1322. A general rendezvous of the king's forces was ordered to be at Newcastle on the Feast of the Holy Trinity . A rendezvous was also ordered to be at the same place on the eve of St. Luke, this year, which was prevented by an incursion of the Scots into England, who penetrated as far as Yorkshire, and nearly took the king of England prisoner. They are said to have besieged Newcastle on this occasion, but met with a vigorous repulse.
