About this book
Northumberland Yesterday and To-day is by Jean F. Terry. The contents list names, among others, the chapters The Coast of Northumberland, The Cheviots and The Roman Wall. Lines of verse quoted in the text say that Earl Douglas was buried at the braken bush and that the Percy was led captive away.
The text says that Hotspur fell a captive to the sword of Sir Hugh Montgomery, a nephew of Douglas, after a fierce hand-to-hand encounter. The text says that Derwentwater took little part for some time in attempts to organise rebellion, the objective being the restoration of the exiled Stuarts to the throne. The text says that Alnwick, with its quaint, uneven, narrow streets, and grey stone houses, looks the part of a Border town even in these days, and that the Hotspur tower was not built by Hotspur, but by his son.
