http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Heritage/FSCNS/Scots_NS/Clans/Douglas/Melrose.html

Extractions: by Today the fragmented mediaeval ruin of Berwick castle beside the Victorian train station and Royal border bridge is a shell of its former glory, originally a great Scottish fortress fought over by the Scots and the English for centuries. If its stones could talk what tales they could tell invasions, massacres, wars, hostage taking and the like. In 1296 King Edward I of England, the "Hammer of the Scots" invaded Scotland besieging Berwick castle and its town "walls" (actually a wooden palisade). Edward and his army entered the town by surprise spending three days ruthlessly killing almost the entire civilian population. While the castle's garrison led by William "the hardy" Douglas could do nothing in their defence. Sadly this slaughter of innocent civilians is not confined to the pages of the past but has been repeated again and again throughout history. Even in the recent Balkans conflict some 700 years after the Berwick massacre. Edward eventually ended the carnage on seeing a pregnant woman giving birth being hacked to death by his men. Likely Douglas's own harrowing account of the Berwick massacre, his inability to protect the civilians and his own death at the hands of the English at York moulded young James Douglas's character into a violent, vindictive killer, whose guerilla campaign against the English earned him the title The Black Douglas, a token reference to his dark skin and black hair but more fully a reference to his black nature in warfare. For example he beheaded the entire English garrison in his own castle of Douglas leaving their bodies in the vaults beside spilt grain and wine before setting the castle on fire and for good measure he chopped up their horses dumping the animal parts into the castle's well along with salt to spoil the water supply. The whole event became known as the "Douglas larder".

Extractions: BERWICK Thomas BERWICK , pioneer, surveyor, and planter was born in Pennsylvania in 1740. He probably came to the Attakapas District of Louisiana in 1799 with Malagereno settlers led by Francisco ?. There, he married Eleanor Wales (Helen Wallace) of Dublin, Ireland. She was born in 1748 and died in 1815. Thomas supervised construction of the Spanish settlement of New Iberia as well as being royal surveyor for Opelousas and the Attakapas District. He also invested in tanniers and shoe shops in the New Iberia area. He later ventured southward along the coastline where the town of Berwick and Berwick Bay were named for him. He died at Opelousas around January 1792. Thomas and Eleanor had nine children: Thomas II was born in the Lake Ponchatrain area in January, 1771. He married in 1795 to Rachal Comstock, daughter of William Comstock and Rachael Edwards. Three children were born: Thomas II died on October 12, 1846.

http://www.electricscotland.com/history/articles/prisoners.htm

Extractions: Scots Prisoners sent to Berwick, Maine - 1651 In November 1650 a number of these prisoners were apparently sent to Boston in the "Unity," arriving in New England early in 1651, no doubt. Sixty of these prisoners were sent to Lynn, to work in the iron industry, and the others dispersed. As the prisoners were sold as indentured servants at about 30 pounds each, the average passage at the time being about 5 pounds, Col. Banks has suggested that the owners of the "Unity" cleared a handsome profit of about 1,500 pounds on the trip. John Gifford, Saugus iron works manager, wrote in 1653: "For 62 Scotts died and 35 only left on the works, 17 to Awbrey, 3 to commissioners; 2 sold and rest we desire to whom disposed of, which is 5 at 20 pounds. Col. Banks listed the following as being probably prisoners who settled in Berwick, formerly a part of Kittery, Maine: Niven Agnew, James Barry, Alexander Cooper, William Furbush, Daniel Ferguson, Peter Grant, George Gray, William Alexander Gowen, David Hamilton, Thomas Holme, John Key, Alexander Maxwell, John Neal, John Ross, John Taylor, William Thomson and James Warren.

http://www.shroudeater.com/cberwick.htm

Extractions: In Berwick, there died a very wealthy man. After his burial, he started wandering around "pursued by a pack of dogs with loud barkings". Nobody dared to leave his house at night. But something had to be done, because it was feared that the foul stench of the corpse would cause death and disease. Ten brave young men dug up the vampire's carcass, cut it limb from limb, and cremated it. There were no further disturbances at night. So the inhabitants of Berwick thought that they had beaten the monster. "But a pestilence, which arose in consequence, carried off the greater portion of them." The Date: No date is given. But it seems a safe bet to place this story somewhere during the 12th Century. The Place: Berwick (or Berwick-upon-Tweed) can be found at the mouth of the river Tweed, on the South-East coast of Scotland.

http://members.aol.com/skyelander/thelion.html

Extractions: William, King of Scotland, was surnamed "The Lion" due to the rampant (standing on hind legs) red lion on a yellow field, which he had as his standard. It would go on to become Scotland's Royal Heraldic colours and is easily recognizable even today. He was the second son of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon (died 1152), a son of King David I, he became king of Scotland on the death of his brother, the weak-willed Malcolm IV. In December 1165, William was crowned at Scone. Shortly after his accesssion to the throne, he spent some time at the English court of Henry II; then quarrelling with Henry, he arranged an alliance between the two countries, Scotland and France, which would take root again over 100 years later (in 1294) and last until 1746, known as the "Auld Alliance." The oldest mutual self-defence treaty in Europe. He arranged this treaty with French King Louis VII; and even assisted Henry's sons in their revolt against their father (Henry II of England) in 1173. In return for this aid, the younger Henry granted Northumberland, a possession which William had sought, in vain, from the English king. William was a ferocious fighter and military commander, but of questionable ability as a tactician, by English chronicle accounts. He led a band of well armed men, a mix of wild Irish Kerns, Norman-Scots, Celts and Galloway men. According to the chroniclers the kerns "slaughtered children, ripped open pregnant women, and cut down priests at their atlars." But, this type of description of William's actions were written by frightened and highly propagandized English chroniclers, whose prose was so compelling that later chroniclers and writers would use this same propaganda when they described the behaviour of William Wallace's men.
William Wallace And The Battle Of Stirling Bridge, Pt.2
Among them were Sir william Douglas, the former commander of berwick and witnessto the slaughter of Scots men, women and children at the hands of Edward I.
http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/skyelander/stir2.html

Extractions: Recovering from Edward's blitzkrieg, a few Scots warlords set about to reclaim their dignity. Foremost among these was William Wallace, the son of a minor landholder. Wallace is a man of whom the facts are truthfully few. He was a man of low status or minor status and called by some an outlaw or bandit, it may have been that Wallace was being used by more powerful Scots aristocrats as a cover for their rebellion so they should not be seen to break their feudal vows of homage to Edward. In the "Lanercost Chronicle", (a north English chronicle), William Wallace is called "Willelmus Wallensis" Welsh William perhaps as a reference to his Celtic tongue or more likely his descent from the Britons of Strathclyde, a Celtic people strongly related to the Welsh. Harrassed by English tax collectors and hiding in the forests of Selkirk, Wallace gathered around him a band of rogue and common warriors (called outlaws by some English accounts). His father, Sir Malcolm Wallace, was a small landowner in Renfrew. In 1296 King Edward I of England deposed and imprisoned the Scottish king John de Balliol and declared himself ruler of Scotland. Sporadic resistance had already occurred when, in May 1297, Wallace and a band of some 30 men burned Lanark and killed its English sheriff.
