- The story put to the King this document represents nothing short of armed insurrection and barbarism, involving the murder of many inhabitants of Newcastle at the hands of the Prior’s hired thugs from the bandit lands of Tynedale and Redesdale.

I now live in Bulgaria, but 35 years ago had a house in Tynemouth. Did the inhabitants of Tynemouth have problems with Newcastle people? Yes, absolutely. We, Tynemouth people were an absolute cut above the Newcastle hoi polloi. Now I know where this all came from.
Some big names in that list of rascals. Depriving the king of his revenue was risky.
