24 Sir Herbert Maxwell, Bart.
had ever been captured before, owing to its height and strength.
It was called Edwynesburgh of old after its founder, King Edwyn,
who, it is said, placed his seven daughters therein for safety.
Now when it had been laid down by the Scots to their king
[John] that he was neither to offer battle nor accept peace, but
that he should keep in hiding by constant
flight, King Edward,
on the other hand, strengthened his resolve that neither the
ocean should bear him [John] away, nor the hills and woods
hide him. Rather than that, having him surrounded by land
and sea at Kincardine, he compelled him to come to Montrose,
subject to King Edward's will and judgment. There he renounced
his kingly right, and, having experience of dishonest
counsellors, submitted to the
perpetual
loss both of his royal
honour in Scotland and of his paternal estates in England. For,
having been sent to London with his only son, he led an honourable,
but retired life, satisfied with the funds allotted to him from
the
king's exchequer. By divine ordinance these things were
accomplished on the morrow of the translation of S. Thomas the
Martyr, 1 in retribution for the crime of Hugh de Morville, from
whom that witless creature 2
[John] was descended; for
just
as
he [Morville] put S. Thomas to death, so thereafter there was
not one of his
posterity who was not deprived either of his
personal dignity or of his landed property.

Also on the same fell day the anniversary of my lord,
Alexander, 4
formerly King of Scotland, who descended from
the other daughter of the illustrious Earl David, besides
whom there proceeded from that sister no legitimate progeny
of the
royal seed to her King Edward, 5 who alone after William
the Bastard became monarch of the whole island. It is clear
that this succession to Scotland [came] not so much by right
of conquest or forfeiture as by nearness of blood to S. Margaret
whose daughter, Matilda, Henry the elder, King of England,
married [and became] heir, as is shown by what is written above.

Qui ex altera germanafilia deicendit David illustris comitis, ultra quern non processit
ex ilia sorore legitima soboles regalis seminis regi suo Edwardo. It seems impossible
to make sense from this passage. Probably something has dropped out
c or become garbled. The illustrious Earl David '
might either be King David I.,
who was Earl of Northumberland, and reigned in Cumbria and till
Strathclyde
he succeeded his brother, Alexander I., or King David's third son, who was Earl
of Huntingdon.
