A.D. 1194. UECOSCILIATIOJÎ OF THE BISHOPS. Second, and that after him, king Malcolm, his son, held it in peace for five years. Upon this, the king of England, after taking counsel with his people, made answer to the king of Scotland that he would give him the whole of Northumberland, excepting the castles, for the said sum ; but the king of Scotland declined to receive it without the castles.
