Description: | In early 1865 Scott began working on the Ballad of Chevy Chase series for Wallington Hall, owned by Sir Walter Trevelyan. The series was finally installed in early 1868. The ballad told how, in 1388, Earl Percy of Northumberland fought and died at the battle of Otterburn against the Scottish Earl Douglas, following skirmishes over cattle. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1866 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | William Bell Scott | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
