Fix this textIT is now long since the Border Country heard
Fix this textthe clash of arms and the shout of clansmen
Fix this textas the English and Scots fought it out back and
Fix this textforth across each other’s borders. As a result
Fix this textof these remorseless struggles, however, there
Fix this textstand today the ruins of the magnificent abbeys
Fix this textof Jedburgh, Dryburgh and Melrose, around
Fix this textwhich were fought those battles of long ago.
Fix this textJedburgh, the county town of Roxburghshire,
Fix this textis situated in the valley of the Jed, forty-eight
Fix this textmiles from Edinburgh, and is famed for the
Fix this textnoble ruins of its abbey and other relics of its
Fix this texthistoric past. In the ninth century a town
Fix this textexisted at Jedburgh which grew up around a
Fix this textstronghold-—in those turbulent days no com-
Fix this textmunity was rash enough to establish itself
Fix this textwithout the protecting shield of a castle. Before
Fix this textthe end of the eleventh century there existed at
Fix this textJedburgh a castle of formidable strength, which
Fix this textwas used at frequent intervals by Scottish kings
Fix this textas royal residence. There, in 1165, d*
Fix this textMalcolm the Maiden, and from there many
Fix this textcharters were issued by David I (1124-1153),
Fix this textby William the Lion (1165-1214) and by
Fix this textAlexander II (1214-1249). Because o' its
Fix this textstrength Jedburgh was a constant bone of con-
Fix this texttention, and the town was taken and retaken
Fix this textby forces of the two nations. Ultimately, n
Fix this text1409, the Scots themselves destroyed the castre,
Fix this textfor they resolved that ii they could not hold it
Fix this textpermanently neither would the invading armies.
Fix this textThe Abbey stands upon a site which was
Fix this textoriginally occupied by a church founded in the
Fix this textninth century by tire Bishop of Lindisfarne, who
Fix this textdied in a.d. 845. This was succeeded by a
Fix this textpriory founded in 1118 by David I, and by the
Fix this textyear 1147 it had become an Abbey. There, in
Fix this text1285, was married Alexander 111 to a daughter
Fix this textof the Count of Dreux. During the stormy
Fix this textdays of the thirteenth century Jedburgh Abbey
Fix this textwas sacked, partially destroyed and the lo ad
Fix this textstripped from its roof>. In 1523 it was o. a-
Fix this textbarded by the invading forces of the Earl of
Fix this textSurrey, and in 1544 it was again sacked by
Fix this textraiders under the Earl of Hertford. Built of
Fix this textred sandstone, the massiveness of its walls
Fix this textpreserved the Abbey from total destruction, and
Fix this textit exists today as a fine example of Early
Fix this textEnglish and Norman styles of architecture.
