In 603 Aethelfrith, the Anglian King of Bernicia defeated Aiden, the Scots King of Dalriada, and a host of Strathclyde Britons, at Dawstone, close to the Ninestane rig, further extending Anglian lands...
This war-cry is a rare survival of that 7th century North Anglian dialect, being preserved in a local song of the Hawick Common riding. Whilst the tune you hear probably belongs to 16th century Scotland, another version of Tyribus is believed to survive in Germany, where it is also considered one of the earliest and most treasured songs, dating to the Dark ages. Rings are available in both Sterling silver and gold. Telephone 01450 850 237 for details. |
