Scotland, and then returned to England, because Robert Earl of 

 Gloucester and other great men had risen against him. At this 

 time David, King of Scotland, entered England with a large army. 

 But the Earl of Aumarell with the Northmen defeated him near 

 Allerton, through the preaching of Thurstan, Archbishop of 

 York, who reminded them of the powers of their ancestors, and 

 exhorted them to fight for their country. It is said that the 

 Scots were routed there on account of the noise made by pots 

 under ground. After this King Stephen entered Scotland the 

 same year and laid the country waste, until they were again recon- 

 ciled. In order to feel sure of King David's fidelity King 

 Stephen made David's son Henry, Earl of Northumberland, who 

 also married the Countess, the widow of William Earl of Warenne 

 and came into England with the King as a knight. Soon after 

 Henry, the son of the Empress, went to King David and was made 

 a knight by him at Carlisle. Henry Earl of Northumberland, 

 son of David, died soon after this, and in the following year David 

 died. Malcolm, the son of Henry, Earl of Northumberland, 

 reigned after him in Scotland. 



In the fourth year of the reign of Henry, the son of the 

 Empress, the King of Scotland, surrendered to him whatever he 

 held of his domain, that is to say, the city of Carlisle, the Castle 

 of Bamborough, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the town of Lan- 

 caster. Huntingdon alone was confirmed to him. Malcolm King 

 of Scotland, son of Henry, Earl of Northumberland, did homage 

 to Henry, son of the Empress, at Chester, in the same way as his 

 grandfather David had done (to Henry I.). At the same time King 

 Henry built the Castle of Werk. When Henry crossed the sea to 

 put down the rebellion which his son Geoffrey had excited, 

 Malcolm crossed with him, and at the siege of Toulouse he re- 

 ceived knighthood from King Henry's hands. When Malcolm 

 returned home six of his Earls of Scotland tried to attack him in 

 the city of St. John (Perth), because he was so firm an adherent 

 of the English. But they failed in their attempt. This Malcolm 

 waged war three times with a large army against the Gallowegians, 

 and at last compelled them to .submit to his dominion. Malcolm 

 gave his sister Margaret in marriage to Conan, Count of Little 

 Britain and Lord of Richemound, whose daughter Geoffrey the 

 son of Henrv II. had married. Malcolm gave his other sister
