DESCRIPTION
of
their
originall
from
the
comming
of
GATHELVS
,
their
Progenitour
out
of
Graecia
into
Egypt
,
and
of
their
Kings
and
Gouernours
in
Spaine
,
Ireland
,
and

with
a

Chronologie
of
all
their

King
of
Scotland
,
vnto
his
sacred
Maiestie
,
now
happily
reigning
ouer
all
Great
Britaine
,
Ireland
,
and
all
the
Isles
to
them
appertaining
.
GATHELVS
son
of
CECROPS
,
King
of
ATHENS
,
by
his
insolence
made
many
inuasions
,
in
Macedonia
,
and
Achaia
,
in
Graecia
.
And
because
he
could
not
suffer
correction
,
he
with
many
valiant
Grecians
came
into
Egypt
,
&
followed
Pharao
in
his
warres
against
the
Aethiopians
;
who
with
great
cruelty
had
wasted
the
most
part
of
Egypt
,
vnto
Memphis
the
principall
citie
of
that
Realme
;
Pharao
with
support
of
Gathelus
vanquished
and
ouercame
the
Aethiopians
in
a
most
dangerous
battell
.
And
Gathelus
valiantly
vanquished
and
wanne
their
principall
citie
called
Meroe
.
After
this
great
victory
,
he
being
a
lusty
person
,
strong
of
body
,
and
of
a
great
spirit
,
wan
great
fauour
with
the
King
and
his
familiars
,
that
the
Kings
daughter
SCOTA
was
giuen
in
marriage
vnto
Gathelus
,
with
many
lands
.
Shortly
after
Pharao
died
,
and
another
Pharao
succeeded
;
who
opprest
the
Israelites
with
great
seruitude
and
tyranny
.
Gathelus
abhorring
such
cruelty
,
conferring
with
MOYSES
;
also
hauing
respons
of
the
Oracles
of
Egypt
,
was
foreseene
of
the
plagues
to
come
vpon
Egypt
,
made
prouision
for
all
things
necessary
for
sayling
,
and
tooke
shipping
with
his
wife
Scota
,
his
valiant
Grecians
,
and
many
Egyptians
from
the
riuer
Nilus
,
the
yeare
of
the
world
2453.
After
long
sayling
and
trauell
he
arriued
at
the
land
of
Numidia
,
being
stopped
to
land
,
he
pulled
vp
sailes
,
and
with
dangerous
and
painfull
passage
through
the
Straites
,
he
landed
in
one
part
of
Spaine
then
called
Lusi●…nia
,
by
his
arriuall
called
Portgathel
,
now
Portingall
:
at
his
landing
the
olde
inhabitants
came
against
him
with
arrayed
battell
,
whom
he
vanquished
.
He
builded
one
Citie
vpon
the
riuer
Munda
,
then
called
Brachare
,
now
called
Barsolona
.
Then
after
he
came
into
the
North
part
of
Spaine
,
now
called
Gal●…ia
;
where
he
builded
a
citie
called
Brigance
,
now
Compostella
,
where
he
reigned
with
Princely
dignity
,
and
instituted
lawes
,
and
named
his
people
Scottes
,
after
his
wife
Scota
:
for
she
had
born
vnto
him
two
sonnes
twinnes
,
HIBER
and
HEMICVS
.
He
brought
with
him
from
Egypt
the
marble
fatall
chaire
,
which
was
transported
to
Ireland
,
and
to
Albion
,
now
called
Scotland
;
wherein
all
their
Kings
were
crowned
,
vntil
the
time
of
King
Edward
the
first
,
who
transported
the
whole
ancient
regall
monuments
of
Scotland
,
with
the
marble
fatall
chaire
to
Westminster
,
where
it
remaineth
to
this
day
:
The
Scots
shall
brooke
that
Realme
,
as
natiue
ground
,
(
If
words
faile
not
)
where
euer
this
chaire
is
found
:
Gathelus
sitting
in
his
marble
chaire
within
this
citie
of
Brigance
,
gouerned
his
people
with
Princelydignity
peaceably
,
and
instituted
lawes
.
And
seeing
his
people
encrease
with
such
great
multitude
,
and
not
willing
to
violate
the
bande
,
made
with
the
old
inhabitants
,
being
informed
by
diuers
expert
explorators
,
that
there
was
an
Isle
opposite
to
Spaine
on
the
North
,
with
a
rude
people
inhabited
,
hauing
no
lawes
nor
manners
.
Therefore
he
brought
all
the
shippes
he
could
get
with
expedition
to
the
next
Sea
port
,
with
sufficient
prouision
,
with
Hiber
and
Hemicus
,
accompanied
with
valiant
warriours
,
and
ordeyned
Hiber
to
be
Admirall
to
passe
the
said
Isle
,
which
they
obeyed
:
&
hoisting
sayles
with
fortunate
windes
,
arriued
the
fift
day
after
in
the
said
Island
.
Immediately
landing
,
their
people
then
pitched
their
Tents
on
the
next
trenches
.
The
rude
inhabitants
amazed
at
the
arriuing
and
landing
of
such
a
multitude
of
warriours
,
fledde
with
their
cattell
and
goods
into
their
Cauernes
.
Hiber
commaunding
certaine
of
his
warriours
to
passe
forth
;
and
if
the
inhabitants
would
bee
willingly
subdued
,
no
slaughter
to
be
committed
vpon
them
.
The
inhabitants
being
brought
as
prisoners
to
the
Admirall
,
and
seeing
him
mercifull
,
rendred
themselues
and
their
goods
:
and
he
receiued
them
with
such
beneuolence
,
that
he
suffered
the
olde
inhabitants
to
encrease
with
his
people
,
vnder
one
name
and
lawe
,
and
called
the
land
Hibernia
,
now
Ireland
.
Hiber
returning
into
Spaine
,
left
his
brother
Himecus
with
a
strong
garrison
of
valiant
warriours
,
with
wiues
and
children
to
inhabite
the
land
,
and
to
holde
the
same
vnder
obedience
and
subiection
.
At
his
returne
into
Spain
his
father
being
deceased
,
he
succeeded
King
,
and
augmented
his
Empire
,
and
conquered
sundry
lands
from
the
Spaniards
,
hauing
with
him
at
all
times
a
strong
guard
of
valiant
men
.
By
his
puissance
and
ch●…alrie
he
subdued
the
people
in
such
manner
,
that
he
was
holden
in
great
estimation
and
reuerence
,
that
they
were
constrayned
to
seeke
his
peace
;
the
land
being
named
after
Hiber
,
Hiberia
:
the
Scots
and
olde
inhabitants
grew
vnder
one
name
and
bloud
with
such
tender
and
friendly
beneuolence
(
not
remembring
of
old
iniuries
)
each
one
willing
to
defend
his
neighbour
(
as
well
in
peace
as
warres
)
as
his
brother
or
father
.
Of
Hiber
descended
by
long
progression
,
a
great
posterity
lineally
succeeding
,
amongst
whom
were
many
noble
and
famous
Kings
;
howbeit
the
whole
number
of
them
are
not
extant
.
HIMECVS
gouerned
Ireland
in
great
felicity
iustice
,
and
tranquility
,
both
the
Scots
and
the
olde
inhabitants
during
his
life
time
.
Immediatly
after
his
decease
,
arose
an
odious
controuersie
betweene
the
Scottes
and
the
olde
inhabitants
for
the
gouernement
,
euery
nation
contending
to
haue
a
gouernour
of
their
owne
blood
,
which
contention
enduring
long
time
,
at
last
they
created
two
Gouernors
,
betweene
whom
was
continuall
battels
and
great
slaughter
on
eyther
side
,
through
ambition
and
burning
desire
to
be
sole
Gouernor
of
all
Ireland
.
After
long
and
dangerous
battels
,
the
two
people
broken
with
sundry
displeasures
,
were
constrained
to
take
peace
;
howbeit
the
same
endured
but
a
short
time
,
each
one
of
them
pursuing
other
with
battell
;
and
yet
they
dwelt
many
yeares
together
,
by
enterchange
of
peace
and
warres
,
while
at
the
last
the
Scots
suffering
many
iniuries
,
sent
their
Embassador
to
METELLIVS
,
who
was
then
King
of
the
Scottes
in
Spaine
,
desiring
to
haue
support
against
the
old
inhabitants
of
Ireland
,
declaring
them
to
be
a
rude
wilde
people
,
impatient
to
suffer
any
Empire
aboue
them
;
So
that
the
Scots
can
haue
no
tranquility
,
vnlesse
the
said
people
were
the
more
speedily
tamed
and
subdued
.
This
foresaid
message
was
the
more
acceptable
to
the
King
Metellius
:
for
it
concerned
the
Common-wealth
both
of
the
Scots
nation
in
Spaine
and
Ireland
,
descending
(
by
long
progression
)
of
our
lineage
and
blood
,
and
willingly
satisfying
the
aforesaid
Ambassadours
request
,
trusting
the
same
to
be
no
lesse
honour
and
glory
to
himselfe
as
profite
to
his
friends
.
Therefore
the
King
sent
his
three
sonnes
HERMONEVS
,
PTOLOMEVS
,
and
HIBERT
with
a
great
Armie
of
valiant
men
into
Ireland
,
where
they
with
right
dangerous
battels
vanquished
the
olde
inhabitants
,
and
brought
them
vnder
subiection
.
Hermonens
returning
into
Spaine
,
left
his
two
brethren
to
gouerne
the
land
,
who
gouerned
the
same
long
time
after
in
great
tranquility
and
iustice
,
ins●…ituting
lawes
,
and
instructed
the
Priests
to
make
insence
and
sacrifice
in
the
same
manner
as
the
Egyptians
vsed
:
so
both
the
people
encreased
many
yeares
in
great
felicity
,
peace
and
riches
during
the
Gouernement
of
Ptolomeus
and
Hibert
,
and
long
after
their
decease
.
But
too
great
prosperity
engendreth
euill
maners
,
and
causeth
men
to
worke
often
displeasures
vpon
themselues
,
finding
no
forraigne
enemies
to
inuade
them
at
home
.
The
people
after
long
peace
were
diuided
for
the
gouernement
,
contending
for
the
same
with
great
rigour
and
slaughter
on
both
sides
,
vntill
the
one
had
almost
vtterly
destroyed
the
other
,
if
they
had
not
been
reconciled
by
a
noble
man
,
named
Thanaus
,
principall
Ambassadour
,
sent
by
the
King
,
then
raigning
ouer
the
Scots
in
Spaine
(
reioycing
of
the
felicity
succeeding
to
his
friends
)
and
to
cause
them
by
his
prudent
consultation
,
to
encrease
together
vnder
one
minde
.
Thanaus
being
a
prudent
man
,
bearing
nuturall
affection
to
both
the
parties
,
perswading
them
at
sundry
conuentions
to
remoue
all
contention
,
and
to
elect
one
(
whom
they
thought
most
expedient
)
to
be
their
King
,
and
to
be
obedient
to
him
in
all
their
gouernment
.
Through
this
perswasion
the
whole
people
had
such
feruent
desire
to
haue
one
King
,
that
all
olde
iniuries
being
forgotten
,
they
appointed
Thanaus
to
elect
a
King
,
whom
he
thought
most
expedient
)
and
hee
seeing
their
mindes
willing
to
haue
a
nuturall
King
,
declaring
to
them
that
there
is
in
Spaine
a
noble
Prince
of
great
seuerity
and
iustice
,
named
SIMON
BREK
,
well
accustomed
with
your
lawes
,
and
lineally
descended
from
the
ancient
King
Metellius
,
whom
he
thought
most
fittest
to
be
their
King
.
The
whole
people
hearing
the
name
of
SIMON
BREK
,
were
well
content
to
haue
him
their
King
,
because
that
name
was
esteemed
very
fortunate
in
those
dayes
.
Then
after
with
consent
of
the
whole
people
,
Ambassadours
were
sent
into
Spaine
,
to
request
the
said
Simon
to
come
into
Ireland
,
to
be
their
King
.
Hee
knowing
by
graue
aduisement
the
intent
of
the
Ambassadours
,
prouid●…d
a
great
Fleete
of
Ships
with
all
things
necessary
,
and
finally
by
prosperous
windes
arriued
in
Ireland
,
where
hee
was
solemnly
receiued
,
and
crowned
in
the
chaire
of
Marble
,
which
he
brought
out
of
Spaine
,
esteemed
as
a
most
rich
jewel
in
those
dayes
;
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
3314.
From
the
floud
of
Noah
1658.
From
the
building
of
Rome
102.
Before
the
birth
of
Christ
651.
He
reigned
with
great
felicity
peaceably
forty
yeares
,
being
specially
counsailed
by
the
aforesaid
Thanaus
,
to
whom
he
gaue
sundry
lands
,
lying
in
the
South
part
of
Ireland
,
beside
the
riuer
Birsus
,
which
lands
are
now
called
Dowdall
,
where
hee
dwelt
with
the
people
he
brought
with
him
out
of
the
famous
citie
Brigance
,
now
called
Compostella
.
They
were
called
Brigandes
;
of
whom
after
by
processe
of
time
descended
many
valiant
and
noble
men
,
who
came
with
Fergusius
the
first
King
in
Scotland
,
by
whom
al
the
lands
now
called
Galloway
,
were
then
called
Brigance
,
whose
inhabitants
were
euer
full
of
manhood
and
strongest
enemies
against
Romanes
,
Britaines
,
and
Pickes
:
Simon
deceased
,
his
sonne
FANDVF
succeeded
King
:
after
Fanduf
succeeded
ETHION
:
after
Ethion
succeeded
GLAVCVS
:
after
Glaucus
succeeded
NATHASIL
:
after
Nathasil
succeeded
Rothesay
.
ROTHESAY
was
the
first
King
that
brought
Scots
with
him
into
Albion
.
The
first
Isle
that
he
inhabited
he
called
after
his
owne
name
Rothesay
,
the
remanent
Isles
were
called
Hebredes
:
after
Hiber
the
eldest
sonne
of
Gathelus
.
Rothesay
hearing
the
death
of
his
father
Nathasil
,
returned
into
Ireland
,
and
was
there
crowned
King
.
The
yeare
that
Scots
were
brought
out
of
Ireland
into
Albion
,
was
from
the
Empire
of
Simon
Brek
in
Ireland
216.
yeares
:
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
3530.
The
Scots
spread
in
sundry
parts
of
Albion
,
lying
farre
North
,
and
inhabited
many
Isles
.
The
first
part
that
they
tooke
possession
of
was
named
Ardgael
,
from
Gathelus
,
which
now
is
called
Ardgile
.
They
being
diuided
into
sundry
Tribes
,
elected
certaine
Captaines
to
euery
Tribe
,
to
gouerne
them
both
in
peace
and
warre
,
hauing
the
name
of
their
Captaine
in
great
reuerence
,
swearing
by
their
names
;
which
custome
was
long
obserued
in
those
Isles
and
the
high
lands
.
Then
after
about
150.
yeares
,
a
banished
people
named
Pickes
,
came
forth
of
Denmarke
to
search
a
dwelling
place
,
and
after
they
were
inhibited
to
land
in
Fraunce
,
Britaine
,
and
Ireland
.
They
landed
in
Albion
,
first
in
Orknay
,
of
olde
called
the
olde
Realme
of
the
Pickes
.
The
Seas
betweene
Orknay
and
Caithnes
is
called
Pentland
Firth
,
&
the
lands
now
called
Loutheane
(
was
of
old
called
Pentland
)
after
the
name
of
the
Pickes
.
Then
after
they
came
into
Caithnes
,
Ros
,
Murray
,
Merms
,
Angus
,
Fiffe
and
Loutheaue
,
and
expelled
all
the
olde
inhabitants
.
They
were
a
Ciuill
people
right
ingenuous
andcrafty
both
in
peace
and
warres
.
After
their
planting
in
the
aforesaid
parts
,
they
elected
a
King
to
gouerne
them
,
and
hold
them
in
iustice
,
and
made
great
policy
in
building
of
munitions
,
townes
,
and
Castles
.
And
because
they
knew
all
people
,
without
issue
to
succeede
,
should
perish
,
they
sent
their
Ambassadours
to
the
Scots
,
to
haue
their
daughters
in
marriage
,
shewing
(
though
they
were
of
strange
blood
)
they
should
not
be
so
smally
regarded
,
seeing
they
with
no
lesse
prudence
then
manhood
haue
sustained
incredible
dangers
both
by
Sea
and
land
.
And
now
lately
conquered
(
through
the
beneuolence
of
the
Gods
)
right
plenteous
lands
with
such
peace
and
tranquility
,
that
no
other
people
may
claime
them
by
reason
:
Trusting
surely
(
if
the
Gods
support
them
)
by
their
owne
industry
to
be
equall
to
any
their
neighbors
,
both
in
peace
and
warre
.
Further
if
the
Scots
condescended
to
their
honourable
desires
,
it
might
be
they
encreasing
together
(
so
strong
vnder
one
bloud
)
that
they
might
resist
the
fury
of
their
enemies
the
better
,
when
it
hapned
them
to
be
inuaded
.
This
Ambassage
was
not
pleasant
to
the
Scots
at
the
first
,
thinking
it
vnworthy
to
haue
any
society
or
marriage
with
an
vnknowne
and
banished
people
:
but
by
graue
aduisement
,
and
being
profoundly
resolued
,
and
finding
themselues
as
yet
not
able
to
resist
the
force
of
the
Britaines
their
olde
enemies
,
they
determined
to
giue
their
daughters
to
the
Pickes
in
marriage
,
and
to
haue
a
band
of
peace
with
them
,
with
conditions
that
euery
one
of
them
shall
enioy
the
lands
which
perteyned
vnto
them
before
the
marriage
,
and
to
concurre
together
with
their
whole
puissance
,
as
oft
as
they
were
inuaded
by
enemies
.
Any
that
did
offence
to
any
of
them
should
be
reputed
as
enemy
to
them
both
.
And
as
often
as
the
Crowne
of
the
Pictes
should
come
in
question
for
lacke
of
an
heire
,
the
King
to
be
elected
of
the
neerest
of
the
womans
bloud
.
These
conditions
accepted
on
all
sides
,
the
Scots
gaue
their
daughters
in
marriage
to
the
Pictes
.
The
Britaines
suspecting
this
marriage
,
and
dreading
the
encreasing
of
this
confederate
people
vnder
one
bloud
in
short
time
,
that
neyther
might
the
Britaines
for
the
time
present
,
nor
their
posterity
resist
the
puissance
of
these
two
vnited
people
.
Therfore
being
minded
to
destroy
them
both
,
and
to
inuade
them
with
fraudulent
sleights
,
rather
then
with
any
force
of
battell
.
And
sending
their
Ambassadorus
to
the
Pictes
,
allured
the
Pictes
to
violate
their
band
with
the
Scots
.
By
great
perswasion
&
crafty
dealing
of
the
Britains
,
the
band
was
dissolued
;
&
mouing
occasion
of
battel
against
the
Scots
,
commanded
by
general
edict
,
no
Scots
to
be
found
in
their
bounds
at
a
prefixed
day
,
vnder
paine
of
death
.
The
day
being
expired
,
all
Scots
within
their
bounds
were
killed
without
mercy
,
as
breakers
of
their
lawes
.
The
Scots
impatient
to
sustai●…e
such
iniuries
,
killed
as
many
of
the
Pictes
;
so
there
followed
continuall
killing
and
murder
on
all
sides
,
not
regarding
affinity
,
bloud
,
time
,
nor
pl●…ce
.
In
this
manner
the
peace
dissolued
,
the
Pictes
denounced
battell
to
the
Scots
:
then
after
followed
continuall
incursions
and
inuasions
on
eyther
parties
.
The
Scots
assembling
in
Ardgiel
,
were
sufficiently
resolued
,
that
the
battell
that
they
were
to
holde
,
was
not
onely
against
the
Pictes
,
but
also
against
the
Britaines
.
Therefore
it
was
agreed
,
to
send
their
Ambassadors
to
their
ancient
progenitors
and
friends
in
Ireland
,
to
haue
their
support
and
counsaile
in
this
most
dangerous
matter
,
and
for
that
plurality
of
Captaines
(
as
often
occurreth
)
raiseth
sedition
:
the
best
is
to
elect
one
to
haue
Empire
aboue
the
rest
,
by
whose
manhood
and
counsaile
,
they
might
defend
their
liues
and
liberties
,
against
a
false
and
periured
people
,
inuading
them
without
any
occasion
.
The
Ambassadours
being
directed
to
Ireland
,
complained
of
the
wicked
offence
done
by
the
Pictes
,
and
desired
support
.
FERQVHARDVS
(
then
being
King
of
the
Scots
in
Ireland
)
greatly
moued
for
the
displeasure
done
to
his
friends
in
Albion
,
sent
his
sonne
.
FERGVSIVS
a
wise
and
valiant
Prince
,
with
many
valiant
souldiers
,
and
to
giue
them
the
more
esperance
,
and
assurance
of
permanent
and
good
fortune
,
hee
sent
with
them
the
fatall
Marble
chaire
.
Fergusius
was
the
more
pleasantly
receiued
by
the
Scots
of
Albion
,
because
their
Common-wealth
approched
to
great
danger
,
by
a
most
perillous
apparant
battell
.
Then
after
a
Councell
was
called
in
Ardgiel
,
where
Fergusius
made
a
large
Oration
,
and
acceptable
Speech
.
Therefore
by
graue
consultation
,
they
condiscended
to
be
gouerned
by
Empire
of
one
King
,
as
well
in
peace
as
in
any
trouble
appearing
against
their
enemies
.
Furthermore
to
remoue
all
suspition
of
hatred
(
because
euery
Tribe
desired
,
a
King
of
their
owne
linage
)
they
elected
Fergusius
,
both
for
his
noble
bloud
,
and
other
his
excellent
vertues
,
to
be
their
King
:
moreouer
he
was
so
approued
in
martiall
deedes
and
iustice
,
that
no
Captaine
of
the
Tribes
might
be
any
wayes
compared
vnto
him
.
FERGVSIVS
the
first
King
of
Scots
(
in
Albion
,
now
called
Scotland
)
sonne
to
Ferquhard
King
of
Ireland
,
was
crowned
in
the
fatall
Marble
Chaire
,
which
hee
brought
with
him
(
by
respons
of
the
Gods
)
to
establish
his
reigne
in
Scotland
.
The
yeare
from
the
creation
of
the
world
3641.
Before
the
comming
of
Christ
330.
In
the
first
yeare
of
the
112.
Olimpiade
.
In
the
421.
yeare
after
the
building
of
Rome
,
about
the
beginning
of
the
third
Monarchy
.
When
Alexander
the
great
vanquished
Darius
the
last
Monarch
of
Persia
,
in
the
reigne
of
Chimarus
King
of
Britaine
,
the
King
employed
his
whole
minde
to
resist
the
iniury
of
this
battell
,
moued
by
the
Pictes
;
hee
calling
all
the
Captains
,
ordeyned
them
to
be
prepared
with
forty
dayes
prouision
.
To
passe
with
him
,
he
made
an
greement
and
concord
amongst
all
his
Nobles
and
Captaines
,
commanding
his
people
to
be
obedient
to
their
Captaines
,
hee
making
sacrifice
to
his
Gods
(
as
the
custome
was
)
praying
the
Gods
to
take
vengeance
of
the
partie
that
was
the
first
occasion
of
battell
against
other
,
and
to
graunt
him
such
felicity
in
his
iust
defence
;
that
victory
might
succeed
to
him
without
any
great
damage
of
his
people
.
The
Picts
assembled
an
army
,
wich
many
Britaines
concurring
to
their
support
,
appear'd
on
eyther
side
a
wicked
&
vnnatural
battel
between
two
confederate
people
,
friends
,
fathers
and
sonnes
.
The
Pictes
came
first
i●…o
the
Scots
lands
;
against
whom
with
no
lesse
courage
then
manhood
,
the
King
with
his
valiant
Scots
,
with
auncient
armes
displayed
in
forme
of
a
Banner
,
in
which
was
a
●…dde
Lion
Rampant
in
a
fielde
of
golde
,
whilst
the
Scots
and
Pictes
were
in
array
in
each
others
fight
:
the
armie
of
Britaines
stood
in
array
also
,
deuising
what
way
they
might
destroy
them
both
,
with
f●…me
purpose
when
the
Scots
and
Pcties
were
vanquished
,
the
one
by
the
other
,
that
the
party
victorious
should
vtterly
bee
destroyed
by
their
fresh
army
:
and
when
both
these
peoples
were
destroyed
by
this
fleight
,
the
Britaines
might
enioy
both
their
Realmes
in
Albion
,
without
any
impediment
.
This
subtill
sleight
was
discoured
to
King
Fergusius
by
a
banished
Britaine
,
through
which
both
the
armies
moued
no
lesse
by
feare
of
enemies
,
then
by
their
own
proper
damage
,
prolonged
the
battell
certaine
dayes
.
King
Fergusius
desiring
communication
with
the
King
of
Picts
,
who
willingly
with
some
of
his
Nobles
,
had
communication
a
long
time
together
,
after
long
conference
,
and
deliberate
consultation
with
their
Counsellors
on
both
parties
,
and
ruefull
crying
of
the
Pictes
wiues
,
being
the
Scottes
daughters
,
peace
was
finally
concluded
,
betweene
the
two
confederate
people
,
vnder
these
conditions
,
redresse
of
all
iniuries
,
being
made
on
all
parties
.
The
Britaines
(
mouers
of
this
battaile
)
shall
be
reputed
enemies
to
them
both
;
all
other
charges
to
be
at
the
pleasure
and
will
of
the
two
Kings
.
And
when
any
enemy
occurred
,
that
they
and
their
people
should
conioine
together
,
vnder
one
minde
and
ordinance
.
This
peace
being
more
strongly
corroborate
,
the
Kings
returned
home
.
King
Fergusius
in
a
most
dangerous
battell
,
assisted
by
the
Pictes
,
vanquished
the
Britains
,
which
time
King
Coyl
or
Chimarus
(
vnwatily
kept
by
his
Nobles
)
was
killed
in
the
land
after
his
name
then
called
Coyll
,
now
Kyle
in
Scotland
.
After
this
victory
the
King
called
his
whole
Nobles
and
Subiects
to
a
general
conuention
;
and
hee
making
a
large
and
plausible
Oration
and
speech
,
the
Nobles
and
Subiects
condiscended
and
agreed
,
that
King
Fergusius
and
his
posterity
should
possesse
the
Crowne
of
Scotland
;
whereupon
Charters
and
Euidences
were
graunted
to
him
and
his
sucessors
for
euer
.
The
Kingdome
of
Scotland
being
confirmed
to
King
Fergusius
,
his
heyres
and
successors
,
with
deliberate
counsell
of
his
Nobles
,
he
diuided

The

raised
in
great
esperance
of

by
the

had
no
little
confidence
in

chiualry
:
King

went
forward
with
his
whole
power
,
against
the

ensued
a
dangerous
and
doubtfull

hearing
of

)
changed
his

,
hoisted

,
leauing
behinde

richly
rewarded
by

,
returned
with
the
Scots
army
;
at

the

then
followed
such
loue

that
it

.
The
Britaines
(
moued
with
vaine
arrogancy
)
refused
to
haue
any
supply
of
Scots
or
Pictes
:
Iulius
returning
into
Britaine
,
was
three
sundry
times
put
backe
,
but
at
the
last
Cassibilian
was
vanquished
,
and
his
whole
valiant
Captaines
taken
or
killed
,
and
his
lands
made
to
pay
three
thousand
pound
of
siluer
to
the
Romanes
for
tribute
.
Iulius
sendeth
his
Ambassadours
to
the
Scots
and
Pictes
,
offering
them
conditions
of
peace
two
seuerall
times
.
They
were
resolute
to
remaine
free
,
not
to
be
subiect
,
and
refusing
all
conditions
of
peace
,
were
willing
to
defend
their
liues
and
liberties
.
Iulius
being
minded
to
inuade
the
Scots
and
Pictes
,
was
aduertised
of
a
suddaine
vprore
in
Fraunce

for
which
cause
he

The
season
of

being
expedient
to
raise
their
armie
,
the
Nobles
not
consenting
thereunto
for
the
great
slaughter
lately
made
on
their
King
and
Nobles
;
therefore
the
King
conuenting
all
his
Nobles
,
perswading
them
that
hee
had
greater
matters
to
propound
.
By
solemne

a
Clubbe

each

holding
in

a

did
shew
they

God
to
the
Princes

Nobles
of
Scotland

to
cause
them
to
obey
the

that
the

thereof
shall
be
brought
to
such
extermination

,
each

declaring
their

(
all
being

concluded
firmely
the

to
be
no
fantasie
,
but
an
heauenly
vision
;
assuring
them
of
victory
and
felicity
,
reuealing
the
same
to
the
King
,
who
assured
them
that
the

vision
appeared
to
him
the
samehoure
(
howbeit
he
would
not
first
reueale
it
)

his

taken
the
aduantage
,
as
he
had
done
in
the
wrongfull
Conquest
of

(
he
being
chosen
by
the
Nobles
as
indifferent
Iudge
,
and
further
sent
word
vnto
King
Edward
,
that
(
if
God
fortunate
him
to
liue
)
he
purposed
to
holde
his
Easter
in
England
:
and
comming
with
an
armie
of
thirty
thousand
valiant
men
into
England
at
the
appointed
time
,
King
Edward
was
readie
with
an
army
of
threescore
thousand
vpon
Staines
Moore
to
giue
them
battell
.
Being
ready
to
ioyne
,
the
Englishmen
drew
backe
,
hauing
at
that
time
no
lust
to
fight
,
as
appeared
:
the
Scots
seeing
them
draw
backe
would
haue
followed
,
but
Wallace
fearing
deceit
,
stayed
them
and
returned
(
with
infinit
spoyle
and
booties
gotten
in
that
iourney
)
into
Scotland
.
King
Edward
being
aduertised
that
Wallace
was
greatly
enuied
by
the
Cunings
,
&
Robert
la
Bruse
,
raised
a
great
armie
,
and
came
to
Falkirke
,
and
Wallace
not
knowing
of
any
deceit
,
raised
a
great
armie
to
resist
being
in
sight
of
Englishmen
,
there
began
a
great
contention
for
the
leading
of
the
Vantguard
,
and
by
their
owne
misgouernance
,
many
Noblemen
were
killed
,
Robert
Bruse
was
against
the
Scottishmen
that
day
.
Shortly
then
after
Wallace
came
,
and
renounced
in
Perth
the
Gouernement
,
and
also
refused
great
and
large
offers
of
King
Edward
,
to
be
his
subiect
,
and
true
man
:
Iohn
Cuning
and
Simon
Froser
being
admitted
Gouernours
,
King
Edward
sent
a
great
armie
to
Perth
,
subduing
the
countrey
.
The
aforesaid
Gouernours
raised
an
armie
of
eight
thousand
valiant
men
.
King
Edward
sent
with
Ralph
Comfray
thirty
thousand
men
,
deuiding
them
in
three
armies
,
to
passe
in
three
sundry
parts
through
the
countrey
and
to
meete
at
Rosling
.
The
Gouernours
aforesaid
,
encountring
with
the
first
ten
thousand
defeated
them
,
and
so
at
three
sundry
times
in
one
day
the
Scots
obtained
the
victory
:
King
Edward
impatient
hereof
,
gathered
a
mighty
army
of
sundry
nations
,
and
subdued
with
great
cruelty
the
most
part
of
the
Scottish
nation
.
About
this
time
was
Willam
Wallace
traiterously
betrayed
by
Sir
Iohn
Menteith
at
Glascoe
,
and
deliuered
King
to
Edward
,
and
being
brought
to
London
,
was
cruelly
executed
in
Smithfield
.
King
Edward
accusing
Robert
Bruse
of
a
contract
made
betwixt
him
and
Iohn
Cumyng
,
and
he
straitly
denying
the
same
was
aduertised
by
the
Earle
of
Glocester
,
of
the
kings
displeasure
,
causing
a
Smith
to
shoe
his
horses
backward
in
the
Winter
,
the
ground
being
couered
with
snow
he
came
into
Scotland
,
howbeit
he
was
sharply
pursued
,
and
mee●…ng
with
his
brother
and
some
friends
,
and
being
aduertised
that
the
Cumyng
was
in
the
Friers
at
Dumfreis
.
After
hard
commoning
,
he
suddenly
killed
him
,
wherethrough
hee
purchased
many
enemies
,
both
English
men
and
Scottish
men
,
and
was
hardly
pursued
(
especially
by
the
Cumyngs
being
then
very
potent
and
rich
,
and
a
great
number
of
them

somewhat
of

Of

kept

in

,
vntill
the
time
of
Donald
brother
to
King
Malcolme
the
third
,
who
gaue
them
to
the
King
of

,
vpon
condition
that
he
should
assist
him
,
in
vsurping
of
the
Kingdome
of
Scotland
,
against
law
and
reason
.
The
Danes
and
Norway
people
kept
possession
of

the
space
of
160.
yeares
:
and
then
King
Alexander
the
third
,
ouercomming
the
Danes
and
Norway
men
in
a
great
battell
,
thrust
them
out
of
the
Iles
:
yet
afterward
they
attempted
to
recouer
their
libertie
,
partly
,
trusting
to
their
owne
strength
;
and
partly
,
mooued
by
seditions
in
the
maine
land
of
this
Countrey
,
creating
Kings
of
themselues
,
as
not
long
ago
,
Iohn
(
of
the
house
of
Clandonald
)
did
vsurpe
the
name
of
King
,
as
others
had
done
before
.
In
foode
,
raiment
,
and
all
things
pertaining
to
their
family
,
they
vse
the
ancient
frugalitie
of
the
Scots
.
Their
bankets
are
hunting
and
fishing
.
They
seeth
their
flesh
in
the
tripe
,
or
else
in
the
skinne
of
the
beast
,
filling
the
same
full
of
water
.
Now
and
then
in
hunting
,
they
straine
out
the
bloud
,
and
eate
the
flesh
raw
.
Their
drinke
is
the
broth
of
sodden
flesh
.
They
loue
very
well
the
drinke
made
of
whey
,
and
kept
certaine
yeeres
,
drinking
the
same
at
feasts
:
It
is
named
by
them
,
Blandium
.
The
most
p●…rt
of
them
drinke
water
.
Their
custome
is
to
●…ake
their
bread
of
Oates
&
Barly
,
(
which
are
the
onely
kinds
of
graine
that
grow
in
those
parts
:
)
Experience
(
with
time
hath
taught
them
to
mak
it
in
such
sort
,
that
it
is
not
vnpleasant
to
eat
.
They
take
a
litle
of
it
in
the
morning
,
&
so
passing
to
the
hunting
,
or
any
other
businesse
,
content
themselues
therewith
,
without
any
other
kind
of
meat
til
euen
.
They
delight
in
marled
clothes
,
specially
,
that
haue
long
stripes
of
sundry
colours
:
They
loue
chiefly
purple
&
blew
.
Their
predecessors
vsed
short
mantles
or
plaids
of
diuers
colours
,
sundry
wayes
deuided
:
and
amongst
some
,
the
same
custome
is
obserued
to
this
day
:
but
for
the
most
part
now
,
they
are
browne
,
most
neere
to
the
colour
of
the
Hadder
:
to
the
effect
,
when
they
lie
amongst
the
Hadder
,
the
bright
colour
of
their
plaids
shall
not
bewray
them
:
with
the
which
,
rather
coloured
,
then
clad
,
they
suffer
the
most
cruell
tempests
that
blow
in
the
open
field
,
in
such
sort
,
that
vnder
a
wrythe
of
Snow
,
they
sleepe
sound
.
In
their
houses
also
,
they
lie
vpon
the
ground
,
laying
betwixt
them
and
it
,
Brakens
,
or
Hadder
,
the
rootes
thereof
downe
,
and
the
tops
vp
,
so
prett●…ily
laid
together
that
they
are
as
soft
as
feather-beds
,
&
much
more
wholesome
:
for
the
tops
themselues
are
dry
of
n●…ture
,
whereby
it
dries
the
weake
humours
,
and
restores
againe
the
strength
of
the
sinewes
troubled
before
,
and
that
so
eu●…dently
,
that
they
,
who
at
euening
goe
to
rest
sore
and
weary
,
rise
in
the
morning
whole
and
able
.
As
none
of
these
people
care
for
feather-beds
and
bedding
,
so
take
they
greatest
pleasure
in
rudenesse
and
hardnesse
.
If
for
their
owne
commoditie
,
or
vpon
necessity
,
they
trauell
to
any
other
Countrey
,
they
reiect
the
feather-beds
and
bedding
of
their
Host.
They
wrap
themselues
in
their
owne
plaids
,
so
taking
their
rest
:
carefull
indeed
,
lest
that
barbarous
delicacy
of
the
maine
Land
(
as
they
tearme
it
)
corrupt
their
naturall
and
Countrey
hardnesse
.
Their
armour
wherewith
they
couer
their
bodies
in
time
of
warre
,
is
an
Iron
Bonnet
,
and
an
Habbergion
,
side
almost
euen
to
their
heeles
.
Their
weapons
against
their
enemies
,
are
bowes
and
arrowes
.
The
arrowes
are
for
the
most
part
hooked
,
with
a
barble
on
either
side
,
which
once
entered
within
the
body
,
cannot
be
drawne
forth
againe
,
vnlesse
the
wound
bee
made
wider
.
Some
of
them
fight
with
broad
swords
and
axes
.
In
place
of
a
drum
they
vse
a
bag-pipe
.
They
delight
much
in
musicke
,
but
chiefly
in
Harpes
and
Clairschoes
of
their
owne
fashion
.
The
strings
of
the
Clairschoes
are
made
of
brasse-wire
,
and
the
strings
of
the
Harpes
,
of
sinewes
:
which
strings
,
they
strike
either
with
their
nailes
,
growing
long
;
or
else
with
an
Instrument
appointed
for
that
vse
.
They
take
great
pleasure
to
decke
their
Harpes
and
Clairschoes
with
siluer
and
precious
stones
:
and
poore
ones
,
that
cannot
attaine
heerevnto
,
decke
them
with
Cristall
.
They
sing
verses
prettily
compounded
,
containing
(
for
the
most
part
)
prayses
of
valiant
men
.
There
is
not
almost
any
other
argument
,
whereof
their
rimes
entreat
.
They
speake
the
auncient
language
,
altered
a
little
