Σελίδα 291 - My age renders my body of no use in battle, and my counsel is despised ; but I leave my two sons and the vassals of Douglas in the field : may old Angus's foreboding prove unfounded !" To decline the battle was now impossible ; and the Scottish nobles, with a very few exceptions, made up their minds to conquer or die with their sovereign.

It is from this cause that the sensations of sorrow and national lamentation occasioned by the defeat were peculiarly poignant and lasting; so that to this day few Scotsmen...
Σελίδα 106 - ... honourably and as of right appertaineth to a king. But I certainly do not believe that it was the old king ; but I think it was Maudelain, his chaplain, who, in face, size, height, and make, so exactly resembled him, that every one firmly thought it was good King Richard. And if it were he, morn and night I heartily make my prayer to the merciful and holy God that he will take his soul to heaven.
Σελίδα 148 - ... sale, or by alienation, into different hands from those by whom they were first given in lease to the tenant." Under the reign of James the First, we have already pointed out the request made by that monarch to the great feudal lords, that they would not summarily remove their tenantry from their...
