But as Master Harison hath gathered hee raigned in the dayes of the Emperour Aurelius Claudius Doorus the brother of Athirco coâ—â—yeth himselfe out of the way Doorus the brother of Athirco vnderstaÌ„ding of the death of his brother disguised himselfe in beggers weede for doubte of death and went into Pictlande with .iij. of his Nephewes sonnes to the same Athirco whose names were Sindock Carance and Donald Howebeit Natholocus hauing knowledge whither he was fled Natholocus seeketh the life of Doorus sent forth certaine of his seruants with coÌ„maundement to searche him out commaunding furthermore very straightly that if they founde him they should dispatch him out of life for feare of further mischiefe But they that were sent finding one in all features proportioÌ„ of body resembling Doorus slew the one in steede of the other so returning home to their Master they made him very ioyfull of y e newes although in deede they came not neare to Doorus Then Natholocus causing the estates of the Realme to assemble he handled the mater in such wise by disswading theÌ„ to choose any of Athircos bloud to raigne ouer theÌ„ for doubt least they should seeke any meanes how to reueÌ„ge his death that in the ende Natholocus is chosen to be king this Natholocus was elected himself more by force than by any coÌ„mon coÌ„sent of the nobles for diuers of them doubting y e craftie nature whiche they knew to be in him wished rather that the issue of Athirco hauing deserued nothing why to be defrauded of y e kingdome saue only in respect of the fathers offences might haue enioyed that whiche of right they ought to haue had that is either one of theÌ„ to be king or els some neare kinsman of theyrs to raigne as king til the eldest of them might come to sufficient yeares to beare the rule himselfe BVt Natholocus beyng once proclaymed king by the multitude Natholocus and Athircos bloud attaynted of treason and so published according to the custome he tooke the othes of those that were present Natholocus goeth vnto Dunstafage to be â—â—â—sed and then repayred vnto Dunstafage there to be inuested according to the manner This done hee called suche aside as he suspected and talking with them alone hee exhorted them to be faithfull Natholocus seeketh to procure loue of the nobilitie through bribes promising to be theyr assured good Lorde and Maister and for an earnest thereof he gaue vnto diuers of them very great rewardes Generally vnto all men he shewed himselfe very gentle and tractable thereby to winne their loues for the better establishment of his newe atchieued estate And hereto he employed suche riches as the former kings had heaped togither amongst the Nobles studying by all meanes to auoyde all seditious quarels and secrete discordes amongst them Thus â—â—ling the realme at his will for certaine yeares Fortune fauoring Natholâ—…cus for a 〈◊〉 began to chaunge couÌ„tenance at length fortune began to shewe a chaunge of countenance after hir olde accustomes guile For Doorus the brother of Arthirco whom as ye haue heard Natholocus supposed to haue bene dead wrote certaine letters signifying his owne estate with the welfare of his Nephewes the children of Athirco vnto certaine Scottishe Lordes Doorus wryteth vnto certaine Scottish lords to moue them to rebelâ—â—â— whome hee knewe to fauour his cause Whiche letters hee deliuered vnto a Pictishe woman appoynting hyr how and to whome she shoulde deliuer the same but the woman apprehended by the way and brought vnto Natholocus hee caused hyr secretely to be sacked and throwen into a riuer Afterwardes sending for suche of the Nobles as the direction of the foresayde letters had giuen him occasion to haue in some suspâ—â—ion Natholocus putreth such to death as he suspecteth to fauour Doorus he committed them first to pryson and at length caused them to be secretely strangled A rebellion against Natholocus Whiche wicked deede being once notified abroade moued so the hartes of theyr friends and alies that they procured the people to rebell and so gathering them togither they raysed open and cruell warres against him Natholocus enformed of their determinations withdrewe himselfe priuily into Murray lande there to get togither an armie to resist his enimies and for that he was desirous also to vnderstande somewhat of the issue of this trouble Natholocus sendeth vnto a witche to know the conclusion of his enimies attemptes he sent one of his trustie seruaunts being a gentleman of that countrey vnto a woman that dwelt in the Isle of Colmkil otherwise called Iona esteemed very skilfull in foreshewing of things to come to learne of hyr what fortune should happe of this warre whiche was already begunne 252. H. B. This chaunced in the yeare of our Lord .280 and in the .xj. yeare after the first entring of Natholocus into the estate The Lordes of the realme assemble togither to choose a new king After Natholocus was thus dispatched the peeres asseÌ„bled togither to ordeyne for y e gouernment of the realme where in the ende it was amongst them concluded that the sonnes of Athirco should be sent for into Picteland and Findock receiued for king The sonnes of Athirco are sent for the eldest of them named Findock chosen to raygne The Morauian that slew Natholocus was appointed to fetch them who according to his commission comming into Pict lande conueyed them right honorably into Argile where Findocke beyng already chosen king was placed on the stone of marble with all the ceremonies in that case appertayning The leagues with the Brytaines Findock obserueth the leagues confirmed of former tymes with his neybours Those of the out Isles inuade the couÌ„treys of Rosse and Murray lande Pictes and Romains hee firmely obserued But as peace with forrayne enimies breedeth ofttimes ciuill discorde at home so came it then to passe with him at this present for one Donald of the Isles a noble man borne came ouer with an armie into Rosse and Murray land fetching from thence a great spoile bootie not without great slaughter of suche as
in the committing of that moste detestable murder Some wyser than other Finally suche was his ouer earnest diligence in the inquisition and triall of the offendours herein that some of the Lordes began to mislike the mater The mater suspected and to smell foorth shrewed tokens that he shoulde not be altogither cleare himselfe but for so much as they were in that countrey where hee had the whole rule what by reason of his frendes and authoritie togither they doubted to vtter what they thought till time and place shoulde better serue therevnto and herevpon got them away euery man to his home Prodigious weather For the space of .vj. moneths togither after this haynous murder thus committed there appeared no sunne by day nor Moone by night in any parte of the realme but stil was the skie couered with cōtinual clowdes and sometimes suche outragious windes arose with lightnings and tempestes that the people were in great feare of present destruction Calene IN the meane time Culene prince of Cumberland the sonne as I haue sayde of king Indulph accompanied with a great number of Lordes and Nobles of the realme came vnto Scone there to receyue the crowne according to the maner The king asked the cause of the foule weather The bishops answere vnto the king but at his comming thither he demaūded of the Bishops what the cause should be of such vntemperate weather Who made answere that vndoubtedly almightie God shewed himselfe thereby to be offended moste highly for that wicked murther of king Duffe and surely onlesse the offendours were tried foorth and punished for that deede the realme shoulde feele the iust indignation of the deuine iudgement for omitting suche punishment as was due for so greeuous an offence The king required publike prayers to be had Culene herevpon requyred the bishops to appoint publike processiōs fastings and other godly exercises to be vsed of the priestes and people through all parties of the realme for the appeasing of Gods wrath in this behalfe and in suche sorte and maner as in semblable cases the vse and custome in those dayes was The king made an othe Hee himselfe made a solemne vowe confirming it with a like othe before all the peeres and nobles there assembled that he woulde not ceasse till he had reuenged the death of king Duffe vpon the false inhabitauntes of Murrayland to the ensample of all other The king wēt with an armie into Murray lande The multitude being present getting them to armure followed their prince taking his iourney without further delay towardes Murrayland the inhabitauntes of whiche region hearing of his approch and the cause of his cōming were stryken with exceeding feare but namely Donewalde beyng giltie in conscience A gilty conscience accuseth a man doubted least if he were put to torture he should be enforced to confesse the truthe wherevpon without making his wyfe priuie to his departure or any other of his family saue a fewe suche as he tooke with him he secretely got him to the mouthe of the ryuer of Spey where finding a shippe ready he wente a borde the same Donewalde getteth him secretly away purposing to haue fledde his wayes by sea into Norway for this is the peculiar propertie of a giltie conscience to be afrayde of all things and eyther in gesture or countenaunce to bewray it selfe accompting flight moste sure if occasion may serue thereto For this Donewalde The murther of the king is reueled whome no man though some partely suspected him might wel haue burdened with the crime of his Masters death by reason of his faithfull seruice shewed towardes him afore time had he not thus sought to haue auoyded the countrey was now detected of manifest treason euery man detesting his abhominable facte and wishing him to be ouerwhelmed in the raging floudes so to pay the due punishment whiche of right hee ought for his vile treason in murthering his naturall Lorde Culene being hereof aduertised The castell of Fores is taken and all the inhabitāts slain passed ouer Spey water and taking the castell of Fores slew all that he founde therein and put the house to sacke and fire Donewaldes wife with his three daughters were taken for Culene commaunded that who so euer coulde light vpon them shoulde in any wise saue theyr liues and bring them vnto him Whiche beyng done The murder is wholy confessed hee had them to the racke where the mother vpon hyr examination confessed the whole mater how by hyr procuremēt chiefly hyr husbād was moued to cause the deede to be done who they were that by his commaundement did it and in what place they had buried the bodie Here woulde the multitude haue runne vpon hyr and torne hyr in peeces but that they were restrayned by commaundement of an officer at armes The king with the residue for that night rested themselues and in the morning tooke order for prouision of all things necessarie to take vp the bodie of king Duffe King Duffe his body to be taken vp and then to conuey it vnto Colmekill there to be buried amongst his predecessours But as they were busie here about Donewald is taken prysoner woorde came that the traytour Donewalde was by shipwracke caste vpon the shore within foure miles of the Castell as though he were by Gods prouision brought backe into his owne countrey to suffer woorthy punishment for his demerites Wherevpon the inhabitaunts of the places next adioyning tooke him and kepte him fast bound till they knewe further of the kings pleasure who right gladde of the newes sente forth immediatly a bande of men to fetche him They that were sent did as they were commaunded and beyng vnneth returned there came in diuers Lordes of Rosse Donewaldes foure seruaunts were taken also bringing with them Donewaldes foure seruaunts whiche as before is sayde did execute the murder Thus all the offendours beyng brought togither vnto the place where the murder was bothe contriued and executed they were arrayned condemned and put to death in maner as followeth to the great reioycing of the people that beheld the same They were firste scourged by the hangman Donewalde with his confederates are executed and then bowelled their entrailes being throwen into a fire and brente the other partes of theyr bodies were cut into quarters and sent vnto the chiefest Cities of the realme and there set vp alofte vpon the gates and highest towers for ensample sake to all suche as should come after how haynous a thing it is to pollute theyr handes in the sacred bloud of theyr prince This dreadfull end had Donewald with his wife before he saw any sunne after the murder was committed and that by the appointment of the most rightuous God the creatour of that heauenly planet and all other things who suffereth no crime to be vnreuenged Rewardes giuen vnto the takers of those murderers Those that were the takers of the murderers were
