 The outcome is described in the "Brut or the Chronicles of England", the fullest contemporary source for the battle;

So many clerics were slain in the encounter that it became known as the 'Chapter of Myton'.Barbour gives the English loss as 1,000 killed, including 300 priests, but the contemporary English Lanercost Chronicle says that 4,000 Englishmen were killed by the Scots, while another 1,000 were drowned in the River Swale.Nicholas Fleming was among those killed.
