The DNB entry for Robert Lambe describes him as a man of 'eccentric disposition', whose chief work was 'An Exact ... History of the Battle of Flodden ...' This is said to be published from a manuscript in the possession of John Askew of Pallingsburn, Northumberland; the notes, especially those on etymology, are numerous and very curious ... Percy, in the preface to his 'Reliques', mentions Lambe as one who had been of service to him'.
