	The Black Douglas's
		It is therefore suggested that William of Douglas married Freskin of Kerdal's sister.
		William returned to Scotland shortly before the Battle of Durham, when Scotland was in sore need of a strong man. Like Good Sir James he drove the English out of his own country of Galloway and then out of all Scotland with the aid of his fellow countrymen.
		It was not he, but William the Knight of Liddesdale who entered into traitorous negotiations with the English at this time, and this may be the reason that the Earl subsequently killed his Uncle, the Knight of Liddesdale, who had been his Godfather and tutor.

	William Shield - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation William Shield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		William Shield (March 5, 1748 – January 25, 1829) was an English composer, violinist and violist.
		Shield was first taught music by his father, but after both he and his mother died while Shield was still a child, he was apprenticed to a ship-builder in South Shields, continuing to study with Charles Avison in Newcastle upon Tyne.
		There has been some suggestion that a melody in the overture to Shield's opera Rosina is the source of the tune to Robert Burns's "Auld Lang Syne", although this is contested, with the general belief being that both Shield and Burns took the tune from an old folk song.
