I should have said this is not a hunting expedition. We all have to rough it." "I beg pardon, Colonel," said Lieutenant Denham, giving me a quick look. "Private Moray meant to say the black had been the servant at his home. I had forgotten the man. I remember him now. He was a good hunter and manager of the bullock-wagon we took up the country."
Out of these lands Hugo granted, as already stated, to his relative Gilbert de Moravia, Archdeacon of Moray from 1204 till 1222, and to his heirs and assigns whomsoever, all Creich and much of Dornoch parish up to the boundaries of Ross, and the date of this grant was probably about 1211.
On its suppression, David I confiscated the earldom of Moray, and granted it, by charters, to his own favourites, and especially to the Anglo-Normans, from Yorkshire and Northumberland, whom he had invited to aid him in dealing with the reactionary forces of Moray; but such grants of land in no way dispossessed the lesser tenants, who simply held of new lords and by new titles.
HENRY COTTERILL, Bishop of Edinburgh; WM. S. WILSON, Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway; HUGH W. JERMYN, Bishop of Brechin; ARTHUR G. DOUGLAS, Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney; J. R. A. CHINNERY-HALDANE, Bishop of Argyll and the Isles; For the Bishop of Moray, Ross, and Caithness, Primus, ROBERT A. EDEN, M. A., Commissary."
Long thwarted in their policy by Moray and its Pictish maormors, who claimed even the throne itself, these two kings pushed their authority, by organisation and conquest, more and more towards the north. Alexander I founded the Bishoprics of St. Andrew's, Dunkeld, and Moray in 1107, and the Monastery of Scone, afterwards intimately connected with Kildonan in Sutherland, in 1113 or 1114.
"If the Governor would grant me leave, I would not only wear, but use one, your excellency knows well where," said I. "Large speaking, Captain Moray. They do that in Virginia, I am told." "In Gascony there's quiet, your excellency." Doltaire laughed outright, for it was said that Bigot, in his coltish days, had a shrewish Gascon wife, whom he took leave to send to heaven before her time.
"They've got so close in now, with their wagons to hide behind, that I'm blessed if it's safe for a sentry to show his head anywhere." "But our fellows have got stone walls to keep behind, and they ought by now to shoot as well as the Boers," I said. "That's quite right, Mr Moray," cried the Sergeant, angrily puffing at his pipe; "they ought to, but they don't not by a long way.
We know too much of Moray to acquiesce, without reserve, in this eulogium. By no people but the Scots, perhaps, could this jape have been taken seriously, but, with a gravity that would have delighted Charles Lamb, Knox denounced the skit from the pulpit as a fabrication by the Father of Lies.
It was, indeed, necessary to send King David and his wife to France, and they landed at Boulogne in May, 1334. But from France, in return, came the young Earl of Moray, who, along with Robert the High Steward, son of Marjory Bruce, and next heir to the throne, took up the duties of guardians.
Darnley, Moray, Lennox were all assassinated, when their day came, though the feeblest of the three, Darnley, had a powerful clan to take up his feud. We cannot suppose that any moral considerations prevented the many people whom Knox had offended from doing unto him as the Elect did to Riccio. Manifestly, nobody had the courage.
