Description: | Polished grey tablet inset in sandstone slab at the top of steps. Additional Information: The stone commemorates the capture of William the Lion (1143-1214), the Scottish king during the siege of Alnwick Castle in 1174. He was taken prisoner by English soldiers whilst out riding with a small party of followers. As the price of his release he agreed to the Treaty of Falaise by which he swore to do homage and fealty to Henry II, the English king.(1) | Subjects: | Other | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Carver: Not known | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7530... | Go to resource |
