	Battle of Neville's Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By mid 1346, it was obvious that the English under Edward III had every intent of breaking the Truce of Malestroit and resuming (what would be known later as) the Hundred Years War with France.
		Though the Scots were in what is considered a rather poor position (with various obstacles between them and the English position), they remembered well their defeats in the Battle of Dupplin Moor and the Battle of Halidon Hill and thus took a defensive stance, waiting for the English to attack.
		When it became clear that the battle was going in the English's favor, Robert Stewart and the Earl of March fled, abandoning David II's battalion to face the enemy alone.

		The significance of the cross (apart from its value as an example of early medieval art) is in the part it played in the introduction of Christianity to Britain.
		As the "rood crosses" had been made of wood, they were usually ornately carved and this idea, too, was carried over and applied to the stone crosses.
		The survival of the Easby Cross illustrates yet another historical paradox: for when the church was being built on the site of the original stone cross, the cross (which was regarded as being too crude) was broken up and used as convenient building stone in the new church.
