3/24 None of the nobles now remained in arms. Comyn and all his adherents surrendered upon promise of their lives and freedom, and that they should retain their estates, subject to a pecuniary fine. All the nobles of Scotland were included in this capitulation, save a few who were condemned to suffer temporary banishment. Sir William Wallace alone was by name specially exempted from the surrender. The religious houses of St.Andrews, Brechin, and other churches were stripped of lead for the engines. |
