date:- 1576

descriptive text:- Froissart 1325-1400 -- presumably relevant

Froissart, John, Sir
... Northumberland, ... through which there runneth a river full of flint and great stones, called the Water of Tyne. And on this river standeth the town and castle of Carlisle, the which sometime was king Arthur's, and held his court there oftentimes. Also on that river is assised the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, ... the Scots could not enter into England, but they must pass this said river in one place or other. The Englishmen could hear no tidings of the Scots till they were come to the entry of the said country. The Scots were passed this river so privily, that they of Carlisle nor yet of Newcastle knew nothing thereof, for between the said towns it was twenty-four English mile [leagues in the original].
