Alnwick is a town in Northumbria.
History
On November 13th, 1093, in order to "punish" Robert de Mowbray for his "insufficient loyalty" to William Rufus, Malcolm III burnt the town of Alnwick to the ground... believing only peasants would perish, nobody important, and "lessons learned". But de Mowbray used Malcolm's atrocity as an excuse to move against him, resulting in the Battle of Alnwick. ("Fools Rush In...")
