| 338 | In old Scottish law High Kings were elected by a national assembly of c h i e f t ains and religious leaders. In 1034, the 30 year old Duncan MacCri n a n w a s e lected High King of Scotland (or Alba as it was called then). A s H i g h K i ng, Duncan soon became unpopular. His most unpopular move was t o f i g h t w ars in both the south in Northumbria and in the north against T h o r f i nn of Orkney at almost the same time. In Northumbria, he sent repe a t e d c a valry charges against the fortified walls of Durham. Onces the S c o t t i sh cavalry was destroyed in this way the city troops counter attac k e d a n d k illed thoussands of the Scottish infantry. Ducan MacCrinan ret r e a t e d from Northumbria leaving the heads of his massacred troops impal e d a r o u nd the walls of Durham. MacCrinan then combined his remaining me n w i t h t h e defeated troops commanded by his nephew Moddan. Moddan army w a s i n r e t reat itself after being forced to withdraw from Caithness and S u t h e r land by Thorfinn. The High King attacked Thorfinn at sea while M o d d a n w as to attack by land. While awaiting reinforcements from Iriish m e r c e n aries, Moddan force attacked was while they slept and destoryed. D u n c a n 's fleet of eleven ships was defeated at sea by Thorfinn and chase d i n t o t h e Moray Firth. While Duncan escaped inland, two Orkney fleets r a m s h a cked the costal settlments. On August 14, 1040, HIgh King Duncan o n c e a g a in attacked Thorfinn only to be once again defeated. After this d e f e a t , the ruling clans of Scotland had enough of Duncans expansionism a n d i n a b ility to rule or command. A group of them headed by MacBeth di s p o s e d of Duncan and MacBeth was eleted as the New High King. | MacCrinan, High King of Scotland Duncan (I7865)

There w e r e t h r ee justiciars for Scotland, one each for Scotia, Lothian, and Ga l l o w a y, and they were tasked with dispensing all justice in the king's n a m e a n d d etermining all crown pleas other than the "most solemn and hig h - r a n king" ones.

| 340 | In the spring of 1637 a group of London merchants formed a company to e s t a b l ish a successful commercial settlement in the New World. On 26 Jun e o f t h a t y ear, Mr. Thomas Gregson was part of a group that arrived in B o st o n l o oking for a site to settle. Reportedly they were given enticing o f f e r s w hile in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but on 30 March 1638 the c o m p a n y sailed from Boston and settled at Quinnipiac, site of the presen t c i t y o f N ew Haven, Connecticut. They purchased land from the Indians. Thomas Gregson served in a number of positions during the period that h e r e s i d ed in New Haven, including treasurer, deputy to the General Cour t [ l e g i slature], magistrate, and as commissioner for the New Haven Colo ny t o a t t e nd a meeting of the v a a r ious colonies held in Boston in S ept em b e r 1 643. The Articles of Confederation adopted at that meeting, s om e t i m es called the New England Confederation, created the United Colon i e s o f N e w England. This is considered to be the first "constitution" c r e a t e d in the New World and some of its features were adopted in writin g t h e C o n stitution of the United States. An attempt by the merchants to establish a trading post at the mouth of t h e D e l a ware River resulted in major losses and almost impoverished the N e w H a v e n Colony. In an attempt to recoup these losses, a new venture wa s p r o p o sed to ship goods directly to England. A ship apparently was bui lt i n N e w H a ven, but the name is unknown and it has been called "The Gr eat S h i p p e." Even though the weather was not favorable for sailing, the t ow n s p e ople were impatient for it to sail for England and it left in Jan u a r y 1 6 45/6. It was never heard from again, with Thomas Gregson, as the a g e n t f o r the New Haven Colony, and the others on board being lost at se a .

| 349 | Inscription In 1677, John Grubb (1652-1708) came from Stoke Climsland, C o r n w a ll and settled on the Delaware River at "Grubb's Landing."

| 350 | Iorwerth Hirflawdd was an ancestor of various medieval rulers in mid Wa l e s . H i s epithet means 'long trouble', but nothing is known of how he a c q u i r ed it, nor otherwise of his life. Nothing is known certainly of his life, but he must have lived in the m i d 9 t h c e ntury. Elystan Glodrydd (died c.1010), who is regarded as the f o u n d e r of the fifth Royal Tribe of Wales, was seventh in descent from h i m . H e a l so appears near the head of a dynasty of Arwystli, where he is n a m e d a s s on of Tegonwy ap Teon. Tegonwy also appears in the genealogy o f B l e d d yn ap Cynfyn, who was the ancestor of the later Princes of Powys . B l e d d yn's claim to rule came from his father Cynfyn, being a Powys no bl e m a n , Interim King of Powys and maternal grandson of the former King C a d e l l . | ap Tegonwy, Iorwerth Hirflawdd (I9673)
