The way to the storm

Well you the rising of the North happen in November and well that mean we got many months of logs before the fighting actually started. Let us look into the first half of the year. In which thing seem to have been rather godawful.

Here two link for cecil papers and the foreign Calendar for the part  in question. 

At Cecil 1248, you can see that Hunsdon divert the letter by the Queen of Scott sending them to Cecil. Otherwise most of what he is going through his instruction and report of his daily activities. At 1259 and 1260 the regent put give him the good word. Though he complain about how the defensense are piss poor (1269). He also complain that they are too Scotsmen in his territory, with his solution to the issue being to alllow those that work for the crown to stay, while the rest be banish, this going at the same time as proclamation that made it quite illegal to criticise the queen.  he seem to have some legal trouble . At 1282, you can see he's actually showing concern toward his niece and nephews now that their mother is dead.

in the foreing calendar at 116, you can see he's talking about some disease he calls the Hyves and how the smallpox is submerging the place and at 262 ( may 19), talk about how the treasurer and the marshall are missing and now everything  on him and the very next month think he won't see them again (292)
