old Roman Virosidum, where the sixth Cohort of the
Nervii formerly kept Garrison along the Wall against the
Picts and Scots. In the last Age, the
Richmonds and Salkelds bearing the Expence equally,
built a very strong Stone Bridge over the Eden for the
Convenience of Travellers. Following the Course of the River, we

Linstock Castle
|
|
|
Linstock, a Castle of the Bishop of Carlisle. The
Barony was first given by King Henry I. to one
Walter, his Chaplain, to hold of him and his Successors,
the Kings of England; but Walter voluntarily taking
upon him a religious Life, with the King's Licence in the Priory
of St. Mary's at Carlisle, the King gave
Linstock to the Canons in pure Alms. The Bishop's See was
after erected at Carlisle by the same King in 1133; but
the Lands were enjoy'd by the Bishop and Convents, who had the
Power of Election in common, 'till Pandolf, the Pope's
Legate, made a Division, and so the Barony of Linstock
became the Possessions of the See of Carlisle, as it
continues to this Day.

Greystoke Castle
Rose Castle

The Eden now drawing near the AEstuary receives two little
Rivers almost at the same Place, viz. the Peterell
and the Caude, which coming from the S. keep all along at
almost equal Distance, upon the former of which is Greystock
Castle belonging to his Grace the Duke of Norfolk; and
upon the Caude, Roso Castle, a beautiful Seat of
the Bishop of Carlisle: For this County having been a
Frontier, the ancient Houses of the Nobility and Gentry there
are, for the most Part, built Castlewise.

Battle of Solway Moss
|
|
|
Beyond the Esk, the County for some Miles is reckon'd
English Ground, and in that Compass, is
Sollom-Mosse, a Place remarkable for the Success of the
English, in taking many Scotch Noblemen Prisoners
in 1542; the Occasion was this: The Scots being ready to
join Battle, contrary to their Expectation, found that Sir
Oliver Sinclair was appointed their General, a Person who
not only lay under a general Odium, but being of an inferior
Rank, the Noblemen took it as an Affront to them to be commanded
by him; and to revenge the Injury, as they call'd it, fell into
Mutinies and Disorder.
