Fortunes and Fights Beset Hume Castle Siege
From Edenburgh reports describe a February march by Col. Feswick and forces after a hard siege. Captains Newman and Audferth relay terms of surrender, hostages, and prize goods. The governor’s garrison, including a captain, a lieutenant, an ensign, sergeants, and soldiers, yield with the governor praising mercy. News of division among opposing factions, Murray and Lefly plots, Jermyn’s Holland letters, and a lawless Ballenden Knight figure emerge as tensions rise along the campaign toward Berwick and Fife.
