Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. In the year of our Lord 1333, the seventh year of King Edward III, on the feast of Saint Margaret the Virgin1 [20 July 1333], a vast host gathered from all of Scotland, intending, if possible, to lift the siege [of Berwick]. Divided into three armies, they challenged the king's army to battle. A convention had been made between the opposing sides that if the besieged Scots received provisions from outside on that day, they would continue in their rebellion but if they were not aided with incoming supplies, then after the day had passed, the town and castle would be surrendered to the King of England. Therefore, four hundred armed men were sent forth, each carrying small loaves of bread, to circle around the English army from the flank and throw the bread within the walls, so that, at least by a ruse, the town might appear to be resupplied with food. But those ordered to restock the town in this way were slaughtered by the constant watchers of the siege and the rear guard of the English army, and were stripped of their bread. The English army was then divided with one part left to maintain the siege, and the other arranged in formations to confront the oncoming Scots. There the Scots learned that English nobility had begun to reserve their warhorses for chasing fleeing enemies, and, contrary to the ancient custom of their fathers, now fought on foot. At the start of the battle2 between the armies on Halidon Hill, a certain Scottish warrior, towering in stature and strength, like a second Goliath, stood between the lines, placing more trust in his great physical power than in God. He challenged the English one by one to single combat. He was called in the Scottish tongue 'Versor of the Bull', in English 'Turnebole'. Then Sir Robert de Venale, a knight from Norfolk, after kneeling and requesting the king's blessing, boldly attacked the giant, with sword and shield, who had been accompanied and aided by a large black mastiff. With a swift stroke of his sword, he cut through the dog's loins, cleaving its back. Thereupon, the dog's master attacked more fiercely, though recklessly, but the knight severed his left fist and then cut off his head.
Anno Domini millesimo MCCCXXXIIJ, et anno regis Edwardi tercii vii., siquidem in festo sancte virginis Margarete, de tota Scocia congregata maxima multitudo, obsidionem si potuisset remotura, in tres exercitus divisa, regis exercitum ad preliandum provocavit, convencione facta inter partes adversas quod, si Scoti obsessi potuissent illo die ab extra recipere victualia, in sua rebellione permanerent, si vero victualibus adventiciis non consolarentur, post diem transactum regi Anglie villa et castrum redderentur. Ordinantur proinde quadringenti armati cum parvis panibus eiis baiulatis, qui Anglorum exercitum a latere circuirent et panes quos habebant proicerent infra muros, ut saltim sofistice villa victualibus referta crederetur; set ordinati ad taliter villam restaurandum per continuos obsessores et illos de posteriori custodia exercitus fuerunt trucidati et a panibus eorum spoliati. Divisus est ab Anglicis suus exercitus, parte obsidioni continuande deputata, alia iterum in turmas divisa, ad obviandum Scotis supervenientibus preparata. Ibi didicit a Scotis Anglorum generositas dextrarios reservare venacioni fugiencium, et, contra antiquatum morem suorum patrum, pedes pugnare. In principio certaminis exercituum super Halidone Heol, obviorum quidam satelles magne stature et ut alter Golias, in magna virtute corporali maiorem quam in Deo habens confidenciam, medius inter exercitus consistens, singulos Anglicos ad monomachiam provocavit; qui ab effectu 'Tauri versor,' Anglice 'Turnebole,' vocabatur. E contra dominus Robertus de Venale miles quidam Northfolchiensis, petita genuflectendo regis benediccione, cum gladio et pelte gigantem aggressus, cuiusdam nigri molosi, qui adversarium comitabatur et ipsum iuvit, rapidissime gladio precidit lumbos a dorso dividendo. Acrius proinde set vecordius instetit occisi canis magister, cuius pugnum sinistrum et postea capud amputavit miles.
Note 1. The battle was fought on the eve of St. Margaret's day, viz. the 19th July. The Brute chronicle gives the array of the Scottish army in four 'battles'; the English array is described in Gesta Edwardi III: "In the same year, on the 19th of July [1333], the Monday before the feast of Saint Margaret the Virgin, which was the appointed day, the King of England went into the field to arrange his army. First, he established a unit of 500 men-at-arms positioned around the town [Berwick], along with archers and infantry, to prevent the besieged townspeople from making any sorties, so that they could not attack the English from the rear with a surprise assault. This unit was placed under the command of the bannerets Ralph Basset and Thomas de Furnival, the knights Simon Ward and John de Moulton, and also the mayor of the town of Newcastle. He then divided the rest of the army into three battles. The first he entrusted to his marshal and brother, John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall; to Henry de Beaumont, Earl of Buchan; and to Edward de Bohun, acting in place of the Earl of Hereford. David, Earl of Atholl, held the right wing of this division, towards the sea, while Gilbert de Umfraville, Earl of Angus, commanded the left. The second division was commanded by the King of England himself, with wings formed to right and left as above. The third division he assigned to Edward Balliol, King of Scotland, likewise with the wings arranged in the same fashion. Archers were assigned to each wing. And because the principal and provocative cause of the coming conflict was that two hundred knights, as previously stated, were to enter the town [of Berwick] that day, the king appointed an equal number of chosen knights to meet them in battle and to block their entry."
Edward's letter to the archbishop of York, announcing the victory, is printed in Gesta Edwardi III, 116: "Edward, by the grace of God, King of England, Lord of Ireland, and Duke of Aquitaine, to the venerable father in Christ, William, by the same grace Archbishop of York, Primate of England, greetings. Seated upon the throne of glory — He whose governance is never in error — visits His beloved in moments of need more abundantly than any reasoning creature can grasp or understand. The Lord of lords Himself, wondrously showing His mercy to us, though unworthy, has in these days utterly confounded the grievous rage and treacherous savagery of our enemies, the Scots. Recently gathering their strength, they made a hostile incursion into the northern parts of our kingdom, committing plundering, slaughter, arson, and other acts of cruelty as they were able — sparing neither order, age, nor sex. Finally, puffed up by the spirit of pride and their ancient malice, they drew up against us and our army near Berwick on the Monday just before the feast of Saint Margaret the Virgin, namely on the 19th day of July. Preparing themselves for battle, the Lord, in the power of His might, wondrously scattered them, delivering them into our hand with victorious aid. Trusting in Him who gives salvation to kings, and relying on our just cause, we defeated them on the field of battle — though not rejoicing in the destruction of men — without any great loss to our own, praise be to the Most High. Through the Lord's favour, we now hold the town and castle of Berwick, surrendered to us. For these things, we render humble and devout praise, as best we can, to the Giver of all gifts, and we implore His ineffable mercy that the sign He has shown us for good may bring forth the fruitful increase of peace — and that He may mercifully confirm the help He has begun. This we now announce to you for your consolation and for the public joy of the realm, so that you may contemplate the mighty works of God. And because, among the remedies for human need, we believe humble and constant prayer to God especially stirs His grace in abundance, we affectionately ask and request your paternity that you lift up devoted praises to our Savior for this heavenly victory granted to us, and that you cause your subjects to venerate Him with fitting solemn devotion. Encourage them with wholesome admonitions to earnestly commend us to divine mercy in their prayers, and commend yourself likewise — so that the governance committed to us May by God's good pleasure, be directed toward the defense of the Church, the honour and peace of the kingdom, the preservation and recovery of our royal rights, and the salvation of our own soul and those of our subjects, and that all may be strengthened in justice during our time. Given under our hand at Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the 22nd day of July, in the seventh year of our reign."
The duplicate letter to the archbishop of Canterbury appears in the Fœdera, ii. 866.
Note 2. Stow, Annales, 359: "Whereupon at length the two armies appoynted to fight, and setting out upon Halidowne hill, there commeth forth of the Scots campe a certaine stout champion of great stature, who, for a fact by him done, was called Turnebull: he, standing in the midst betwixt the two armies, challenged all the Englishmen, any one of them, to fight with him a combat. At length one Robert Venale, knight, a Norfolke man, requesting licence of the king, being armed, with his sword drawne, marcheth toward the champion, meeting by the way a certaine blacke mastiffe dogge, which waited on the champion, whom with his sword he sodanily strake and cut him off at his loynes; at the sight whereof the master of the dogge slaine was much abashed, and in his battell more warie and fearefull: whose left hand and head also afterward this worthy knight cut off."
Blomefield's Norfolk, x. 434: Sir Robert de Benhale, the hero of this fight, was distinguished later in the reign in the foreign campaigns. He married Eva, daughter of sir John Clavering and widow of sir James Audley, and had with her the lordship of Horseford, co. Norfolk. He was summoned to parliament, as baron, in 1360.

Life of Edward of Carnarvan by a Monk of Bridlington.

Eodem anno, mensis Julii die XIX, feria proxima ante festum Sanctæ Margaret, virginis, quæ fuit dies Lunæ præfixus, rex Angliæ campum petiit, suum exereitum instructurus. Et primo constituit unam turmam quingentorum armatorum circa villam, adjunctis sagittariiss et peditibus, ut egressum obsessis civibus abnegarent, ne a tergo venientes incursione furtiva Anglicis infestarent; cui præfuerunt Radulfus Basset, Thomas de Fournivalle baneretti, Symon Warde et Johannes de Multone milites, ac etiam major villze Novi Castri. Reliquum vero exercitum in tres cuneos iunc divisit. Quorum [primum] marscallo fratrique suo Johanni de Eltham comiti Cornubiæ, Henrico de Beaumount comiti de Boghan, et Edwardo de Boun gerenti vices comitis Herfordiæ, commendavit. Comes de Aseecle David huie turmæ alam a dextris versus mare, et comes de Angos Gilbertus de Unfravilla aliam a læva similiter faciebat. Secundam vero aciem ipse rex Angliæ hine inde, ut superius, alis compositis; tertiam quoque turmam regi Scotiæ Balliolensi, alis ut superius dispositis, ut instrueret, assignavit. Sagittarii alis singulis deputantur; et quia principalis et præsumptuosa causa instantis certaminis erat quod equites ducenti, ut premittitur, villam deberent ingredi illo die, constituit. rex totidem electos equites ut mutuo confligerent et illorum aditum impedirent.

Hall's Chronicle. The xix. day of July [Note. Cromwell was arrested on 10th June 1540 ], Thomas Lord Cromwell (age 55), late made Earl of Essex, as before you have hard, being in the counsel chamber, was suddenly apprehended, and committed to the Tower of London [Map], the which many lamented, but more rejoiced, and especially such, as ether had been religious men, or favoured religious persons, for they banqueted, and triumphed together that night, many wishing that that day had been seven years before, and some fearing least he should escape, although he were imprisoned, could not be merry. Other who knew nothing but truth by him, both lamented him, and heartily prayed for him. But this is true that of certain of the clergy, he was detestably hated, and specially of such as had borne swinge, and by his meanes was put from it, for in deed he was a man, that in all his doings, seemed not to favour any kind of Popery, nor could not abide the snoffing pride of some prelates, which undoubtedly whatsoever else was the cause of his death, did shorten his life, and procured the end that he was brought unto which was that the xix day of the said month, he was attainted by Parliament, and never came to his answer, which law many reported, he was the causer of the making thereof, but the truth thereof I know not. The Articles for which he died, appear in the Record, where his attainder is written, which are too long to be here rehearsed, but to conclude he was there attainted of heresy, and high treason.

Calendar of State Papers of Spain. 19th July 1545. Towards evening, through misfortune and carelessness, the ship [Mary Rose] of Vice-Admiral George Garew foundered, and all hands on board, to the number of about 500, were drowned, with the exception of about five and twenty or thirty servants, sailors and the like, who escaped. I made enquiries of one of the survivors, a Fleming, how the ship perished, and he told me that the disaster was caused by their not having closed the lowest row of gun ports on one side of the ship. Having fired the guns on that side, the ship was turning, in order to fire from the other, when the wind caught her sails so strongly as to heel her over, and plunge her open gunports beneath the water, which flooded and sank her. They say, however that they can recover the ship and guns.

John Evelyn's Diary. 19th July 1667. I went to Gravesend, Kent [Map]; the Dutch fleet still at anchor before the river, where I saw five of his Majesty's (age 37) men-at-war encounter above twenty of the Dutch, in the bottom of the Hope, chasing them with many broadsides given and returned toward the Buoy of the Nore, where the body of their fleet lay, which lasted till about midnight. One of their ships was fired, supposed by themselves, she being run on ground. Having seen this bold action, and their braving us so far up the river, I went home the next day, not without indignation at our negligence, and the nation's reproach. It is well known who of the Commissioners of the Treasury gave advice that the charge of setting forth a fleet this year might be spared, Sir W. C. (William Coventry (age 39)) by name.

The Confederates passing the Rhine, besiege Bonn and Mayence, to obtain a passage into France. A great victory gotten by the Muscovites, taking and burning Perecop. A new rebel against the Turks threatens the destruction of that tyranny. All Europe in arms against France, and hardly to be found in history so universal a face of war.
John Evelyn's Diary. 19th July 1689. The Scots have now again voted down Episcopacy there. Great discontents through this nation at the slow proceedings of the King (age 38), and the incompetent instruments and officers he advances to the greatest and most necessary charges.
John Evelyn's Diary. 19th July 1689. The Convention (or Parliament as some called it) sitting, exempt the Duke of Hanover (age 29) from the succession to the crown, which they seem to confine to the present new King (age 38), his wife (age 27), and Princess Anne of Denmark (age 24), who is so monstrously swollen, that it is doubted whether her being thought with child may prove a TYMPANY only, so that the unhappy family of the Stuarts seems to be extinguishing; and then what government is likely to be next set up is unknown, whether regal and by election, or otherwise, the Republicans and Dissenters from the Church of England evidently looking that way.
John Evelyn's Diary. 19th July 1691. The great victory of King William's army in Ireland was looked on as decisive of that war. The French General, St. Ruth, who had been so cruel to the poor Protestants in France, was slain, with divers of the best commanders; nor was it cheap to us, having 1,000 killed, but of the enemy 4,000 or 5,000.
John Evelyn's Diary. 19th July 1691. In the morning Dr. Tenison (age 54) preached the first sermon, taking his text from Psalm xxvi. 8. "Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth". In concluding, he gave that this should be made a parish church so soon as the Parliament sat, and was to be dedicated to the Holy Trinity, in honor of the three undivided persons in the Deity; and he minded them to attend to that faith of the church, now especially that Arianism, Socinianism, and atheism began to spread among us. In the afternoon, Mr. Stringfellow preached on Luke vii. 5. "The centurion who had built a synagogue". He proceeded to the due praise of persons of such public spirit, and thence to such a character of pious benefactors in the person of the generous centurion, as was comprehensive of all the virtues of an accomplished Christian, in a style so full, eloquent, and moving, that I never heard a sermon more apposite to the occasion. He modestly insinuated the obligation they had to that person who should be the author and promoter of such public works for the benefit of mankind, especially to the advantage of religion, such as building and endowing churches, hospitals, libraries, schools, procuring the best editions of useful books, by which he handsomely intimated who it was that had been so exemplary for his benefaction to that place. Indeed, that excellent person, Dr. Tenison, had also erected and furnished a public library [in St. Martin's]; and set up two or three free schools at his own charges. Besides this, he was of an exemplary, holy life, took great pains in constantly preaching, and incessantly employing himself to promote the service of God both in public and private. I never knew a man of a more universal and generous spirit, with so much modesty, prudence, and piety.

Diary of a Dean by Merewether. 20th. Opened a flat barrow (No. 1) of about 25 yards from skirt to skirt, and 5 feet from the apex to the level of the surrounding down, situated in the centre of the flat down about a mile and a quarter from Avebury, and at half a mile's distance from any other barrow. At the centre, 18 inches below the surface, were the fragments of a coarse unornamented vase, containing the bones of a child which had cut its first teeth, but had not changed them. In the chalk rubble were numerous pieces of deer's ribs. 2 ft. 6 in. from the surface was a skeleton of an adult (A); the thigh-bones measured 14½ inches, the whole frame compressed, the right hand turned hack under the wrist, the left laid across the face, and the bones of the wrist and forearm between the upper and lower jaws; the skull fractured into minute portions. The crouched posture of the skeleton, the rudeness of the vase with the hones of the child, the flat form and insulated position of the barrow, assign it to the earliest period of sepulture. The molar teeth were much worn, but were evidently those of a young person.
