David II. of Scotland encamped at Corbridge for a time during his second attempt to invade England but this expedition ended in his defeat and capture at Neville's Cross. Thereafter the north had rest for some years, and Corbridge seems to have been left in peace.
And when finally he loves you, dwell so long on your virtue and your conscience, that at length Henry, in order to quiet your conscience, will send this troublesome Catharine Parr to the block, or do as he did with Catharine of Aragon, and declare that he did not mentally give his consent to this marriage, and therefore Catharine is no queen, but only Lord Neville's widow.
Jim had been proud of Neville's success; she had been quicker than he. Mrs. Hilary, who had welcomed Neville's marriage as ending all that, foresaw a renewal of the hurtful business. But Jim looked grave and disapproving over it. "It is absurd," he agreed, and her heart rose. "And of course she can't do it, can't make up all that leeway. Besides, her brain has lost its grip.
The king, hearing and perceiving the cardinal so deceived in his estimation and choice, could not forbear laughing; but plucked down his visor, and Master Neville's also, and dashed out with such a pleasant countenance and cheer, that all noble estates there assembled, seeing the king to be there amongst them, rejoiced very much.
She would have gone on willingly with the subject, but Jim changed her abruptly for Neville. "Neville's looking done up." She felt the little sharp pang which Neville's name on Jim's lips had always given her. His very pronunciation of it hurt her "Nivvle," he said it, as if he had been an Irishman.
Sir Arthur was no less surprised to recognise his son, Captain Wardour, as Major Neville's companion. The first words of the young officers were a positive assurance to all present that their efforts were unnecessary, that what was merely an accidental bonfire had been taken for a beacon. The Antiquary found his arm pressed by Lord Glenallan, who dragged him aside.
She did not send for her husband, but called an army together, and the Scots were so well beaten at Neville's Cross, that their king, David himself, was obliged to give himself up to an English squire. The man would not let the queen have his prisoner, but rode day and night to Dover, and then crossed to Calais to tell the king, who bade him put King David into Queen Philippa's keeping.
Surprised at this, she spoke to her husband about it, but he, hurriedly, and with some embarrassment, advised her to "let him alone" his "nerves were shaken" his "health was feeble" and that it would be kind on her part to refrain from noticing him or asking him questions. So she refrained but Neville's behavior puzzled her all the same.
He published a volume of English Ballads; but this has not the historical interest which makes England's Trust a curiosity. He has written about Church Rates, and the Colonies, and the Importance of Literature to Men of Business, but never again of his reveries in Neville's Court nor of his determination to emulate the virtues of King Charles the Martyr. No matter!
The barony either gave its name to, or took its name from, a well-known Northumbrian family, of which one of the most prominent members was that Sir John de Coupland who succeeded in capturing David of Scotland at the battle of Neville's Cross not, however, before he had lost some of his teeth by a blow from the mailed fist of that doughty monarch!
