Archibald’s is recorded in 1356 at the Battle of Poitiers where he was captured by the English. Douglas had accompanied his cousin William, 1^st Earl of Douglas to serve King John II of France in his wars against the Black Prince. Edward III of England had concluded truce negotiations with the Scots lasting from the 25^th March (new Year’s day) until Michaelmas, following the Burnt Candlemas of the 2^nd of February. During the truce, Earl William had secured safe passage to travel to Château Gaillard to visit David II; amongst his entourage was the 28 year old Archibald. Once in France, in the chivalric spirit of the age the Douglases joined the French army, to prevent their harnesses rusting through inactivity.

Lord Ochiltree’s brotherHenry Stewart, 1^st Lord Methven as the Master of the Scottish Artillery, was the widower of late Margaret Stewart (nee Tudor, Doulas), dowager Queen. Lord Methven organized guns to be brought from the siege of Broughty Castle in June. These guns were shipped to Aberlady the nearest haven on the Forth. The great Scottish gun ‘thrawinmouth’ from Dunbar Castle was also deployed and the cannons from Broughty were placed on 3 July 1548. On 5 July Methven gave Mary of Guise an optimistic report of the damage caused to the English defenses by his guns. His fire had demolished the Tollbooth within the town, and he had advanced trenches towards the ramparts. Mary of Guise came to view the progress of the siege on 9 July 1548 and her party came in range of the English guns. Following this set-back, the French officer d’Essé ordered the heavy guns to be withdrawn on 17 July. With rumours of English reinforcement, Methven took the Scottish and French guns to Edinburgh and Leith, while d’Essé kept the camp. The English withdrew because the were out of supplies, many of their men had died from disease or during the Scottish night raids, and more French reinforcements had arrived under Paul de Thermes.

When he compeared, he pleaded the favour granted him by his majesty (James 1 & 6) when in Denmark, and withal purged himself of the accusation laid against him, and yet notwithstanding of all these (said he), the king hath exhausted both my estate and person, and has left me nothing but my life, and that apparently he is seeking; I am prepared to suffer any punishment, only I am careful not to suffer as a malefactor or evil doer.——A warrant was delivered to him to enter in ward in the castle of Edinburgh, where he continued till the first January [1622]; the bishops absented from the council that day, however they were his delators.

1665 Per Chambers’ “Book of Days”, the Great Plague of London reached its worst during the week ending September 19, 1665.  Approximately 20% of London’s population perished of the disease between 1665-1666.  During the week of September 19^th, 10,000, or so, of the estimated 100,000 total deaths occurred. The History of the Great Plague in London,’ says Sir Walter Scott, ‘is one of that particular class of compositions which hovers between romance and history. Undoubtedly Defoe embodied a number of traditions upon this subject with what he might actually have read, or of which he might otherwise have received direct evidence. This dreadful disease, which, in the language of Scripture, might be described as “the pestilence which walketh in darkness, and the destruction that wasteth at noon-day,” was indeed a fit subject for a pencil so veracious as that of Defoe. Had he not been the author of Robinson Crusoe, Defoe would have deserved immortality for the genius which he has displayed in this work.’

1778 Henry Peter Brougham, 1^st Baron Brougham and Vaux (19 Sept 1778 Cowgate Edinburgh–7 May 1868) (pronounced Broom and Vokes) was a British statesman who became Lord Chancellor of Great Britain. As a young lawyer in Scotland Brougham helped to found the Edinburgh Review in 1802 and contributed many articles to it. Brougham was born and grew up in Edinburgh, the eldest son of Henry Brougham, of Brougham Hall in Westmorland, and Eleanora, daughter of Reverend James Syme. The Broughams had been an influential Cumberland family for centuries. Brougham was educated at the Royal High School and the University of Edinburgh, where he chiefly studied natural science and mathematics, but also law. He published several scientific papers through the Royal Society, notably on light and colours and on prisms, and at the age of only 25 was elected a Fellow. However, Brougham chose law as his profession, and was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates in 1800. He practiced little in Scotland, In the early 19th century, Brougham, a follower of Newton, launched vicious anonymous attacks in the Edinburgh Review against Thomas Young’s research that proved light was a wave phenomenon that exhibited interference and diffraction.

1942 Egypt. Sometime in September. Operation Bertram. In September, 1942, Allies dumped waste materials (discarded packing cases, etc.) under camouflage nets in the northern sector, making them appear to be ammunition or ration dumps. The Axis naturally noticed these but, as no offensive action immediately followed and the “dumps” did not change in appearance, they were subsequently ignored. This allowed Eighth Army to build up supplies in the forward area unnoticed by the Axis, by replacing the rubbish with ammunition, petrol or rations at night. Meanwhile, a dummy pipeline was built, hopefully leading the Axis to believe the attack would occur much later than it, in fact, did and much further south. To further the illusion, dummy tanks consisting of plywood frames placed over jeeps were constructed and deployed in the south. In a reverse feint, the tanks destined for battle in the north were disguised as supply trucks by placing removable plywood superstructures over them. The Battle of El Alamein is usually divided into five phases, consisting of the break-in (23–24 October), the crumbling (24–25 October), the counter (26–28 October), Operation Supercharge (1–2 November) and the breakout (3–7 November). No name is given to the period from 29–31 October, when the battle was at a standstill.

2014 Scotland votes to remain part of United Kingdom.

Yes and No on a buildnig on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland.

EDINBURGH, Scotland — Scottish voters have resoundingly rejected independence, deciding to remain part of the United Kingdom after a historic referendum that shook the country to its core. The decision prevented a rupture of a 307-year union with England, bringing a huge sigh of relief to Britain’s economic and political establishment, including Prime Minister David Cameron, who faced calls for his resignation if Scotland had broken away.  The vote on Thursday — 55 percent against independence to 45 percent in favor — saw an unprecedented turnout of just under 85 percent.  “We have chosen unity over division,” Alistair Darling, head of the No campaign, said early Friday in Glasgow. “Today is a momentous day for Scotland and the United Kingdom as a whole.” Independence leader Alex Salmond’s impassioned plea to launch a new nation fell short, with Scots choosing instead the security of remaining in union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Still, the result establishes a whole new political dynamic in the United Kingdom, with Cameron appearing outside No. 10 Downing Street to pledge more powers for regional governments. “Just as the people of Scotland will have more power over their affairs, so it follows that the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland must have a bigger say over theirs,”

The No campaign won the capital city, Edinburgh, by a margin of 61 percent to 38 percent and triumphed by 59 percent to 41 percent in Aberdeen, the country’s oil center. The Yes campaign won Glasgow, Scotland’s biggest city, but it was not enough.

The voted riveted the nation. Those glued to returns included “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, who tweeted that she had “Been up all night watching Scotland make history. A huge turnout, a peaceful democratic process: we should be proud.”

Rowling gave 1 million pounds ($1.6 million) to the No campaign.

The result saved Cameron from a historic defeat and also helped opposition chief Ed Miliband by keeping his many Labour Party lawmakers in Scotland in place. Labour would have found it much harder to win a national election in 2015 without that support from Scotland. [Didn’t help Labor to keep Scotland in the 2015 elections.]

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a Scot, returned to prominence with a dramatic barnstorming campaign in support of the union in the final days before the referendum vote. Brown argued passionately that Scots could be devoted to Scotland but still proud of their place in the U.K., rejecting the argument that independence was the patriotic choice.

“There is not a cemetery in Europe that does not have Scots, English, Welsh and Irish lined side by side,” Brown said before the vote. “We not only won these wars together, we built the peace together. What we have built together by sacrificing and sharing, let no narrow nationalism split asunder.”

For his part, Cameron — aware that his Conservative Party is widely loathed in Scotland — begged voters not to use a vote for independence as a way to bash the Tories.
