 352 THE MAIDEN "WAY. follower of Gospatric the Great, and he and his son Gilles opposed Hubert de Valliljiis. to whom the Baroii}' of Gilsland had been given b}- Ivandolph de Meschines, wlio was Lord of Cumberland by a grant from the Conqueror. Denton proceeds to state that, " Attempting sometliing afterwards for the recovery of his ancient right, of which it seems he was dispossessed, he was banished into Scotland. In King Stephen's time, when the Scots were let into Cumberland, he took that opportunity to incite as man}'- as he could, to assist him to recover his estate in Gilsland from Hubert de Vallibus ; and it seems, notwithstanding the alliances and other obligations which Hubert had laid upon the inhabitants to bind them to him, they took part with Gilles Beueth as the right heir." After the death of Hubert de Vallibus, his son llobert entered into the Barony of Gilsland, and enjoyed the same, but yet not so, but that Gilles Beueth still continued to give him disturbance, by making frequent incursions into his ancient patrimony, and wasting that part of the country in revenge, whereupon a meeting for agree- ment was ai)pointed Ijetween them under trust and mutual assurance of safety to each other, at which conference Robert de Vallibus basely assassinated the unarmed Gilles Beueth, thus settling all claims to his ill-gotten lands, which, however, were not permitted to descend to his posterity, for his only child died before him. It appears from this, that the Lords of Bcwcastle claimed at least a part of the Barony of Gilsland, and we may not be greatly in error if we }>resume that this said part so claimed was this district, which has so long retained the name of Wuleva, and wlrfcli may have originally belonged to the ancient station of (lalava.^ •" The recent discuvtry at Heweastle <jf quaries wlio inuy iKsire fnrther pvidcnce part of nil altar to Jupiter Dolicliemis lias on tliis ciiriniis sulijcot of Uoiiiaii inytlio- ix-eii ineiitioiiecl as claimiiii,' the attention lo;;y, it may lie aceeptalile to lie informed, of arcliieoloj^iMtH, llorhli-v j,'ave an altar that a iletaileil memoir on the rii/lit.i of thuH inncrihiMl, found at Hiiiwell on the Dolielienus has lici^n j;iven liy M.
