swore fealty to Edward and was made Constable of Carlisle Castle on the Scots England border. Up river from the Solway Firth.

Carlisle Castle was first built during the reign of William II of England, the son of William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. At that time, Cumberland (the original name for north and west Cumbria) was still considered a part of Scotland. William II arrived and drove the Scots out of Cumberland to claim the area for England. The act of driving out the Scots from Cumberland led to many attempts to retake the lands. The result of this was that Carlisle and its castle would change hands many times for the next 700 years. The first attempt was under Stephen of England. The Scottish King, David captured the city. Henry VIII converted the castle for artillery, employing the engineer Stefan von Haschenperg. For a few months in 1568, Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned within the castle, in the southeast corner which has since been demolished. Later, the castle was besieged by the Parliamentary forces for eight months in 1644, during the English Civil War.

1696 The Darien colony. Sometime in October.

The English Parliament persisted in the attempt to find remedies for the evils which they were pleased to apprehend from the [Scot’s] Darien scheme, by  appointing a committee of enquiry, with directions to summon before them such persons as had, by subscribing to the Company, given encouragement to the progress of an undertaking, so fraught, as they alleged, with danger to the trade of England. These persons, being called before Parliament, and  menaced with impeachment, were compelled to  renounce their connexion with the undertaking, which was thus deprived of the aid of English  subscriptions, to the amount, as already mentioned, of three hundred thousand pounds. Nay, so eager  [Sir Walter Scott’s Tales of a Grandfather-59-35] did the English Parliament show themselves in this matter, that they even extended their menace of impeachment to some native-born Scotsmen, who had offended the House by subscribing their own money to a Company formed in their own country, and according to their own laws.

2014 John Hoffmire: Scottish independence, what now?

A referendum advertising poster in Edinburgh, Scotland. Notwithstanding the political victory, [continuing unity] it is still important for politicians in the United Kingdom to realize that 45 percent of Scots, more than 1.6 million people, voted to leave the union. [Scotland is about the size of Connecticut, with twice the population.]

Influenced by the welfare economies in neighboring Scandinavia, Scotland has a more robust and expensive welfare system than England. This higher price tag will have to be covered by funds from the rest of the U.K. in the years to come. With lower productivity per worker and an aging population, the time to resolve this issue is now, especially with the vote out of the picture.
