Against this "wedge" KingDavid would have sent his men-at-arms, but the half-naked men of Gallowaydemanded their right to lead the attack. "No one of these in armour willgo further to-day than I will, " cried a chieftain of the highlands, andthe king yielded. But their fierce attack was in vain against the "ironwall"; they only shattered themselves. David's son Henry made a gallantthough badly executed attempt to turn the fortunes of the day, but thisfailed also, and the Scottish army was oblig...ed to withdraw defeated toCarlisle. There was little pursuit, but the Scottish loss was heavy, andgreat spoil of baggage and armour abandoned in their hasty retreat wasgathered by the English. David did not at once give up the war, but thecapture of Wark and a few border forays of subordinates were of noinfluence on the result. The great danger of a Scottish conquest of thenorth or invasion of central England was for the present over.
In a general balance of the whole year we must say that the outcome wasin favour of Stephen.
