Longshanks are truly, truly some awkward creatures...

On 28th August 1296 Edward I of England held a "parliament" at Berwick and required all prominent Scots to swear allegiance to him.

Those who attended were recorded in the "Ragman Roll", so called, it is believed, from the tangle of seals attached thereto. This was part of his campaign to rule Scotland after forcing John Balliol to abdicate in July.

John Balliol, I think has been treated a wee bit harsh by historians, Longshanks chose him as he thought he would be the weakest of the contenders, but when the English asked him to send troops to help him fight the French he refused, instead he signed the Auld Alliance in 1295. After dethroning Balliol Edward chose to rule Scotland himself.

There were around 2,000 said to have signed and attached their seals to this document but it is highly unlikely they all attended Berwick, instead they may have been gathered as Edward's army took control of Scotland after they defeated us at Dunbar in April.

"in a little glade not far from the lake he found boromir."

aragorn finds him struck by black feathered arrows, lying at the base of a tree in the aftermath of a valiant fight. boromir exclaims sorrowfully that he has failed, too deeply concerned with the wellbeing of the hobbits, and of minas tirith, to worry about himself. but aragorn comforts him, taking his hand and kissing his brow, reassuring him that he has fought bravely and that there is yet hope.

Dewshine and Longshanks

—-

I could probably continue this forever but… god, I am so done with this. Emotionally. Digital project I started on last year that I happened to find on my ipad files a few weeks ago.

I remember when I started this, I kept thinking about how Dewshine is rarely drawn on her own without her lovemates or her tormentor, and so many forget that her primary weapon is bow and arrow. I also thing I have never seen her drawn with her wolffriend? So here she is hunting with Longshanks.
