=== Sheriff of Northumberland, 1169-1183. Wh ===
Sheriff of Northumberland, 1169-1183. When William the Lion, King of the Scots, crossed the border in 1173he came first to the castle of War, and there he demanded of Roger deStuteville the constable, "how he would act, whether he would hold it orsurrender it --- which course he would pursue." Before Roger deStuteville at Wark decided to negotiate a truce with the Scots he beggedof his chief men, "Give me such advice that I may preserve my honour". Inthe event the outcome was a compromise; Roger asked for, and was granted,a truce of 40 days during which he would seek aid. That satisfied theScots. It was not until the East of the next year, 1174, that the Scotsmarched again. They came first to Wark, but this time laid siege to it. The firstassault on the castle failed, and the Scots called up theirsiege-engines. They too failed, one of them grievously misfiring andstriking down one of the Scottish knights. "Then said the King of theScots: 'Let us leave this siege: I see my men destroyed, and evil whichcuts us off.....Roger d'Estuteville has proved our match'." So they movedoff, the triumphant garrison (at Wark) but discreetly rejoicing, forRoger de Stuteville, the constable forbade them to jeer ("Say nothingabusive: for God's sake let be!"), presumably in case the Scots should beshamed into renewing the attack. The Pipe Roll of 1174 mentions 10 knights and 40 men-at-arms at Warkin that year of rebellion against King Henry II by his sons. (EnglishMedieval Castles, by R. Allen Brown, 1954)
