Note 730 — Chapter V · GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET AND STEPHEN OF BLOIS. 1128–1139.

Æthelred Riev. De Bello Stand. (Twysden, X. Scriptt.), col. 342. His account of the quarrel for precedence and its consequences makes one think of the Macdonalds at Culloden. Ric. Hexh. (Raine, p. 92), says the “Picti” were in the van; Joh. Hexh. (ib. p. 119), calls them “Scotti”—both meaning simply what at a later time would have been called “wild Highlanders,” i.e. in this case men of Galloway. Hen. Hunt. puts the Lothian men in front, but he is clearly wrong.
