[Whar]ton for muster, which was found in a manuscript of
Theodorus Sisson, who was one of his Majesty's justices of
the peace for the county of Westmorland, and who resided at
Barton, the only place summoned in that county. - He says,
that the whole of Sir Thomas Wharton's force did not exceed
1000 men, (some historians have called them only 300,) and
that they engaged an army of 15,000 Scots, and took
prisoners almost every person of distinction in the Scots
army, and eight or nine hundred common soldiers, with all
their baggage. The reason given by the Scots was, that not
knowing who was their commander in chief on the day of the
battle, Oliver Sinclair, the King's favourite, being lifted
upon the shoulders of two of his soldiers, shewed the King's
commission, wherein himself was appointed their General,
wherewith the Scots were so displeased, that they refused to
fight, and suffered themselves to be taken prisoners.
The names of these Lords sent for by Sir Thomas Wharton
in 1543, for Defence of the Borders.
