Willem of Carlisle who was the son of the moneyer Herebald who coined at Carlisle for Stephen, the king of Scots & the Earl of Northumbria, his son. The roundness and the rather light impression are typical of Carlisle at this period, and point to some refinement of the normal crude technique. The silver used here was local, the moneyer being also lessee of the Alston mine.
