Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Mark 'Twixt Tyne and Tweed, Vol. 3 of 3 But little information has come down to us respecting the early days of a learned but eccentric country parson - Robert Lambe, m.a., vicar of Norham. It is believed that he was a native Of Durham, born there a year or two before the accession Of the first George to the English throne. But Of his parents, their names, and position in life, no record has been preserved. Educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took his Arts degrees, he was preferred to a minor Canonry in Durham Cathedral, and, in 1747, obtained the curacy of South Shields, being then about thirty-six years of age. Within a few weeks from the date Of this appointment, the Dean and Chapter living of Norham became vacant, and it was conferred upon him. In October, 1747, he migrated from the southern harbour town Of the Tyne to the charming village in which Nor ham's castled steep, and Tweed's fair river broad and deep, form a picturesque retreat for a contemplative mind. At Norham his history may be said practically to begin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Mark 'Twixt Tyne and Tweed, Vol. 2 of 3 Lord Dacre, at this time, resided chiefly in Northumberland, occupying, as occasion served, his castles of Morpeth and Harbottle, and keeping a watchful eye upon events across the Border. While so employed, he was able to be Of service to the widowed Queen Of Scotland, Whose position in the sister kingdom had become critical and perilous. In less than a year after her husband's death She had secretly married the Earl Of Angus, and, being deprived of sovereign power upon the discovery thereof, She prepared to fly to her brother the king Of England for protection. Lord Dacre received her in September, I 515, at his castle Of Harbottle, where, within a few days after her hasty arrival, she was prematurely deliveredof a child, known in after times as Margaret Douglas, mother Of Lord Darnley, the unfortunate husband Of Mary Queen Of Scots. Dacre sent the news Of her confinement to the brother of his royal guest, Henry VIII., and consulted him as to her removal, as soon as She con veniently may, after her grace have sought the Church for her thanksgiving. By easy stages, resting at Cartington and Brinkburn, the Queen was taken to Morpeth Castle, which Dacre had grandly decked for her reception, and there remained till the beginning of April, when, accompanied by her host, she set forward on her journey to the English Court. Arriving in Newcastle on the 8th of the month, She was received by the Mayor, Roger Dent, and the following day crossed the Tyne on her way to London. Just before her departure, Dacre had been appointed one Of three commissioners to renew the truce with Scotland, and, after taking leave Of his royal guest, he met the Scottish representatives in London, and thus ful filled his mission.
