The Scot- tish court was the nearest and most natural refuge for those Eng- lishmen who w^ould not yield to the strangers. Thither they flocked in great numbers, and there they found a hearty welcome. Among these exiles came Eadgar the ^theling, the representative of the W^est-Saxon kings, and with him his mother and his two sisters, Margaret and Christina. Malcolm received them very kindly, and they stayed with him all the winter. In the beginning of his reign ]\Ialcolm had invaded England, wh...ere Eadward the Con- fessor was then king, and had wasted the shires of York and Northumberland while the earl was gone on a pilgrimage to Rome. He now made a second raid of the same sort, although, when William held his court at York two years before, he had sent in his nominal homage to him by the Bishop of Durham. This time he went on behalf of the yEtheling, and harried the districts of Cleveland and Durham, which had already been wasted by William. His progress was marked by every species of cruelty ; neither churches nor children were spared, and the Scots brought back so many captives that Engiisli slaves were to be found even in the 258 SCOTLAND 1066-1002 very poorest households.
