"Battle of the Standard: properly trained Norman knights - God has chosen them to punish the Scots. Arouse your spirits then, ye civilized warriors, and, firmly relying on the valour of your country, nay, rather on the presence of God, arise against these most unrighteous foes,and let not their rashness move you, besides your forefathers, when but few in number, have many a time conquered multitudes.

Any keenness of the Scots yielded to the will of the Galwegians:
casual slaughter of unsalable encumbrances - "For the sick on their couches, women pregnant and in childbed, infants in the womb, innocents at the breast, or on the mother's knee, with the mothers themselves, decrepit old men and worn-out old women, and persons debilitated from whatever cause, wherever they met with them, they put to the edge of the sword, and transfixed with their spears; and by how much more horrible a death they could dispatch them, so much the more did they rejoice."
The battle began horrible Galwegians
