PREFACE.

P EE FACE.

1 T H E present volume of the Exchequer Bolls includes a period of twenty-seven years, from March 1 3 7 8 - 9 to March 1 4 0 6 , that is from the middle of the reign of Robert n . to within a few days of the death of Robert i n . During t h a t time there were twenty-six audits, of which two took place at Aberdeen, four at Edinburgh, three at Stirling, and the remaining seventeen at Perth. Most of these embraced the period of a year, though on one occasion one term only, and on two others three terms were included. Of the rolls containing the accounts of the custu­ mars and bailies of the burghs, the only one amissing is t h a t audited in March 1 3 8 3 - 4 . The accounts of the Chamberlain are also nearly com­ plete, that audited in May 1 3 8 7 being wanting, and that of May 1 3 9 9 including only Scotland north of the Forth. Of rolls of sheriffs we have altogether but two, each embracing but a very few sheriffdoms; and there are two accounts of the

Clerk of Liveranee. One roll contained in the volume, t h a t of the earldom of Strathern when in the hands of Earl David, son of Eobert I T . , rendered before certain auditors at Dundee, is not, properly speaking, an Exchequer Eoll, b u t has most likely found its way into the same repository with the rest from having to be consulted after t h a t earldom fell into the hands of the Crown. Its details of the agricultural operations of the second half of the fourteenth century are of con­ siderable interest. Of the fifty-five rolls in this volume, twentyeight have been brought to light since the appear­ ance of the " Compota Camerariorum Scotise," and are now printed for t h e first time. Eight of these —Chamberlain's accounts of the time of Robert n . —having been only discovered in private custody after the rest had been printed, are relegated to -an appendix, the numbers t h a t are appended to them indicating their proper chronological places. I n order to reduce t h e present record t o reason­ able dimensions, it has been found necessary to abridge considerable portions of the btirgh rolls, an arrangement which is intended to be continued in t h e remaining volumes of this series. On mature consideration it has been thought best to present the abridged matter in English; - and it is further distinguished b y being in an Italic type and within brackets, all t h a t is not so printed being unabridged transcript. I t has been the

editor's study to make the curtailment merely verbal, and not to leave out one single item of information, however seemingly trivial, which eould possibly be extracted from the original. Much space is saved in the heading of each account by the omission of words of style, and the use of figures to express its date and duration. By a similar process the charge side of the accounts of the custumars is reduced to about a third of its original bulk ;* and the opening items of the discharge side, namely, the overexpenditure, if any, in the last account of the same burgh, the fee of fourpence in the pound to the custumars, and the penny on every sack of wool to the tronar, usually admit of like treatment. Still greater scope for curtailment has been found in the regularly recurring entries regarding annuities from the burgh fermes and customs, in which the same narrative is often repeated verbatim, or substantially so, for a long period of years. Such entries, given in full on 1

For example, the charge side of the account of the custumars of Aberdeen, which occupies little more than four lines on page 90, stands thus in the original:— lidem onerant se, in primis, de xxxixft., per arreragia ultimi compoti sui. Summa patet. Item, iidem onerant se de cccxij ft. xvjs. xS., provenientibus de custuma vigmti trium lastanun quatuor saccorum et quindecim petrarum lane, earcatarum in septem navibus ad portum de Aberden, per tempus hujus coinpoti. Et de

Et tie 1ft. xvjct., provenientibus de eustuma eetodeeim lastamm quin­ decim dacrarum et quinque coreorum, earcatorum in oeto navibus per tempus compoti.

their first occurrence, are afterwards abridged under reference to the page where t h e y first occur, though any additional matter, or a n y alteration, however slight, which it is possible to regard as more t h a n verbal, is considered to warrant the passage being given in its integrity. The frequent payments t h a t occur to the Chamberlain or his deputy, to the Clerk of Liverance, or by way of furnishings or for carriages t o t h e Clerk of the Wardrobe, are also often abridged; their usual form will be seen in the first burgh roll, which is transcribed in extenso; and it is generally to be understood that the pay­ ments to these officers are to account, and end in the original with the words " de quibus respon­ dent." By means of the curtailments described—and no others have been resorted t o — i t has been found possible to reduce the accounts of t h e custumars and bailies of the burghs to less than half of their original dimensions. The newly found rolls in the Appendix having already swelled this volume beyond its originally intended, bulk, i t has been found necessary to confine t h e remarks t h a t follow almost exclusively t o t h e bearing of the accounts on the general history of the time. They also contain valuable matter for t h e study of t h e statistical, economical, and social condition of Scotland, and of the history and genealogy of t h e leading Scottish families. I t is intended to advert to some of these subjects

in the Introduction to the next volume, which will contain the Exchequer accounts during the regency of the Albanys and the reign of James I . II. To give a true idea of what Scotland was in the chivalric age, Froissart's glowing narrative of the feats of arms of the Scottish knights of his time requires, undoubtedly, to be supplemented by materials taken from more prosaic sources. Most modern writers have dwelt more on the reverse of the picture, t h e feuds of the nobility, the prevalence of violence and robbery, and the desolation which the perpetual border warfare spread over large districts of the country. Scotland was, of course, behind many other countries in some of the appli­ ances of civilisation and luxuries of life; and the turbulence of her nobles and the weakness of her Crown had been, and continued to be, the sources of great evil. But the attentive student of our history from original materials cannot fail to per­ ceive that the backwardness of Scotland, by which we mean the Lowlands of Scotland only, in industry and civilisation has been much exaggerated, as has the poverty of the people; and it is nowhere recorded that the chivalry of Scotland showed to disadvantage beside their brother knights of Eng­ land and France, in respect of prowess, courtesy, or any of the varied knightly accomplishments that were so highly rated at the period to which these

remarks apply. The age, however, was one of strong contrasts; and its history, not in Scotland only, but also in England, France, and Spain, exhibits civilisation and savagery, courtesy and ferocity, in curious juxtaposition. Within a year before t h e t i m e when this volume begins, t h e death of Edward i n . of England, and t h e succession of his grandson at t h e age of eleven, had relieved Scotland from all immediate apprehen­ sions from English ambition. Robert n . , who, as Steward, had been Scotland's staunchest champion in her sorest need, would in mature years have gladly lived on amicable terms with bis southern neighbour; b u t his desire for peace was n o t shared by t h e feudal lords generally. The fact t h a t a large p a r t of t h e south of Scotland was under English rule had become a source of perpetual irritation. The border nobles, on very slight pro­ vocation, were ready to take t h e law into their own hands, and invade England with a force t h a t for the time was irresistible, reprisals following as a matter of course; and thus, notwithstanding t h e nominal existence of a truce from 1 3 6 9 to 1 3 8 3 , t h e actual condition of both countries during all these years was one of chronic p e t t y warfare. The year 1 3 7 8 was memorable as the beginning of the thirty-nine years schism, during which the conflicting claims t o obedience of two rival Popes perplexed and scandalised the Christian world. While England continued loyal to Urban vi.,

1

Scotland supported the anti-pope Clement v n . Among domestic events were the temporary recap­ ture of Berwick, and the burning by accident or lightning of the Cathedral of St Andrews. The rolls of 1381 and 1384 show us the Crown contri­ buting to some extent to the rebuilding of the church whose completion and consecration some seventy years before had been associated with the revival of national existence following on the vic­ tory of Bannockbum, 2

In 1 3 8 0 the infractions of the truce were more than usually flagrant. The Scots, led by William Earl of Douglas, carried their ravages into Cumber­ land and Westmoreland, attacking and burning the town of Penrith during the fair, and bringing away much valuable plunder. The English, retaliating by an inroad into Dumfriesshire, fell into an am­ bush, and sustained heavy losses in crossing the Solway. Nor were the guerilla hostilities confined to dry land. Two years previously, Andrew Mercer, scouring the English seas with an armed squadron, had been made prisoner by a London merchant, who was rewarded out of a parliamentary subsidy; and in 1380 we read of a Scottish ship with goods on board worth 7000 marks being cap­ tured by the people of Newcastle and Hull. The 1

I n 1403 and following years down to 1413, an annuity of £5 is paid to the Bishop and Cathedral of Aberdeen from the fermes of that town, for a chaplain to celebrate for the souls of Robert nr. and his anVOIi. III.

King, through the Earl of Northumberland, made an ineffectual effort to claim the ship and booty, which eventually became the property of one of the captors, and was carried off to Hull. I n conse­ quence of this and perhaps other like occurrences, we find the Crown in 1 3 8 0 expending ,£500 in pur­ chasing and victualling two ships, which in the course of the same year were ordered to sea, " contra piratas Anglie et p r e d o n e s ; " and there is a further entry in the accounts of that year of £ 2 6 , 13s. 4d., " p r o municione cujusdam navis contra pilatos." 1

An incident which might have been expected to bring about a better understanding with England was the visit of the Duke of Lancaster in 1 3 8 1 . A t the time when the Tyler insurrection broke out, J o h n of Gaunt had been sent to the Scottish' borders, t o take part in one of the courts held under the name of Days of the Marches, for the decision of international claims arising out of the breaches of the truce. His palace of the Savoy had been plundered in his absence by t h e insurgents; a powerful party had been formed against h i m ; and it had become desirable t h a t he should absent himself from England for a time. I n these circum­ stances he had a meeting with t h e Scottish heirapparent at Coldingham, at which he asked to be allowed to make a short sojourn in Scotland. His request was agreed t o ; and the chroniclers describe how the Earl of Douglas and Archibald Douglas, J

Lord of Galloway, with an honourable escort, brought him to Edinburgh, and how he resided at Holyrood as the guest of the nation, and after a prolonged stay was accompanied as far as Berwick on his way home by a convoy of more than 800 spearmen. An indenture was at the same time entered into between the Earl of Carrick and Duke of Lancaster for the better observance of the truce ; and it was agreed that the unpaid balance of the ransom money, amounting to 24,000 marks, should not be exigible till Candlemas 1 3 8 3 - 4 . I n con­ nection with this visit of John of Gaunt, a disburse­ ment appears in the Chamberlain's account of 1381 of the large sum of £ 5 9 7 , 14s. 9d. for the expenses of the Earl of Carrick " tempore tractatus habiti inter ipsum et ducem Lancastrie." 1

In the following year an outrage occurred par­ taking of the worst ferocity of the times, and made more remarkable from the conspicuous position and knightly reputation of the offender; we mean the slaughter by Sir James Lindsay of Crawford, of Sir John Lyon, the Chamberlain and King's son-in-law, at the Moss of Balhall. Lyon, who in 1370 held the post of Secretary to the King and Keeper of the Privy Seal, and in 1372 had the thanage of Glammis conferred on him, obtained soon after­ wards the hand of the King's daughter Johanna, 4

and in 1 3 7 7 was made High Chamberlain. Lindsay, whom Froissart describes model of chivalry, was t h e King's nephew, his mother having been half-sister of Eobert n . ; and he was sheriff of Lanark, a n d had not long before been Justiciary north of the Forth. Lyon owed his promotion in Robert's service t o Lindsay, who, it is said, had re­ commended him to t h e K i n g , sheltered him from disgrace, and brought about his marriage; and a real or fancied disposition in him to injure his benefactor in the eyes of the King, was t h e motive assigned for t h e act. "While Bower and t h e " Extracta e variis Cronicis Scocie" place t h e murder among the events of 1 3 8 2 , and Crawford among those of 1 3 8 3 , it is shown by the rolls to have occurred on t h e 4 t h of November 1 3 8 1 . 1

Though Lyon's death was a great grief to the King, the law was powerless to reach the author of 1

Page 407. " Q u i a cum dictus Jacobus a seriptore curie procuravit esse genem m regis et t e r n s ditari, relatione facta regi quod stuprata erat ejus fdia cum quodam presbytero quern extra patriam ire proeurahant, cum tamen impringnata fuit cum dicto Johanne, et postquam honorabatur in curia regine sibi data, ingratus erat suo promotori."—(Extracta e variis Cronicis Scocie, p. 194) The same story is repeated with more circumstance by Hume of Godseroffc (History of House of Douglas and Angus, p. 88). I n the Glammis charterehest the.ro is a letter of mission by Sober it., dated at Dundoiiald, 10th May 1878, to his be­ 5

loved son John Lyon, Chamberlain of Scotland, and Jean, the King's daughter, for any clandestine mar­ riage formerly made by them, seeing they had now solemnised it in the face of the Kirk and in presence of the King, with consent of his sons, the Earls of Carrick and Fife and the lord of Badenach.—(MS. note by late John Biddell.) Of the mode of Lyon's death, all t h a t is said in the " E x t r a c t a e variis Cronicis" is " decapitatur : " according to the Liber Pluscardensis (1. x. c. 5), "occisus est . . . male sub confidencia in lecto nudus."

It. Lindsay, no doubt, fell into temporary disgrace a t Court: but he remained unmolested in Scotland for more than a year, after which we find him obtaining a passport to visit England under the usual pretext of a pilgrimage ; and before long he is said to have been recalled and pardoned. His name does not again appear among the Exchequer auditors till the accession of Robert i n . ; but he continued to be sheriff of Lanark: we have his account in that capacity extending from March 1 3 8 4 - 5 to October 1 3 8 7 , at which date he was superseded by Sir William of Newbyggyng. 1

2

Lyon's successor as Chamberlain was the King's son, Robert Earl of Fife and Menteith, afterwards Duke of .Albany, who, being also during part of this and most of the succeeding reign Guardian of 1

Fcedera, IT. p. 159. OH edit. viL p. 316. Pages 161, 163, 687. A decree of Sir James Lindsay, Lord of Craw­ ford, " e t sui consilii" pronounced in 1387 regarding some lands in Aberdeenshire, and printed from the Fyvie charterchest in the " Collec­ tions for the Shires of Aberdeen and Banff," is referred to in the " Lives of the Lindsays" (vol. i. p. 73) as evidence, that if he had ever ceased to be Justiciary, he must have been reinvested with that office at its date. But are we not rather to infer from the expression quoted that the decree was pronounced by the Lords of Council, of whom he was prams, and whose jurisdiction was in those days practically co­ ordinate with that of the Justiciary? 3

There seems reason to believe that the Justiciary in 1387 was a man still less fitted for such a post than Lindsay, namely the King's son Alexander. In December 1389, Sir Alexander Stewart of Badenaeh was deprived of the office of Justiciary north of the F o r t h ; and the mention m the parli;i:nentary record of his frequent and repeated neglect of duty as the ground of his deposi­ tion is suggestive of his having exercised that office for some time. (Acts of the Parliaments of Scot­ land, i. p. 556). An expression in the Chamberlain's account of 1374, "tempore quo fuit justieiarius," seems to indicate that Lindsay was then no longer Justiciary (vol. ii. p. 457).

the Realm, or Lieutenant of the King, wielded a power that no Chamberlain had possessed before him. In his administration he had the assistance of two or more deputies, in whose hands the duties south of the Forth were generally divided from those to t h e north of t h a t r i v e r ; these deputies during the period of the present volume being Patrick of Lumley, Sir Walter of Tulach, Sir Adam and Sir J o h n Forrester, and, after the death of Tulach, DaA id Earl of Crawford. I t is significant of the importance which had come to attach to t h e office of Chamberlain, t h a t his deputy to the .north of the Forth was one of the most distinguished and powerful Earls in the Kingdom. Nor did Albany cease to be Chamberlain on the death of Robert i n . During t h e first year of his, regency he was Chamberlain as well as Governor, and when he relinquished the office, it was to confer it on one of his sons, who, as far as we can gather from the accounts, acted entirely under the direction and authority of his father. 7

III. I t was stated by Lord Hailes, on the strength of a receipt printed in t h e " Foedera," that the debt for the ransom-money of David n., which had long been so serious a burden to Scotland, was finally extinguished by the payment to England on De1

cember 1st, 1383, of 2 4 , 0 0 0 marks, the balance then due. Lord Hailes' assertion has remained uncontroverted by later historians. I t was, no doubt, difficult to understand how this.large sum was raised, but the gap in the Exchequer accounts allowed a large margin for conjecture. The missing accounts—those contained in the Appendix to this volume—have now been discovered; if they do not clear up the matter in the way that might have been expected, they at least afford some new material for forming an opinion about i t ; and an examination of them in conjunction with the other records of the period, has led the editor to the conclusion that the money in question never was paid. I t may be neeessary to recal that by the treaty of 1369, prolonging the truce for fourteen years, 5 6 , 0 0 0 marks was recognised as the sum still due to England, and it was agreed that it should be paid in yearly instalments of 4 0 0 0 marks at Candle­ mas, a term for which St John's Day was soon afterwards substituted. The accounts of the Chamberlain, or in 1377 that of John Mercer, temporarily acting as Chamberlain, show that these yearly payments were made with regularity down to 1377 inclusive, with the exception that in 1377 only 2 0 0 0 marks were paid in money, a counter­ claim against the English Government for the illegal imprisonment of Mercer, who had been 1

wrecked on the English coast, and the seizure of his merchandise, being set off against the remaining 2000. These payments, with the mention of t h e unpaid balance that accompanies each, are in exact correspondence with t h e acquittances entered in the " R o t u l i Scotia?," including t h a t dated 26th J u n e 1377, which is, like the rest, for the full sum of 4000 marks. I t is not, however, to be inferred from this t h a t the Scottish counterclaim was at once admitted. Four days before the date borne by t h e acquittance, which is headed in the record as " in antecessum scripta," Richard n . had succeeded to the t h r o n e ; and as the receipt was made out in the name of K i n g Edward, it had to be cancelled and withdrawn. This appears from a docquet printed in the " R o t u l i , " though unfortunately omitted by the compiler of the "Foedera." Most probably the acquittance referred to never was issued; for, even supposing Edward's death to have been unknown at Berwick when the 2 0 0 0 marks were paid, it would not be issued unless the King of England's Commissioner had instructions to admit the counterclaim. T h a t it was only after some delay t h a t Mercer's claim was admitted seems to follow from the date (14th February 1378-9) 1

After 1377, no further payments of ransommoney appear in the accounts of the Chamberlain. But in the " Rotuli," besides the receipt of 1378-9 above accounted for, there is on 1st December 1 3 8 3 an acquittance in full for 2 4 , 0 0 0 marks, de­ scribed as the accumulated arrears of six years; and it is this receipt which has hitherto been looked on as evidence that the debt to England for David's ransom was at last fully discharged. I t has been already seen that it is not of neces­ sity to be inferred from a voucher being entered on record t h a t it was actually issued ; and in the pre­ sent instance the record itself tells us that the acquittance that appears there was not issued, and therefore, by implication, that the debt was not paid. The misapprehension has arisen from the Commission to the Earl of Northumberland and others to receive the money, of date 1st December, and the acknowledgment of its payment of same date, having been printed in the " Foedera," with­ out transcribing a memorandum of the 16th of same month, to the effect that, in the event of the 1

Rotuli Seotise, ii. p. 13. That this entry refers to the instalment of 1377, and not to a later payment, appears from the sum paid being described in each case as in part of 28,000 marks then due. A letter requesting redress for Mercer had in November 1376 been addressed to Edward by the Earl of Douglas

(Pinkerton's History of Scotland, i. Appendix Mo. 1 ; National MSS. of Scotland, ii. No. 45), and the un­ willingness of the English Govern­ ment to set off Ms claim against the ransom-money was probably what had led to the attack made on Scar­ borough by Mercer's son in 1378.

24,000 marks not being paid, the acquittance and relative documents are to be returned to the King's Chancery " cancellandas et dampnandas," and a docquet at the close of the memorandum, narrating t h a t on the 2 8 t h J u l y 1 3 8 4 the documents in ques­ tion were delivered b y the Earl of Northumberland t o t h e King's Chancery, and there cancelled and destroyed. 1

B u t in the financial state of Scotland, as disclosed b y the now nearly complete series of Exchequer Rolls of t h a t time, i t seems impossible t h a t t h e revenue could, to meet any emergency, have been suddenly increased by 24,000 marks, i.e., £ 1 6 , 0 0 0 ; and still more so t h a t this should have been done without leaving a trace in t h e accounts of the Chamberlain, which are quite complete. The cus­ toms duties, whose scale had between 1 3 5 7 and 1 3 6 9 been quadrupled, and which, since the great dilapidation of the Crown lands in the first half of the fourteenth century, constituted t h e bulk of t h e revenue of t h e country, were the main source from which the payments h a d all along been made, t h e proceeds of t h e various contributions having been trifling in comparison. The burgh accounts enable us to trace how, during t h e reign of Robert n . , the gross receipts from the customs gradually fell off, a result no doubt of the heavy tariff, while they also came to be more and more encroached on year b y year by grants of annuity, remissions of duty, and 1

Rotuli Sootiee, ii. pp. 56, 57.

the expenses of the King's family and household. I t was with difficulty that the yearly payments to England were made previously to 1377 ; and after that date the nett revenue became utterly insuffi­ cient to allow £ 2 6 6 6 , 13s. 4d. to be set aside for them. How then could six times that sum have been raised in one year I I t seems, indeed, rather surprising that the Scots should have continued to pay t h e instalments of ransom-money so long as they did. David n. had long been dead, and most of his hostages were dead also. Repudiation might have involved war, but the idea of war with Eng­ land would not have been distasteful to the Scottish nobles. 1

1

The following rather perplexing sentence occurs in the Chamber­ lain's account for 1383: — " E t non se onerat compntans in hoe compoto de angmentacione pecunie provenientis de medietate custume per sexdeeim denarios, receptee supra valorem cujuslibet nobilis recepti ad medietatem custume, prout ordinatum fuit alias, causa solueionis redempcionis regis David, quia rex, regina, comes de Carrie, comes de Douglas, et filius ejus, et alii quidani domini de regno, in assignacionibus et solucionibus eis faetis ipsam augmentacionem pro majori parte recipiunt." (Page 664.) The burgh accounts of 1383 and the Parliamentary proceedings also being lost, it may perhaps be sur­ mised that these words allude to a grand effort made to clear off the debt, by doubling the then existing rate of customs for a year, and pro­ viding that half the gross receipts

should be applied to the ransom. But, granting for a moment that this could have been done without diminish­ ing the quantity of wool and hides exported, the sum raised would have been far below what was wanted, as the gross customs at that date rarely came up to £7000. In point of fact, such a raising of the tariff, already injuriously high, would have been a virtual prohibition of the export trade for the year to which it ap­ plied. No doubt in 1355 and the two following years the customs of the second half of the year had been set apart for the ransom ; but there is not the vestige of such an arrange­ ment at any time after 1357. Per­ haps what is meant is that the practice which began in 1355 of paying half of the custom in nobles was continued down to a later period; and that the profit accruing had been appropriated by the King, I Queen, and others.

W i t h the non-payment of t h e expected 24,000 marks a change came over t h e diplomatic phraseo­ logy of the English Government. Hitherto, though in the instructions delivered to the Wardens of the Marches Scotland had continued to be " dominium nostrum Scocie," and t h e subjects of t h e K i n g of Scotland his " homines " in contradistinction from the K i n g of England's " subditi," the language of feudal superiority had been everywhere else re­ linquished ; and not only since Richard had come to t h e throne, b u t in t h e later years of Edward's reign, the transactions between t h e Kings of E n g ­ land and Scotland were conducted as between equals. W h e n the first payment after Eobert's accession fell due, an acquittance for the ransommoney had been drawn u p , in whieh the K i n g of Scots was called " noble homme Robert, notre cher cousyn d'Bseoce ; ' but this style, whieh the Scots objected to, was changed in all the later receipts, inclusive of t h a t of December 1383, to " tres noble et puissant Prince Robert notre cher cosyn d'Escoce." On t h e 12th J a n u a r y 1 3 8 3 - 4 , how­ ever, we find t h e old claims directly revived; the English March Wardens are empowered to demand t h e unpaid ransom-money, and failing their ob­ taining it, to require t h e K i n g of Scots to do homage to Richard as his overlord; and should n

IV. As the truce drew to a close, we have, as might have been expected, indications that the fortresses of Scotland were being put in a state of defence. In Edinburgh Castle, which had been rebuilt since David's return from captivity, we find large dis­ bursements for arms and military appliances. We have new fees to an armourer and gunners ; and in addition to Duncan Wright, the ordinary car­ penter of the castle, one Dederic or Theodoric, pro­ bably a Fleming, is employed at a yearly fee of £ 2 0 to £ 2 5 for constructing military engines. One of these is particularly designated as his " great engine;" and for its completion, including three trials of its projectile power to the satisfaction of Adam Forrester,* he was paid £20. £ 4 were paid for an " instrumentum dictum gun." The de­ fences of Stirling Castle were strengthened by new walls and outworks. £ 4 6 , 13s. 4d. were paid for arms for twelve retainers there, " personis servie n t i b u s ; " and we have also fees to the gunner and keeper of arms for two thousand arrow-heads. 2

,£27 are expended on saltpetre, sulphur, and wine for the different fortresses of t h e kingdom. The rolls afford some aid towards reducing to a consistent and connected narrative the accounts, so different in detail, given by Froissart, "Walsinghame, and the Scottish chroniclers, of the events immediately following. The border nobles were, as might have been expected, holding themselves in readiness for an effort to recover b y force their possessions in English occupation. One of t h e conditions of the treaty of 1 3 6 9 had been t h a t half the rents of these lands were to be paid to them until the close of the truce ; b u t on t h e arrival of Candlemas 1 3 8 3 - 4 they were t o forfeit even this moiety. The heir apparent of the house of Douglas, husband of the King's daughter Isabel, was in right to an annuity from the lands of Ednam, of which during the truce he received one-half from the English, while the remaining part, in terms of a charter by the King, was regularly paid him by the Chamberlain. On the expiry of the truce, how ever, his right under the charter ceased, and there­ fore, unless the lands in question were recovered, he would forfeit both halves. 1

Annandale, which was once more in the possession of the Earl of March. This success was followed by the capture by the last-named Earl of the Eng­ lish Baron of Greystock, on his way to take com­ mand of Roxburgh Castle; and Wyntoun and Bower expatiate with satisfaction on the decoration of Dunbar Castle with the rich spoil taken at Benrig, and the magnificent style in whieh Greystock was feasted by his captor off his own gold and silver plate. 1

Meantime, on the 26th of January 1383-4, an eight months' truce had been arranged at Boulogne between France and England, in which it was stipulated that Scotland was to have the option of participating. The English Government, however, aggrieved at the non-payment of the ransom-money, and having perhaps had tidings of what had oc­ curred at Lochmaben and Benrig, resolved to strike a blow during the interval which would elapse before the arrival of the envoys despatched by Charles vi. to convey the news of the treaty to the King of Scots; they are indeed supposed to have done what they could to detain those envoys. But the conduct of the English expedition was entrusted to the Dixke of Lancaster, who, instead of carrying out in its spirit the commission entrusted to him, made it his study to do as little damage as he could to the country whose guest he had so lately been, and that notwithstanding that his 1

troops were subjected to great hardships and priva­ tions, and the crew of one of his victualling ships were put to the sword near Queensferry. Walsinghame emphatically blames his forbearance, and Wyntoun's account of the matter is that the town was ransomed by the people. Soon after Lan­ caster's departure the whole of Teviotdale was recovered by the Earl of Douglas, except the castles of Roxburgh and Jedburgh. 1

The French embassy consisted of Aymard de Marse, an experienced knight and counsellor, Pierre Fresnel, and a serjeant of arms called Champenay, who, according to Froissart, was Scotch b y birth, and chosen from his acquaintance with the country and language. Their safe conduct from the Eng­ lish King bore date 13th February 1 3 8 3 - 4 , b u t they seem not to have arrived in Scotland till at least t h e middle of April. They had a cordial reception from Robert, who still wished and hoped for peace. The accounts tell us of the envoys being presented with three horses at a cost of £ 2 8 , 13s. 4d. ; besides a gift to Champenay. 4

and esquires, who, thrown out of occupation in their own country, and hearing that times were more stirring in Scotland, put to sea, and landed at Montrose, to offer their aid to the Scots against their southern neighbour. They found the barons as ready as they could desire for a border raid, and the King's sons by no means as pacifically minded as their father. At a meeting held in St Giles' church hostilities were resolved on ; and Scots and French together advanced through the territories of the Earls of Northumberland and Nottingham, returning with a rich booty in prisoners and cattle. Froissart tells us t h a t Robert, in great consternation, sent a herald to the English Court to explain that the truce had been infringed against his will and without his knowledge, and to express his earnest desire to participate in its benefits; in corrobora­ tion of which we find a payment of £6 for the expenses of Lyon herald sent to London by the King, and a safe conduct to Lyon dated 5 t h June 1S84. A trace was agreed to, lasting however, like the truce with France, only till the 1st October. Either before or immediately after the time 1

If Froissart (I. ii. c. 148) tells us correctly that the French knights were entertained by James Earl of Douglas, who had recently succeeded his father, we must be right in placing this expedition after the recovery of Teviotdale, whieh pre­ ceded the first Earl's death (Wyn­ tonn, 1. ix. c. 5). But his making

fixed for the expiry of the armistice, t h e two English Earls whose domains had been invaded, burst into Scotland b y way of Berwick and Rox­ burgh, with a body of 2 0 0 0 lances and 6000 archers, devoting the whole country t o fire a n d sword as far as Edinburgh. This raid is unnoticed by the Scottish chroniclers, and Froissart makes i t precede t h e arrival of t h e French ambassadors. But it can hardly be supposed that the ambassadors were so long on their way as to admit of a second English invasion after that of Passion "Week, and Walsinghame, whose chronology Is generally trust­ worthy, placed i t after Easter and the Salisbury Parliament, and makes it a retaliatory foray for t h e Scottish inroad into Northumberland. The burgh accounts audited in March 1 3 8 4 - 5 preserve a record of the havoc inflicted by i t ; t h e town and mills of Haddington reduced t o ashes and t h e tron de­ molished ; the tron of Edinburgh destroyed: * and we must suppose the invaders to have retired b y a more westerly route, as we find the fermes of Dum­ fries not let, owing to the town having been burned and laid waste by the English. I n t h e autumn of the same year Berwick again came into possession of the Scots, but was soon afterwards recaptured b y t h e Earl of Northumberland.

the despatch of Cardinal Wardlaw and the Chan­ cellor (John of Peebles, Bishop of Dunkeld) by the King and Council on an embassy to France, at a cost of £300/ besides £20 afterwards paid to Peebles. They were probably charged to advise with the French King on another expedition into England at the expiry of the truce, which had been prolonged to the 1st of May in the following year. This enterprise was planned in secret during the winter; and in the beginning of the summer of 1385, the French Admiral De Vienne arrived in Scotland with a body of 2000 knights, esquires, and men-at-arms, as well as 1400 suits of armour for the Scottish knights, and large sums to be distri­ buted among the leading Scottish nobles. The bad success of this expedition, and the disappointment and disgust of the French knights at the poverty of their accommodation and the nature of the forays in which they had to take part, are well known, as is t h e retaliation inflicted by Richard I I . , who led an irresistible army through Lothian, burning and pillaging the churches and monasteries in his way, as also the town of Edinburgh, including t h e church of St Giles, the Abbey of Holyrood alone being spared. Regarding Vienne's expedition we have it recorded that a sum of 250 marks, or £166, 13s. 4d., was paid to t h e French visitors " a d subsidium eorum de dono regis." * From the burgh rolls we 2

Of the prominent events of the following years, including the foray into England ending in t h e defeat of Hotspur and death of the Earl of Douglas, we learn little from the rolls. At the audit follow­ ing Otterburn, a payment " quondam domino Jacobo comitl de Douglas," almost immediately suc­ ceeded by one " quondam Leoni regi haraldorum," seems to suggest that t h a t officer (whose mission to London has been adverted to, and the first to whom the designation " rex haraldorum " is known to have been applied) was also among the slain at t h a t chivalrie field. In the course of the border warfare of the summer of 1388, the town and mill of Peebles had been burned, and for the four following years they remained unlet.* We have a reminder of t h e disordered state of the Highlands in the account of the bailies of Inverness, rendered in February 1388-9, and covering a period 3

of six years, in whieh a year's fermes are remitted " eonsideratis dampnis et gravaminibus que perpessi sunt per diversas discordias motas in patria." In the Parliament of 1384, the Earl of Carrick had, on the plea of the age and increasing infirmity of the King, been invested with authority to superintend in person the enforcement of the l a w ; and in April of the following year he was ordered, in the exercise of this authority, to repair to the northern districts, where bands of malefactors and " katherans" were ravaging the country, burning, plundering, and murdering wherever they went. The Earl is enjoined to -assemble the best and wisest of the nobles and clergy, and, aided by their advice, to inflict condign punishment on these dis­ turbers of the peace. 3

But the fact was, that those who ought to have been the vindicators of the law were themselves the leaders of the malefactors and katherans, the most prominent of them being the King's son, Alexander, who was Justiciary. The Estates soon afterwards found it necessary to remove the lord of Badenach from that p o s t ; and the same Council at which this was effected superseded the Earl of Carrick from the functions lately committed to him, for whieh his bodily weakness was found to unfit him, and his more active and ambitious brother, the Earl of Fife —already Chamberlain and Keeper of Stirling 1

Castle—was in addition made Guardian of the Bealm, an additional thousand marks being as­ signed him, or at least paid on the plea that they were assigned him, by the King. One of the latest acts of the reign of Bobert u . was the conclusion of an armistice. England, wearied of her French wars, and weakened b y internal dissensions, made overtures of peace t o France ; b u t the French would not hear even of a truce unless Spain and Scotland were to have t h e benefit of it. This decision was no doubt come to after a full consultation with the Scottish ambas­ sadors who, the rolls inform us, were then in Paris, namely, the Chancellor, Bobert Grant, a n d John of Bamorgny. Eventually, on the 18th of June 1389, a three years' truce was concluded between England, France, and their allies ; two French knights were sent to England to take Bichard's o a t h ; and having done so, they proceeded with Dagworth and the other English ambassadors t o Scotland, were pre­ sented at the Court, then being held at Dunferm­ line, where, according to Bower, they were cordially received and liberally treated ; and after t h e y had harangued long and eloquently on the blessings of peace, the King gracefully conceded all t h a t they desired.

of the sum represented by it not having been paid. The negotiations, however, had been brought to an at least outwardly satisfactory close when Robert retired to his castle of Dundonald, and died, after a short illness, at the age of eighty-four. He was interred at Scone ; and the rolls corroborate Wyntoun's statement that the funeral was a costly one. Three payments occur for the King's funeral amounting together to £682, 15s.

The first Stewart King seems, after his accession to the throne, to have delighted in the retirement of his more distant castles, more especially Rothesay, where he had resided as Steward. Payments con­ tinually occur for wine and provisions of all kinds sent to the " castle of Bute." Excepting, however, a small payment in 1 3 8 1 to Hugh the plumber, we have in the existing rolls of this reign or the succeeding one, no entries regarding the extensive building operations which are supposed to have gone on at Rothesay Castle in the times of Robert I I . and i n . They were perhaps defrayed out of the revenues of Bute, of which we have no accounts till a later date. The absence of all reference to them in the accounts of the Chamberlains of Bute under the Jameses, seems to corroborate the common belief that the more modern part of the castle was of this d a t e ; but if this be so, the arms over the gateway present an unusually e a d y example of the unicorn as a Royal supporter. One of the entries which seems to bring us into contact with the King's life at Rothesay, is a rent ef £26 paid yearly to Walter of Tulach, for the right to occupy his lands of Ormidale in Cowal, a plaee very readily accessible from Rothesay by water. 1

and 1 3 9 1 1 and in the last named year £468, 10s. 4d. was paid to Walter Trail, Bishop of St Andrews, Robert Grant, and a herald whose name or title was Douglas, on an embassy to France. Wyntoun tells us of a congress of French, Scots, and English, held at Amiens in 1391, at which Scotland was represented by the Bishop of St Andrews, and where the Duke of Orleans made a sharp and telling repartee to some Englishmen who had spoken slightingly of their northern neighbours. But the presence of these Scotsmen in France had the further object of drawing closer the ties existing between their countaymen and the French. A few days after Easter, the treaty of amity which had been concluded between Charles v. and the late King of Scots in 13 71, was ratified by Charles vi, as between him and Robert in., in presence of Petit and Grant. Its stipulations show with what jealousy the English continued to be regarded by the, contracting parties. In consideration of the many wrongs and injuries whieh both had sustained from England, France and Scotland bound them1

selves mutually to assist each other against all aggressions of that power. No treaty of peace, or even truce, was to be concluded between either party and England, in which the other was not included; and in case of a disputed succession to the Scottish Crown again occurring, France was to side with t h e competitor approved b y the prelates and nobles of Scotland. The Pope's ratification was to be obtained to the alliance, and neither party was at any time to seek to be freed from its conditions b y a papal absolution, or to take t h e benefit of any such absolution. 1

The temper of the English Government towards Scotland a t this period may be gathered from cer­ tain extravagant instructions of 1 3 9 1 existing in manuscript, b u t probably never communicated to the Seots, in which it was proposed t h a t the K i n g of England should formally demand the homage of the Scottish Estates, and the presence of Robert in the English Parliament, as also an annual payment of £ 2 0 0 0 as the rent of the lands of Edward Balliol, made over b y him to Edward i n .

But if there was a brief exemption at this time from war and border forays, and quiet prevailed in the central and southern districts, Scotland north of the Mouaith was in as turbulent a condition a§ before the enactment against katherans, the most prominent disturber of the peace being still the lord of Badenaeh, who had come to be no more or less than a robber chief. Having seized by violence some of the domains of the Bishop of Moray, and been in consequence excommunicated by that pre­ late, he brought a body of Highland robbers to Elgin, who set fire to the town and eathedral, with the houses of the canons and chaplain. There has been preserved in the Chartulary of Moray a very affecting expostulation to the King by the aged Bishop, who expatiates on the havoc and the de­ struction of holy things, and on his own helplessness in the hands of the enemies of the church. The gentle and pious King regarded these sacrilegious acts with due horror, and his ferocious brother was compelled to make what reparation he could. He did penance at the door and before the high altar of 8

A year or two later a large body of katherans, crossing t h e Mounth, descended on a plundering expedition into the lowland district of Angus, when a sharp fight ensued, with great loss t o t h e Lowlanders. Duncan Stewart, a natural son of Alex­ ander of Badenach (all his sons were illegitimate), is said b y Bower to have been the leader of the Highlanders on this occasion f and some of the chief disturbers of the peace were soon afterwards cap­ tured, including, it would seem, more than one son of the " Wolf of Badenach." This appears from an order given b y the Council which met a t Perth in J a n u a r y 1 3 9 8 - 9 , t h a t the sons of Sir Alexander Stewart who were prisoners a t Stirling should be kept in security, and not liberated without t h e authoof t h e fourteenth century, the Page 300.

rity of the Estates :* and about the same time the accounts for three successive years show consider­ able disbursements for the maintenance of certain prisoners in Stirling Castle, probably the same, though not mentioned by n a m e ; as also in 1402 for a certain Duncan Cambel, who had been in­ carcerated in the same fortress by the King's com­ mand for a half year and more. One of the characteristically daring acts of these days was the murder of Sir Malcolm Drummond, brother of the Queen, and husband of the Countess of Mar, by a band of Highland marauders, headed b y another son of the lord of Badenach, Alexander Stewart, followed by an attack on the Castle of Kildrummy, where the widowed Countess resided, made by the same Alexander, who, obtaining forcible possession of that lady, married her, and got with her her earldom and estates. I t need not surprise us to learn from the fragments that have been preserved of tn*e parliamentary proceedings of the few subse­ quent years, that the state of the outlying parts of Scotland was becoming more and more a subject of anxiety to the legislature. 2

But the more we try to realise the condition of the Highlands in the end of the fourteenth century, the stranger seems the story of the battle of the clans in the North Inch of Perth in 1396. In the form in which it has been transmitted to us, it- has 1

such an air of myth and unreality, that it is almost startling to find in t h e Exchequer accounts of the year in question this matter-of-fact e n t r y : — " F o r timber, iron, and making of lists for sixty persons fighting in the Inch of Perth, £ 1 4 , 2s. l i d . " The usage of chivalry by which a quarrel between two states or nations might be settled b y champions selected from each, would certainly have been neither recognised nor understood among t h e Highlanders. Trial b y combat had, however, in a previous age been a wide-spread and established mode of deciding questions of civil r i g h t ; and per­ haps we have here a late instance of this form of judicial process, surviving in the. Highlands after i t had become obsolete elsewhere, and resorted to to settle a dispute regarding chieftaincy. 1

During this interval of external quiet, combats of the lists between English and Scottish knights were much in vogue. The most famous of them was t h a t between Sir David Lindsay and Lord Wells on Lon­ don Bridge; and there was a tournament on a great scale held at Edinburgh, in which the most pro­ minent knight was the heir-apparent. Bower also tells us of a grand trial of arms, for which pre­ parations were made at Stirling, between a famous English knight, Sir Robert Morley, and Sir James Douglas of Strabroek; b u t in the meantime Morley engaged in three other minor combats, and being worsted in the last of them, he died of vexation 1

before the day when the great duel was to have come off. This event is set down as occurring in 1399 : but the untrustworthiness of Bower's chronology is shown by the mention of the same incident in the customs account of Stirling audited in April 1398. At a Council General held at Perth in April 1398, the title of Duke was first introduced into Scotland. The Earl of Carrick became Duke of Eothesay, and the Earl of Fife Duke of Albany; while at the same time the earldom of Crawford was bestowed on Sir David Lindsay, the King's brother-in-law, whose knightly prowess had acquired a European renown, and who had the previous year fallen heir to the large domains of Crawford by the death of his already mentioned cousin, Sir James Lindsay. x

The same Council imposed customs on the expor­ tation of salmon, salt meat, suet, butter, and horses, which were to be collected by Sir Patrick Graham, with the aid of custumars appointed by him in the different burghs and on the marches, the proceeds being paid by Graham to the Chamberlain. A small duty had some years previously been imposed on English cloth,—one of the very few exceptions to the general fact that there were no" import customs 3

in Scotland,—and it had been assigned by the King to John of Schaw. The Council revoked the assig­ nation, as having been made without consent of the Estates and against the common weal of the realm. This custom, like the rest, was placed under the management of G r a h a m ; b u t none of these new impositions added much to the revenue. The pay­ ments from these must have been made either directly to the King, or to some one to whom he had assigned them. Not a single payment from them appears in the accounts of t h e Chamberlain, and there is but one allusion to these new sources of revenue in the present volume. I t occurs in the account of the custumars of Edinburgh in 1400, where Sir Patrick of Graham is directed to p a y £ 5 0 from the petty customs and new impositions towards the expense of an embassy to England, provided these customs should amount to so much. 1

2

The causes of the difficulty found, notwithstand­ ing the heavy customs tariff, in making the revenue meet the ordinary expenses of government, have been already alluded to in general terms. The principal of them may be described as an effort made by the Crown'to strengthen its position b y buying the support of t h e feudal barons. During the period of the present volume, and onwards to the return of James i. from England, t h e credit side of the accounts both of custumars and of Chamber­ lain consists largely of pensions to t h e leading 1

people in the country, in many cases expressly granted in return for " retineneia," or support to be given to the King and the heir-apparent; at­ tempts, in fact, to bind the vassals of the Crown more closely than their ordinary obligations of allegiance already bound them. In the reign of Eobert I I . , under whom the system began, we have annuities of 200 marks out of the customs of Had­ dington to the eldest son of the Earl of Douglas, afterwards James Earl of Douglas and Mar, and of £250 out of the customs of Dunbar to the Earl of March, in each ease for service past and present to the King, and after his death to his eldest son, John Earl of Carrick, Prominent among similar annuitants in the succeeding reign were two persons whom popular belief branded with the murder of t h e heir-apparent, namely, the Duke of Albany and Sir John of Ramorgny, whose annuities of 200 marks and £20 respectively were held on the condition of serviee and retinue to the King and David Earl of Carrick. Other annuities bearing to be granted for the same consideration were those of Sir Murdach Stewart,* the Earl of Crawford, Sir William Lindsay of Byres, Sir William Stewart of Jedworth, Sir John Montgomery of Eglisham, Sir William of Danyelstoun, and the Earl of 1

The King's half-brother, Walter Stewart of Brechin, in after days Earl of Caithness and of Athole, and the chief contriver of the murder of James i., had an annuity of 50 marks " pro speciali retinencia cum rege in pace et in guerra." These were but a small number of the Crown annuitants ; and in the case of a great m a n y of them the pensions were destined to their heirs. While collectively these pensions greatly weakened the resources of the Crown, they were individually too small to have much weight with t h e greater nobles when their private interests came into colli2

sion with their loyalty. The revenue was also becoming more and more encroached on by remis­ sions of custom. The regularly recurring remis­ sions to the Duke of Albany in the customs accounts of Cupar, Stirling, and Perth, seem to show that the whole, or nearly the whole, wool and hides of the Earldoms of Fife and Menteith were exported duty free. 1

I t was not to be expected that the Duke of Rothesay, now growing up to manhood, would submit to see the chief position of power in the kingdom occupied by another member of the Royal house. In January 1398—9 Albany was superseded in his function of Guardian of the Realm by the heir-apparent, who was made King's Lieutenant, with as ample powers as had been entrusted to his uncle. The same Council in which this appoint­ ment was made ordered a general contribution for the expense of embassies to France and England. Of the contribution, or the payments from it, we have no account; but two payments of £50 each were made from the customs to Sir Adam Forster and Sir John of Ramorgny, sent to England on the embassy in question f as also a further payment of 2

Between 1384 and 1388 occur three remissions to James Earl of Douglas, amounting together to £266, 13s. 4d. (pp. 117, 160, 189). The Abbot of Melrose, who had been in the preceding reign allowed to export Ms wool at a duty of £1 in­ stead of £1, 6s. 8d, the sack, had the additional privilege conferred on

him by Robert nr. of an entire im­ munity from custom for fifty sacks (p. 284) 5 and the same King gave to the Abbot and Convent of Deer a grant of the entire custom of their wool (p. 631). Acts of the Parliaments of Scot­ land, i. p. 572. Ibid. p. 574. Page 486. a

100 nobles (£47, 10s.) b y the Chamberlain to Ramorgny. The revolution whieh in the autumn of 1399 deposed Richard of England, and placed on his throne a Prince with so questionable a title as Henry of Lancaster, could hardly have been un­ favourable for t h e cause of peace between the countries, had the desire for peace been general in Scotland. Rut the truce had hardly ended when the warlike borderers, rejoicing in its expiry, poured into England, and captured and destroyed t h e castle of Werk ; in the course of the reprisals taken b y England Sir Thomas of Umfraville defeated the Scots in a severely contested fight at Eulhope Law, and other excesses followed. Matters might perhaps still have been arranged, b u t for t h e defection of one of the two great Scottish border lords. 1

The Duke of Rothesay, though brave and highspirited, was sadly wanting in the prudence and stability of, character desirable in one entrusted with heavy and responsible duties. Betrothed to the daughter of the Earl of March, he precipitately entered into a marriage with a daughter of the Earl of Douglas, with whom a larger dowry was offered, incurring thereby t h e deadly enmity of the former Earl, who fled to the English Court and transferred his homage from his lawful Sovereign to Henry. The King of England received March with favour, 1

endowing him with lands and possessions; and his rival, the Earl of Douglas, seized his Scottish estates. Two English invasions of Scotland fol­ lowed, one by " Hotspur " and the Earl of March, the other by Henry in person, who laid siege to Edinburgh Castle, defended by the Duke of Bothesay, but had to withdraw his forces in consequence of the revolt of Owen Glendower. This last expe­ dition is said to have been distinguished by the absence of the indiscriminate pillage and burning that were the usual concomitants of the advance of an English a r m y ; and we have hardly an allu­ sion to it in the rolls, except a payment of 17s. for outlay on the tron of Edinburgh "tempore guerre." A n event of this time which We learn only from t h e Exchequer accounts is the siege of the castle of Beres, Sir John Wemyss of Beres and Kincaldrum, a knight of considerable mark, who was afterwards employed in negotiations for the release of James I., had, among other charters from Bobert n i . , one of date 16th October 1 3 9 2 , grant­ ing him leave to construct, in his lands of Beres, a castle with towers, of what height or strength he pleased. Wemyss, after building this fortress, must have swerved from his loyalty. The customs account of St Andrews audited in July 1 4 0 2 speaks of an expenditure of £ 8 0 on a wooden engine con­ structed there " ex certa causa ; the contemporary 1

As Wyntoun's History was under­ taken at the request of Sir J o h n Wemyss, we need not wonder t h a t he has left unnoticed this tem­ porary aberration of his p a t r o n ; and it is note­ worthy how often the Prior of Loehleven is fol­ lowed by Bower and succeeding writers in what he tells and leaves untold. 1

I n addition to the record t h a t has been left of the defence of Edinburgh and the siege of Eeres, evidence will be found t h a t the heir-apparent was not altogether inattentive to public business, in t h e frequent notices of his presence at March meetings, and of journeys made by him to northern parts on the affairs of the kingdom.

tumar of Montrose, and keeping him under durance till he paid the sum demanded of him, although the whole balance in that custumar's possession had been previously handed over to the Chamberlain. While his uncle whom he had supplanted, jealous of his power and popularity, seems to have represented his excesses in the strongest light to the King, Rothesay had raised up enemies to himself in Sir William Lindsay of Rossie, whose sister he had courted and slighted, and Ramorgny, once a minister of his pleasures, whose dishonourable counsels he had rejected with scorn; and also, it has been said, in his brother-in-law, now Earl of Douglas. On the plea of his irregularities'requiring re­ straint, the Duke of Rothesay was arrested on a warrant obtained from the King on the representa­ tions of Albany and Lindsay, and carried to the castle of Falkland; and it was soon afterwards given out that he had died there of dysentery. Rumour, however, hinted at his having been starved to d e a t h ; and so strongly did suspicion point at Albany and Douglas as his murderers, that the matter was made the subject of a Parliamen­ tary inquiry. The result was that while the Estates declared that the Prince had died of natural causes, " a b hac luce divina providencia et non aliter migrasse," Albany and Douglas, who acknowledged their share in his arrest, were, with all who had 1

assisted them, pardoned for any breach of the law which that act might have involved. Of the writers nearest the time, Wyntoun, a con­ temporary authority, pathetically laments the Prince's -untimely end, b u t gives not a hint of his having met with foul p l a y ; and at the same time extols Albany (who was no longer alive when the " Cronykil" was written) as the pattern of every quality t h a t is t o be admired in a ruler. Bower, who wrote at a time when he could with all safety have charged Albany with the crime, says t h a t the Prince died of dysentery, and seems to treat t h e rumour of starvation as an idle popular tale f while he, too, gives an enumeration of Albany's virtues quite inconsistent with a belief in his guilt. At t h e same time he elsewhere calls the Earl of Athole " auctor et instructor ac consiliarius prgecipuus ad perdendum ducem Rothsaie," words which it is only possible to reconcile with the above passages b y supposing no more to be meant than that Athole, for his own ends, had advised the resort to restraint which had so unfortunate a result. The compiler of t h e " Extracta e variis Cronicis Scocie" seems also to be a disbeliever in t h e story, Not so t h e writer of the " L i b e r Pluscardensis," who unequi1

vocally asserts that the Prince was starved to death, and that his death was determined on at a meeting held between Albany and Douglas at Cukoss. John Major hints rather than asserts that Rothesay was murdered: Boece not only speaks unhesitatingly of Albany's guilt, but em­ bellishes the story, according to his wont, with particulars unknown to any of his predecessors, telling how one woman supplied the Duke of Rothesay with oatmeal, and another gave him milk from her breasts; how the Prince was found in his hunger to have devoured the flesh of his lingers; and also how signal miracles were performed by his corpse at Lindores, which only ceased when his death had been avenged by James I . I t must be allowed that the belief so generally expressed in later times that the Duke of Rothesay was murdered rests rather on a general Impression regarding Albany's character, than on anything like direct evidence. As for the Earl of Douglas, said to be Albany's accomplice, Rothesay's incon1

Liber Pluseardensis, 1. s. e. 17, Maurice Buchanan, -whom MrW. F. Skene has shown to be the author of this Chronicle, was great-grandson of Albany, his mother having been daughter of Duke Murdoch. But he was also Treasurer to tbeDauphiness, daughter of James I., and his sym­ pathies are throughout with James. Major, 1. vi. c. 7. Boece, p. 338. I t is hardly necessary to allude to the use which our great romaneist made of some of these details in his " M r Maid 2

of Perth." But i t is rather surpris­ ing to find Boece's fables quite re­ cently reproduced—the miracles only excepted—-as unquestionable faet, in a work purporting to be history and hot romance, we mean Mr Hepworth Dixon's " Boyal Windsor," where it is further added that " to pacify the poor old King, Albany had hang up a heap of innocent folk as Eothesay's murderers," It is hard to under­ stand how this could be, inasmuch as Albany's defenee was that the Prinee died from natural causes.

tinent life might have led him to sanction a re­ straint meant to reform the Prince, b u t was surely an inadequate motive for his being a party to a crime, but for whieh his sister would in the course of time have been Queen of Scotland. W e can hardly expect the Exchequer accounts to throw much light on t h e secrets of the prison-chamber ; yet an entry occurs (beyond the limits of the pre­ sent yolume) in which those predisposed to hold Albany guilty will perhaps find a confirmation of their view. J o h n Wryeht is mentioned b y Bower as one of the persons into whose charge the Prince was committed at Falkland. The burgh accounts show " J o h n Wricht of F a l k l a n d " to have been custumar of Kinghorn from 1 4 1 1 to 1 4 2 0 , and per­ haps earlier; and in his account rendered in 1 4 1 2 a sum of £ 1 0 8 , 2s. 3 d . is allowed him from t h e customs by the Duke of Albany, then Regent, and charged to the Chamberlain. 1

of Albany, as Regent, remitted certain fines in­ curred by the bailies of Ayr, on condition of three trentals of masses to be said for the late King and the Duke of Rothesay. In the course of the Border warfare of 1404 the Scots sustained a severe defeat at Nesbit Moor, and another at Homildon Hill, where the English were led by Northumberland and the renegade Earl of March, and the prisoners taken included the Earl of Douglas and Albany's eldest son, and where Henry Percy, after his victory, stained his knightly repu­ tation by the execution of Sir William Stewart of Jedworth. The events that follow have, through Shakespeare's dramatisation, come to be among the most familiar in English history—-Henry's refusal to allow the captors to ransom their prisoners, and the consequent plot of the Percies against the monarch whom they had raised to the throne, which ended in the defeat and death of the younger Percy at Shrewsbury. When this revolt was in contemplation, the Duke of Albany collected a large force, nominally with the object of raising the siege of a little Border tower which Henry Percy had made a feint of attacking, b u t really to take part in Northumberland's insurrection. The ill success of the Percies led to the speedy disbanding of this a r m y ; and its solitary achievement is com­ memorated in the Chamberlain's Roll of 1406, in a payment of twenty shillings for wooden beams for 1

the siege of Innerwiek. The circumstance of this castle—erected on the coast of Haddingtonshire in a spot whieh has been likened t o Baise —being then in t h e hands of t h e English shows t h a t the conquests following on Homildon had been pushed as far as t h e Lothians. This English occupation, however, even of the Border districts, was so brief as to have left hardly a trace of its existence. 2

A second plot of the Earl of Northumberland having been frustrated, he and his youthful heir, " Hotspur's" son, escaped to Scotland, and had a cordial welcome in t h e castle of H e n r y Wardlaw, the newly-appointed Bishop of St Andrews, under whose charge the education of James Earl of Carrick, now heir to the throne, was being con­ ducted. Negotiations were in the meantime going on between the two countries for peace, and for t h e liberation from captivity of Sir Murdach Stewart and the Earl of Douglas. Sir David Fleming of Cumbernauld, a knight in the King's confidence, was employed in two successive embassies to Eng­ land for this purpose, for which two payments of £ 1 5 0 each occur in the accounts audited in 1 4 0 5 and 1 4 0 6 . On the later mission he received the oath of the K i n g of England t o observe a truce which had been concluded between the two countries. One of t h e suggestions made in t h e course of these negotiations was t h a t the Percies 3

should be surrendered as an equivalent for the two Scottish prisoners; and Northumberland, secretly warned by Fleming of what was in contemplation, succeeded in making his escape to Wales. Meantime the King, wishing to secure for his only remaining son the best training that Europe could afford, and perhaps also distrusting Albany, who had resumed the function of Governor, com­ mitted him to the charge of the Earl of Orkney to be taken to France. But t h e vessel in which they had embarked was captured at sea, and the Prince taken to London, where, in disregard of the then sub­ sisting truce, he was committed as a prisoner to the Tower. Fleming had t o answer with his life for the friendly hint given to Northumberland. H e was one of the knights chosen by* the King to escort James to his ship, and on his return he was way­ laid and slaughtered at Longhermandston by James Douglas, a son of the Earl whose liberation he had thwarted. This seems to have occurred on the 14th February 1405-6, and the King to have been captured on the 13th March following, though the dates given are discrepant and inconsistent. In an account audited 18th March 1405-6, Fleming is called " dominus quondam David Flemyng." The intelligenee of Ms son's disaster produced such an effect on the unhappy King that he sunk under his sorrow and died. Wyntoun tells us that 1

he died at Dundonald on Palm Sunday, being also the Festival of St Ambrose (i.e., the 4th April) 1406. Bower, on the other hand, and the " E x ­ tracta e variis Cronicis Scocie," make Rothesay t h e place of his death, and the date Palm Sunday 18th March (iv Kal. Aprilis) 1 4 0 5 . As to both year and day, "Wyntoun is allowed to be in the r i g h t ; and as he was Prior of Lochleven and engaged in noting down the events of the day in 1406, i t is difficult to. suppose that he was not right as to t h e place also. Yet in this particular all later writers have followed Bower, who was not a contemporary; and tradition points out t h e apartment in the ruined Castle of Rothesay where t h e broken-hearted King expired. 1

His remains were laid in front of the high altar in the Abbey Church of Paisley, but it is nowhere related that his funeral was a pompous or costly one. I n his lifetime he is said to have expressed very strongly his aversion to funeral parade, and his desire to be buried as simply as possible ; and it would seem as if his wishes in this matter had been attended to, for t h e Exchequer accounts will be searched in vain for any entry regarding his interment, unless we regard as such a payment of forty shillings made eighteen years later b y James I . to the Abbot of Paisley, " pro exequiis domini regis defuneti faciendis."* s
