		In 1464 at The Battle of Hedgley Moor near Wooler in Northumberland, Sir Ralph Percy a Lancastrian supporter, and son of The Duke of Northumberland was killed fighting a superior Yorkshire army.
		Although the battle continued into the next day the death of their King and the mass slaughter of their fellows led the Scots to surrender.
		The normal plundering by victors after a battle was minimal, an air of respect was felt and the Scots only took what was necessary to maintain their own welfare.

		Corbridge entered the swinging sixties with a new pavilion, completed at a cost of £1,500.
		The decade drew to a close with Corbridge 1st XI being relegated in 1978, and then immediately winning promotion in 1979.This was the era of the club's most formidable fast bowling bowling attack of Robert Hardy and Geoff Huddleston.

		Records indicate that White actually returned full-time at $58,000 a year and that she also was designated as the recipient of more than $40,000 in salary, benefits, travel and "operating expenses" from the chancellor's discretionary fund in the 1993-94 fiscal year.
		For much of her tenure, Judith Albino had so many other battles to fight--the insurrection of the deans, negative publicity about her staffing arrangements, a deteriorating relationship with faculty and some regents--that the chancellor's office seems to have escaped her notice.
		CU attorneys have sought to restrict the scope of Palma's inquiry into Corbridge's behavior, noting that Albino's deposition is full of rumors and hearsay about eight women, several of whom didn't even work in Corbridge's office.

		Several of the women involved say they turned to the courts only after becoming convinced that the administrators who were supposed to investigate their grievances were more interested in protecting the status quo--which, at CU, consists of a byzantine web of personal and professional relationships, brazen conflicts of interest and power-brokering.
		Sources in the administration confirm that Corbridge was often difficult to reach and that his office seemed to shut down at five o'clock sharp, with phones left ringing unanswered.
		So valuable that, when White decided to take time off to go to law school, Corbridge not only wrote her a letter of recommendation, he arranged for an interim part-time job for her in his office--a position that didn't have to go through the usual notices and hiring procedures, because it was temporary.

		Being on the Borders, Corbridge copped a lot from the Scots, having been burned by Willie Wallace, Robert the Bruce and King David I. Also by the English king Edward I and King John.
		About the only convenience Corbridge doesn't have is a laundrette, but we have a washer and a dryer.
		Corbridge is a cute little town, the roads are narrow and parking a real hassle, but it has banks with autotellers, two good restaurants apart from several pubs and tea rooms, a supermarket, bakery, butcher, fruit and veg and a wineshop, all in walking distance.

		Constantine II was the son of King Aedh of the Picts and Scots, and succeeded to the throne on the death of his cousin, King Donald II.
		A joint army comprising Constantine's Scots and Olaf III Guthfrithson's Vikings was defeated at the Battle of Brunanburh by King Athelstan of England in 937.
		This battle, whose location might have been anywhere from south west Scotland to Humberside, was one of the most significant in the history of these islands as it effectively confirmed the status and approximate borders of "England".

	Corbridge Pele Tower, Northumberland - Castle Duncan Forums
		In the churchyard in the centre of the town lies a tower built in the 14th century as a residence for the vicar.
		On the second floor there are loops in the west, north and south walls, but no fireplace, although there is a stone lectern in the north-west corner.
		When I visited Corbridge in September 2002, it was a busy market town, and unlike the view in the vintage postcard, unfortunately had various motor vehicles parked around the pele tower, spoiling the view and making it difficult to take any decent photographs in the market place.

		Nothing is known about the final battle between Venutius and Vellocatus or the Romans, so it cannot be compared with Camlann other than for the likelihood that both battles occurred within Brigantian territory.
