Robert, entered Cumberland, and tarrying at Rose Castle three 
whole days, sent out parties to burn, destroy, and plunder on all 
sides. Inthe tenth year of Edward II., the Scots again entered 
Cumberland, and proceeding as far as Richmond, in Yorkshire, 
with all possible devastation, turned thence towards Furness in 
Lancashire, burning and destroying all the way they went. Here 
they were much pleased with finding large quantities of iron, which 
did not abound in Scotland. The chronicle adds, that in this 
year great plague and famine raged in both England and Scotland 
to a degree till then unheard of; and that the quarter of bread soon 
sold in the north for forty shillings. 
In 1322, Robert Bruce burned Rose Castle; and in 1345, 
during an incursion of a large Scottish army into Cumberland, 
Penrith was burnt, and many of the inhabitants carried into 
captivity. 
During a truce between the English and Scottish nations in 
1380, the Scots passing by Carlisle laid waste the Forest of Ingle- 
wood, where, says Dr. Todd, “they seized 4000 cattle.” In the 
reign of Henry VI., inroads, or forays—as they were termed—were 
numerous, and attended with increased destruction ; and so con- 
tinued to the reign of Henry VIII., by whom it was disforested. 
In 1229, Henry III. granted by charter the manor to Walter 
Malclerck, Lord Treasurer of England and Bishop of Carlisle, and 
to his successors there, with authority to make parks, and to possess 
the manor as a forest of their own, with all the privileges of a 
Royal Forest, forbidding all others to sport within its limits, under 
penalty of the payment of ten pounds. 
In 1374, Bishop Appleby’s Register says :—‘ Several unknown 
persons have broken into the Bishop’s park at Rose, and (with 
dogs and nets) have killed and carried off great numbers of his 
deer, and an injunction has been sent out to the neighbouring 
clergy, requiring them to denounce all such offenders.” 
In the year 1300, King Edward I. took up his abode at Rose. 
It is related in the chronicle of Lanercost, that “he hunted in the 
Forest of Inglewood, where he took two hundred bucks and does.” 
Edward also granted all the extra-parochial tithes of the Forest of
