margaret and Christina;
and afterwards he joined Margaret to himself in matrimony. ¶In the 1091st year, William the king of England and his brother Robert
were reconciled and William the king of England went with an army to meet King Máel
Coluim, at that time laying waste Northumbria, in the province of Lothian; and Earl
Robert made peace between them, on this condition, that the king of the Scots should be
obedient to King William, and that King William should give back to King Máel Coluim the
12 vills which he had held under his father, and that he should give 12 marks of gold
each year.
In the 1\1/38th year,
King David wretchedly laid waste the whole of Northumbria. King Stephen, upon arriving
at Roxburgh with a large army at the beginning of Lent, immediately turned back in
humiliation. ¶In the 1139th year, peace was made between the
two kings at the queen’s urging, and Northumbria was given to Henry, the son of King
David.
In the 1185th year, at Windsor, Henry the king
of England returned the county of Huntingdon to William the king of the Scots, with
honour and in full, just as he held it before the war. ¶In the 1190th year, William the king of the Scots gave to Richard the
king of the English 10 thousand marks of gold and silver for his liberties and dignities
and honours which he held before the war, in return for Berwick and Roxburgh, which King
Henry violently occupied for 16 years, and so, with God’s favour, removed the heavy yoke
of his domination and servitude from the kingdom of the Scots, with dignity and
honour.2 ¶In the 1209th year, John the king of England commanded ▬ William the
king of Scotland to meet him at Newcastle, and they met each other at Bolton. And so
William the king of the Scots went forth; and the king of England came as far as Norham
on Thursday 23 April, and was entertained both on the way there and on the way back at
Alnwick at his own expense. And the two kings held conference at the aforesaid castle,
but they broke off on 26 April, their negotiations having come to nothing.
¶Around
the feast of St James,3 the king of England and the king
of Scotland faced each other with their armies, and there they concluded a peace between
them.4 And so the king
of the Scots gave the king of the English his two daughters to be married, with 13
thousand pounds;5 and he received licence to
destroy the castle which had been built opposite Berwick,6 and this was done; and
for the maintenance of peace, he gave him as hostages the sons of the worthy men of his
land, and this was done against the wi¶shes of the Scots.
