Alnwick

Alnwick was a place in Scotland.

In 1447, during the Scottish Border Wars, Scotland achieved a minor victory over England in Alnwick. When a Scottish warlord accidentally fell down a well in the ensuing celebrations Iris Wildthyme helped him climb out, and beat him in a caber tossing contest the next day. An oil painting was painted depicting Iris and the warlord, and was called "Posing with a Scottish warlord". (PROSE: Iris at the V&A)
