THE STORY OF CAREY'S COWS - CLAN CARRUTHERS CCIS

THE STORY OF CAREY’S COWS   Sir Richard Carey, the Warden of the English West March, after many abortive attempts to subdue the Armstrongs, decided on a determined plan to rid Liddesdale, once and for all, of the reiving activities of this tiresome clan. He entered Liddesdale with a strong force, and, as expected. the reivers withdrew, with their families and belongings into Tarras Moss, a vast,…

July 7th 1575 saw “The Raid of the Redeswire”

This has a number of names, The battle of Carter’s Bar, The Redswire Fray being another two, it has been described as a skirmish in what should have been a run-of-the-mill Warden’s meeting had been arranged between John Carmichael, the Keeper of Liddesdale, and the English Middle March Warden, Sir John Forster. It’s also been described as the last major battle between Scotland and England, I would hardly call it a battle, although we (The Scots) did give them a good beating that day!.

There would have been fines to be paid, men to be handed over to answer for their crimes, and paperwork to be exchanged. It is unlikely that either side had considered an all-out fight. Things seems to have gone well enough, until the case of one individual was raised. Carmichael demanded that he was handed over, Forster denied knowledge of his whereabouts, which was not believed. Insults were exchanged and then the entire meeting descended into violence. The skirmish seemed to have gone the Scots way due to the the fact that the English mainly fought with bows and swords, but the Scots were armed with firearms as well as more traditional weapons.

Of course it wouldn't be a Borders story without oor Walter Scott writing about the Skirmish n the first edition of the Minstrelsy of 1802

“Some gaed to drink and some stude still And some to cards and dice them sped Till on ane Farnstein they fyled a bill And he was fugitive and fled. Then was there nought but bow and speir And every man pulled out a brand; "A Schafton and a Fenwick” thare: Gude Symington was slain frae hand.“

Farnstein, is said to be the man the English were after, however local tradition states that it was a man by the name of Henry Robson, official papers of the time don’t identify the man.

Anyway the story goes that the Scots were forced to retreat, but during their flight they met up with another group from Jedburgh, who were late to the meeting.This gave the Scots an advantage. They began to break the English lines and in time, the English were routed. The English second in command, George Heron was killed, along with his brother John and 23 other Englishmen. Forster and several other nobles were captured, and the Scots conducted an impromptu raid, taking 300 cattle from local farms., well it would be rude not to!

Prisoners were taken by the Scots, and brought to James Douglas, 4th Earl of Morton, who was the regent for King James VI. This soon became embarrassing for the Scots, as the prisoners, who were being held at Dalkeith Castle, had likely been taken for their ransom value, although Douglas stated that it was to keep them from being killed in the heat of battle. [He wrote a letter to Queen Elizabeth describing the events, but she was outraged and sent William Killigrew to demand immediate "satisfaction" from the Earl of Morton. Douglas was directed to meet with George Hastings, 4th Earl of Huntingdon, who was the lieutenant of the northern counties, to work out the details, and the two men were able to come to an amicable solution, as Douglas didn’t want to anger Elizabeth, and she wanted to avoid a war.

Forster and the others had been treated with kindness and were released with gifts and an apology for being held.

Carmichael was delivered to York as a prisoner for trial, but was acquitted as the English court found that Forster had engaged in an unprovoked attack.

The picture shows a monument known as the Redeswire Stone built in commemoration of the battle. It reads, "On this ridge, July 7th, 1575 was fought one of the last border raids, known as The Raid of the Redeswire”

Hermitage Castle

Hermitage Castle has been guarding Liddesdale for centuries.

In October 1566, Mary Queen of Scots embarked on a dramatic ride here from Jedburgh.

On the gruelling journey back to Jedburgh, Mary’s horse stumbled, throwing her into a bog, from which she contracted a fever.

She was confined to bed in Jedburgh for a week, and it was said she was fortunate to recover from her ordeal.

R. Tomlin is the first book in the series about Archibald Douglas, the bastard son of James Douglas, during the reign of King David II in 14th Century Scotland. It is a coming-of-age story about Archibald, orphaned as a nine-year-old boy and exiled to France with the young king. Archibald is placed under the care of Sir William Douglas, with whom he returns to Scotland to take back castles and lands from the English, setting the stage for King David's return. Archibald rises in rank from squire to knight and ultimately fights in the disastrous Battle of Neville's Cross, where the king is wounded and captured. Author Tomlin has created an intriguing tale told from the first-person perspective of Archibald as he matures from an idealistic boy to a battle-hardened young man who becomes disheartened by the political machinations of noblemen pledged to fight for the king. Though conditioned to obey his superiors, Archibald sometimes disregards commands and openly questions Sir Williams' brutal act of capturing and murdering a rival, whom the king had appointed as constable of Roxburgh and Sheriff of Teviotdale. Vibrant descriptions of historical events ring true, such as a tournament hosted by the English during a temporary truce. The final chapters vividly describe the gut-wrenching horror of battle at Neville's Cross. Archibald fiercely fights to protect his king, but he soon recognizes the hopeless situation when disloyal commanders and their men retreat and abandon them. For those unfamiliar with the history of Scotland, it may be difficult to grasp how some of the characters are related to each other. The dialogue uses the Scottish dialect, but a glossary that defines the distinct terms is helpful. Those who enjoy reading medieval Scottish fiction should find The Douglas Bastard an intriguing start to the epic saga of the historical figure known as Archibald the Grim.   Instagram Handle: @thecoffeepotbookclub Read the full article

On 5th July 1530 Border reiver, John Armstrong of Gilnockie, up to 50, (numbers vary) of his men were hanged for blackmail by James V.

Even by the brutal standards of the day, this must have been a horrific event.

John Armstrong of Gilnockie near Langholm was a famous Scottish border reiver ( raider ) and infamous plunderer and cattle 'lifter' from the powerful Armstrong family along the lawless Scottish Border with England in the early 16th Century, and the subject of a well known Border Ballad - 'The Ballad of Johnnie Armstrong'. He raided into England when Scotland was in the ascendancy and would raid into Scotland as power shifted. He led a band of a hundred and sixty men.

The ballad relates that the king sends him a letter, requesting his presence in court and promising him safety. Johnnie is fooled by this honor and orders his men to dress richly, as befits the court. On their arrival, the king tries to arrest them, and Armstrong orders them to fight. They are all killed, although Johnnie is brought down only by a treacherous attack from behind.

The actual events differ, Johnnie was indeed tricked by Scotland's King James V, but there was no fight. Johnnie was captured and hanged with his men at Caerlanrig in 1529.

Being the reivers that they were, you can be sure that the Armstrongs had their revenge. Twelve years later, in 1542, James V was to die, some say of a broken heart, following the rout of the Scottish army at the Battle of Solway Moss which took place eight days after the birth of his daughter, Mary, Queen of Scots. Some of the Armstrongs joined the English army in dealing a mortal blow to the Scots as they vainly tried to cross the river Esk at Longtown. It was the Armstrongs who picked off the remnants of the Scots army as they fled in panic north through Liddesdale.

There is a lot more about Johnnie and the Reivers in general here https://windhamnhhistory.org/2015/06/
