Document 1/54/9 (RRS, vi, no. 481)
- Description
- David, king of Scots, writes to Edward III, king of England, in reply to his letter complaining that, in subversion of the dignity of the English crown, Louis, bishop of Durham, had been summoned to attend in person before the Scottish parliament at Scone, to show by what title or service he held the land of Wester Upsettlington, signifies that the said land held by the see of Durham is within the bounds of Scotland, and, though granted by the piety of the former kings of Scotland or their subjects, in honour of St Cuthbert, with spiritual and temporal jurisdiction, they could not change these boundaries. Wherefore he begs him to send some of his council with power to meet others on his own behalf, and terminate the difficulty.
