I. 

Is  the  latter  part  of  the  fourteenth  centuiy,  John  objbm  *bd 
of  Fordun,  a  priest  of  the  diocese  of  St  Andrews,  wobk. 
and  chaplain  of  the  church  of  Aberdeen,  compiled  john^iTor- 
the  first  formal  history  of  Scotland    He  did  not^'"'' 
live  to  complete  it    He  left  behind  him  the  first 
five  books  of  his  history,  bringing  it  down  to  the 
death  of  David  the  First,  and  the  materials  for  the 
rest  of  his  history  arranged  by  himself,  the  last  date 
in  which  is  1385.    Between  the  years  1420  and 
1424,  Andrew  of  Wyntoun,  a  canon-regular  of  St 
Andrews,  and  prior  of  iJie  monastery  of  St.  Serf's 
Inch,  in  Loch  Leven,  wrote  his  "  Orygynale  Cronykil 
"  of  Scotland."    He  does  not  appear  to  have  known 
of  Fordun's  history  ;  but  not  long  after,  in  the  year 
1441,  Walter  Bower,  or  Bowmaker,  Abbot  of  Inch- 
colm,  wrote  a  continuation  of  Fordim's  history, 
bringing  it  down  to  the  year  1437,  in  which  he 
not  only  added  the  history  of  the  additional  period 
to  the  death  of  James  the  Firsts  but  interpolated 
the  five  books  composed  by  Fordun  with  additional

matter,  and  styled  the  whole  work  the  "  Scoticro- 
"  nicon."  The  work  was  now  made  public,  and 
numeroua  copies  of  it  were  made,  and  transcripts 
preserved,  in  the  principal  religious  houses,  which 
became  known  under  the  name  of  the  "Book  of 
"  Paisley,"  the  "  Book  of  Scone,"  the  "  Book  of 
"  Cupar,"  the  "  Chronicle  of  Icobnkill,"  etc.  In  some 
of  these  copies,  the  continuation  bears  to  be  by  two 
other  writers ;  viz.,  Patrick  Russell,  a  Carthusian 
monk  of  the  monastery  of  Charter-house  in  Perth, 
and  Magnus  MBcCuUoch,  who  was  secretary  to  Wil- 
liam Schevez,  Archbishop  of  Sfc  Andrews ;  but 
although  these  names  are  attached  to  some  of  the 
continuations,  they  are  all  in  substance  that  com- 
piled by  Walter  Bower.^ 
LewJing  The  leading  features  of  the  early  history  of  Scot- 

4^™iB^^"' land,  as  told  by  Fordim  in  his  five  books,  are 
these  :  The  Scots  derived  their  origin  from  Gaythe- 
los,  son  of  Neolus,  king  of  Greece,  who  went  to  Egypt 
in  the  days  of  Moses,  where  he  married  Scota, 
daughter  of  Pharaoh,  king  of  Egypt,  and  led  the 
Scots  from  thence  to  Spain.  From  this  country 
several  colonies  went  to  Ireland,  the  last  under 


'Thereare  twenty -one  Has.  of  the 
"  S<!oticroDicoD "  rtill  preserved, 
Aod,  besides  the  imperfect  copy 
printed  in  Oale'a  "Scriptures,"  vol. 
ilL,  two  separate  prioted  editions, 
one  by  Thomas  Heame  in  1T22,  the 
text  of  which  is  taken  from  a  H3.  in 
Trinity  College,  Cambridge,  whioh 
appears  to  contain  the  work  as 
Fordun  left  it ;  and  another  by 


Walter  Goodall  in  1769,  taken 
mainly  from  the  Edinbiu^  OcH- 
Uge  MB.,  which  contains  Bower's 
additions.  A  new  edildon  of  For- 
dim,  from  a  collation  of  all  the 
Hss.,  and  discrimiiiating  between 
the  original  text  aod  the  additions 
of  the  different  continnatora, 
wonld  be  a  great  boon  to  the 
Soottash  historian.

Symon  l^k,  son  of  the  king  of  Spain,  who  brought 
the  marble  chur  on  whidi  the  kings  were  crowned 
to  Ireland,  and  under  his  great-grandson,  Ethachius 
Bothay,  the  Scots  passed  over  into  Scotland,  and 
gave  the  name  of  Scotia  to  that  part  of  the  island 
formerly  called  Albion.  Some  time  after,  the  Ficts 
settled  in  Scotland,  and  married  wivM  of  the 
Scots.  In  the  year  330  before  the  Christian  era, 
the  Scots,  who  had  come  over  from  Ireland  and 
settled  in  Scotland,  elected  Fergus,  the  son  of 
Ferehard,  their  ting,  who  brought  over  from 
Ireland  the  marble  chair,  and  whose  kingdom 
extended  from  the  sea  and  the  Western  Isles  to 
Dnimalban.  His  great^randson  Beth^  brought 
another  colony  of  Scots  from  Ireland,  and  united 
them  with  the  Scots  inhabiting  the  islands  and 
mainland  of  Scotland.  In  the  year  203  after 
the  Christian  era,  the  Scots  were  converted  to 
Christdauity,  and  in  the  year  360,  Eugenius,  king 
of  the  Scots,  was  slain  by  the  Ficts  and  Britons,  and 
the  Scots,  under  his  brother  Ethodius,  and  Erth 
the  son  of  Ethodiut^  were  driven  by  them  out  of 
tiie  country  and  expeUed  to  Ireland.  Immediately 
after,  the  relics  of  St.  Andrew  are  brought  to  Scot- 
land and  received  by  Hm^^arst,  king  of  the  Ficts. 
In  the  year  403,  the  Scots  return  under  Fergus,  the 
son  of  Erth,  and  occupy  Ergadia  Fordun  states, 
that  from  Fergus,  son  of  Ferehard,  there  reigned 
forty-five  kings  over  the  Scots,  but  he  does  not  give 
the  names  of  any  of  them,  except  the  two  above  men-

tioned.  From  Fei^us,  the  son  of  Erth,  he  gives  a 
successioD  of  kings  down  to  Kenneth  Macalpin, 
who  led  the  Scots  out  of  Ergadia,  conquered  and 
destroyed  the  Picts,  and  became  monarch  of  the 
whole  of  Scotland  ;  and  he  then  ^ves  ihe  reigna  of 
the  kings  of  Scotland  &om  Kenneth  Macalpin  to 
David  the  First 
EitMittowhiQh  In  the  year  1729,  Thomas  Innes,  a  priest  of  the 
SciL^iTt^  Scotch  CoUege  at  Paris,  published  his  critical  essay 
print*i  oji  tije  ancient  inhabitants  of  Scotland.  This  ad- 
mirable essay  was  the  first  attempt  to  subject  the 
early  history  of  Scotland  prior  to  the  reign  of 
Kenneth  Macalpin,  as  given  by  Fordun,  to  a  critical 
examination,  and  to  bring  such  £ragment8  as  re- 
mained of  the  more  ancient  Chronicles  of  Scotluid 
to  bear  upon  it ;  and,  in  the  appendix  to  the  first 
volume,  he  printed  six  ancient  pieces,  which  were 
then  for  the  first  time  made  public.  Four  of  these 
were  taken  &om  the  MS.  in  the  Imperial  Library 
at  Paris,  called  the  Colbertine  us.,  viz.,  the  "  Pict- 
"  ish  Chronicle,"  which  he  divided  into  two  pieces 
(No.  I.) ;  the  "  Description  of  Scotland  "  (No.  xvn.) ; 
and  the  "  Chronicle  of  the  Scots  "  (No.  xvi.)  ;  the 
fifth  was  the  "  Chronide  of  the  Picts  and  Scots," 
in  the  register  of  the  priory  of  St  Andrews 
(Ko.  XXIX.)  ;  and  the  sixth  was  the  "  Chroni- 
con  Rhythmicum"  (No.  xLvi.)  John  Pinkerton, 
in  hifl  Inquiry  into  the  History  of  Scothmd,  first 
published  ia  1789,  printed  a  collation  of  the  first 
four  pieces  which  had  been  pubhshed  by  Innes,  and 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PREFACE.  xiii 

added  to  them  the  "  Legend  of  St  Andrew "  (No. 
iviii.)  ;  the  "Metrical  Prophecy"  from  the  Col- 
bertine  ms.  (No.  xi.)  ;  the  "  Legend  of  St.  Andrew," 
from  the  register  of  the  priory  of  St.  Andrews 
(No.  xxxl)  ;  .and  three  pieces  which  had  been  fur- 
nished to  him  by  Charles  O'Connor  of  Belnagare,  viz., 
the  "  AJbanic  Duan"  (No.  vi.) ;  the  extracts  from  the 
"  Annals  of  Ulster"  (No.  XLVin.) ;  and  a  very  inac- 
curate copy  of  part  of  the  Irish  Nennius  (No.  T.  D.) 
The  publication  of  the  ancient  "  Irish  Annals"  by 
Doctor  O'Connor  in  1812,  made  the  text  of  these 
valuable  docmnents  accessible  to  the  public;  and  in 
the  "  Collectanea  de  rebus  Albanlcis,"  published  by 
the  lona  Club,  a  collection  of  extracts  from  these 
Irish  annalists  were  printed  along  with  a  better 
text  and  translation  of  the  "  Albanic  Duan  ;"  and 
a  aeries  of  extracts  from  the  Norse  Sagas  of  all 
passages  bearing  upon  the  early  history  of  Scotland. 
In  1848  the  Irish  version  of  Nenniua  was  published, 
with  a  translation  and  copious  note^  by  the  Irish 
Archfleological  Society,  and,  in  that  work,  various 
tracts  bearing  upon  the  early  history  of  Scotland, 
contained  in  the  Irish  usa.,  were  brought  to  light ; 
and  in  the  works  printed  for  the  Bannatyne  and 
Maitland  Clubs,  several  short  cbroniclee,  contained 
in  MS8.  in  the  British  Museum,  were  contributed 
from  time  to  time  by  the  Rev.  Joseph  Stevenson ; 
bat  these  are  accessible  only  to  their  members. 
.  Such  is  the  extent  to  which  the  ancient  chronicles  pi>n  of  t 
and  other  early  memorials  of  Scottish  history  have    °

already  been  published ;  but  the  field  is  by  no  means 
exhaufited.  There  still  r^uain  a  considerable  number 
in  Mas.,  which  have  never  yet  been  published,  while 
the  text  of  those  contained  in  the  foregoing  works 
is,  to  a  considerable  extent,  either  not  strictly  accu- 
rate, or  not  printed  £:om  tiie  b^t  Mss.  When 
the  series  of  the  Scottish  Becord  Publications 
was  projected,  it  was  suggested  by  the  late  Dr. 
Joseph  Robertson,  under  whose  superintendence  the 
publication  was  placed,  that  the  series  should  com- 
mence with  a  vdume  in  which  the  whde  of  these 
scattered  pieces  should  be  collected  together,  and 
printed  after  careful  collation  with  the  original  uss., 
and  that  as  many  more  documents  should  be  added 
to  them  as  still  existed  in  ms.,  so  as  to  form  a  com- 
plete collection  of  the  early  Chronicles  and  Memo- 
rials of  Scotland,  prior  to  the  works  of  Fordun  and 
Wyntoun.  As  it  was  proposed  to  include  in  this  col- 
lection such  materials  as  could  be  found  in  Irish  and 
Welsh  MSS.,  for  which  some  knowledge  of  the  Celtic 
dialects  was  indispensable,  the  present  Editor  was 
requested  to  imdertake  the  task.  Though  feeling 
that,  in  some  respects,  he  was  not  fully  qualified  to 
do  justice  to  the  work,  and  l^t  his  other  ayocations 
would  prevent  him  firom  giving  as  much  time  as 
was  desirable  to  an  undertaking  necessarily  requir- 
ing frequent  and  lengthened  visits  to  the  various 
libraries  in  which  these  mss.  are  deposited  for  the 
purpose  of  collation,  he  was  induced  to  do  what  he 
could  towards  editing  the  work. 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


The  object  of  this  work  therefore  Ib,  to  form  and 
bring  together  into  one  Tolume  as  complete  a  col- 
lection 88  possible  of  the  fragments  which  still 
remain  of  the  early  chronicles  aud  memorials  of 
Scotland,  prior  to  the  publication  of  Fordun's 
History.  It  will  contwn  a  reprint  of  those  pieces 
which  have  already  appeared  in  scattered  pnblica- 
tiooa,  after  collation  with  every  MS.  which  was 
accessible  to  the  Editor,  with  the  addition  of  aH 
such  pieces  as  still  remain  in  us.,  including  the 
materials  bearing  upon  the  history  of  Scotland  in 
Welsh  and  Irish  Has.  The  great  object  of  the 
Editor  has  been  to  make  this  collection  of  the 
materials  for  the  early  history  of  Scotland  com- 
plete, and  in  his  anxiety  to  attain  this  object,  he 
may  occasionally  have  included  pieces  which  hardly 
seem  to  deserve  a  place  in  this  collection.  In 
making  the  selectioii,  it  was,  of  course,  necessary 
to  do  so  within  certain  defined  limits.  His  geo- 
graphical  limit  has  been  the  kingdom  of  Scotland 
in  its  present  extent ;  and  every  event,  which  can  be 
supposed  to  have  happened  within  the  limits  of 
that  territory,  has  been  considered  as  falling  within 
the  scope  of  this  work  As  the  Anglic  kingdom 
of  Korthumbria  extended  to  the  Firth  of  Forth, 
and  the  Cymric  population  to  the  Firth  of  Clyde, 
this  has  led  him  to  include  many  events  connected 
with  the  early  Saxon  and  Welsh  annals.  He  has 
fixed  his  limit  in  point  of  time  at  the  conclusion  of 
the  reign  of  Alexander  the  Third,  in  the  year  1285, 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


and  he  has  not  thought  it  necessary  to  include 
documents  contaioiiig  a  record  of  events  subsequent 
to  that  date.  As  a  general  rule,  he  has  confined 
this  collection  to  pieces  which  appear  to  have  been 
compiled  prior  to  the  fifteenth  century. 

The  work  will  thus  present,  it  is  hoped,  an  accu- 
rate text  of  these  ancient  fragments  of  the  early 
annals  of  Scotland.  It  will  include  every  thing 
which  the  Editor  could  find  in  the  MS.  collections  in 
the  British  Museum,  in  the  Bodleian,  in  Cambridge, 
in  the  Advocates'  Library  at  Edinburgh,  in  the  Impe- 
rial Library  at  Paris,  and  in  the  private  collection  of 
Sir  Thomas  Pbillipps  of  Ididdle  Hill,  bearing  upon 
the  early  history  of  Scotland  within  these  limits ; 
and  in  addition  to  this,  the  Welsh  mss.  in  the 
British  Museum,  in  Jesas  College,  Oxford,  and  ia 
the  Hengwrt  collection  now  the  property  of  Mr. 
Wj^nne  of  Peniarth,  and  the  Irish  mss.  in  Trinity 
College,  Dublin,  the  Royal  Irish  Academy,  the  Bri- 
tidi  Museum,  the  Bodleian,  and  die  Advocates' 
Library,  have  been  carefuUy  examined,  and  every 
thing  tending  to  illustrate  the  early  history  of  Scot- 
land extracted  and  printed,  with  a  translation.  For 
the  ready  access  which  the  Editor  obtained  to  these 
MS.  collectionE^  he  has  to  record  his  obligation  to  Mr. 
Coxe  of  the  Bodleian ;  the  Principal  and  Fellows  of 
Jesus  College,  Oxford ;  the  Master  and  Fellows  of 
Corpus  Christ!  College,  Cambridge ;  the  Keverend

Sir  Thomas  PJiillippa,  and  Mr.  Wjmne,  for  the  kind 
manner  in  which  they  made  their  valuable  private 
collections  available  to  him. 

Throughout  the  greater  part  of  this  work,  the 
Editor  has  had  the  advantage  of  the  valuable  and 
ready  assistance  of  the  late  Dr.  Joseph  Eobertson, 
who  permitted  him  to  refer  to  him  in  all  matters 
of  doubt  or  difficulty;  and  it  is  while  these  sheets 
were  pasdng  through  the  press,  that  this  distin- 
guished archseologist  and  able  man  has  been  taken 
irom  us.  The  Editor  has  also  to  record  his  thanks 
to  the  Rev.  Dr.  Beeves  of  Armagh,  Professor  Con- 
nellan  of  Dublin,  and  Professor  Cosmo  Innes,  for 
osdetance  which  t^ey  readily  afforded  to  him  when 
he  applied  to  them.

afforded  by  each  document,  to  determine  the  »h»  wi^w.

the  date  so  assigned  to  it  is  placed  after  the  tatl&

conjectural ;  but  the  reasons  which  led  the  Editor 
to  assign  it  will  be  steted  in  the  account  of  each 
piece.  This  date  has  no  reference  whatever  to 
the  date  of  the  mss.  from  which  the  documents 
are   printed,  the  oldest  copy  found  being  often

much  posterior  to  the  date  contained  in  the  docu- 
ment itself.  These  pieces  are  in  some  cases  to  be 
found  in  one  MS.  only,  and  in  oliiers,  there  are 
different  editions  of  them  found  in  different  HSS. 
Where  only  one  m&  authority  exists,  the  text  has 
heen  carefully  printed  from  it  "Where  there  is 
more  than  one  M3.,  the  oldest  MS.  is  as  a  general

The  reference  to  the  M3.  used  for  the  text  is  placed 
under  the  title,  and  where  there  is  reference  to  more 
than  one  MS.,  the  fiist  named  is  the  one  from  which 
the  text  is  taken.  Where  it  is  written  in  old  French, 
Welsh,  or  Irish,  a  translation  has  been  appended. 

As  these  pieces  consist  in  the  main  of  fragments 
of  old  chronicles  and  other  early  memorials,  in  which 
the  exact  form  of  every  name,  and  the  exact  con- 
struction of  every  sentence,  may  be  of  importance, 
the  Editor  has,  as  a  general  rule,  resolved,  after  fuU 
consideration,  to  make  no  conjectural  emendations, 
either  in  the  orthography  or  in  the  construction, 
but  to  present  the  document  in  the  exact  shape  in 
which  he  foimd  it,  and  he  has  rarely  departed  from

printed.  This  ms.  is  of  the  fourteenth  centniy, 
and  has  evidently  been  transcribed  at  York,  by 
Robert  de  Populton,  as  there  appears  in  folio 
211,  •*  Ora  pro  PopUton  qui  me  compilavit 
"  Eboraci,"  and  again  at  folios  213  and  262,  "  Ora 
"pro  fratre  Koberto  de  Populton."*  He  appears 
to  have  transcribed  it  from  another  us,,  and  not 
always  correctly.'  It  contains  five  pieces  relatiog 
to  the  early  history  of  ScotUnd,  all  of  which  are 
printed  in  this  collection ;  and  these  pieces  seem 
to  have  been  known  to  fianulph  Higden,  as  he 
quotes  &om  them  in  his  "  Polichronicon,"  while  the 
preface,  and  a  great  part  of  his  chronicle,  down  to 
the  reign  of  Edward  the  Third,  is  contained  in  this

The  Pictiah  Ghionicle,  which  is  the  most  im- 
portant piece  in  this  MS.,  consLsts  of  three  parts : 
fiist,  a  preface  containing  passages  extracted 
and  adapted  from  the  "  Origines "  of  Isidore  of 
Seville ;  secondly,  a  list  of  Pictish  kings,  from 
Cruithne,  the  eponymus  of  tiie  race,  to  Bred,  the 
last  king  ;  and,  thirdly,  a  chronicle  of  the  kings

jEirom  Kenneth  Macalpin  to  Kenneth,  Bon  of  Mal- 
colm, with  the  leading  events  under  each  reign. 
Innes,  however,  waa  mistaken  in  supposing  that 
this  latter  appears  in  the  Colbertine  Ma  as  a 
separate  chronicle.  All  three  pieces  are  evidently 
transcribed  as  one  chronicle,  though  possibly  com- 
piled from  different  sources ;  but  there  appears  to 
be  something  omitted  between  the  second  and  third 
division  of  the  chronicle,  as,  in  giving  the  events 
under  the  reign  of  Kenneth  Macalpin,  the  expression 
occurs  in  the  latter,  "Pictavia  autem  a  Pictia  eat 
"  nominate  quos  ut  diximus  Cinadius  delevit," 
while  there  is  no  mention  of  the  destruction  of  the 
Picts  in  the  previous  part  of  the  chronicle.  What 
the  omitted  part  was,  may  be  gathered  from  Higden's 
"  Polichronieon,"  where  his  quotation  of  this  very 
part  of  the  chronicle  is  preceded  by  a  short  account 
of  the  destruction  of  the  Picts  by  the  treacherous 
slaughter  of  l^ir  nobles  at  a  meeting  with  the 
Scots.  It  ia  the  same  account  which  is  narrated  at 
large  by  Giraldus  Cambrensis  in  a  chapter  of  his 
work,  "  De  instructione  Principum,"  printed  in  lioB 
collection  (No.  zxvii.),  also,  in  the  same  connexion, 
in  the  chronicle  extracted  from  the  "  Scalacronica  " 
(No.  xxxil),  and  in  the  chronicle  (No.  xxxix.),  in 
which  it  is  given  in  the  very  words  of  Higden.  On 
the  margin  of  Giraldus'  account  is  the  expression, 
"  De  Pictis  Scotorum  prodicione  dehtis,"  and  the 
account  in  the  latter  chronicle  concludes  with  the 
expression,  "  Sicque  de  duobus  populis  gens  bellieo- 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PREFACE.  xxi 

"  sior  totaliter  est  deleta."  The  tale  in  certainly  an 
old  one,  as  it  is  alluded  to  in  the  "  Prophecy  of  St. 
"  Berchan,"  and  probably  originally  preceded  the 
third  diTision  of  the  chronicle. 

The  second  and  third  divisions  of  this  chronicle 
have  obrionaly  been  tranalated  into  Latin  from  an 
Irish  or  old  Gaelic  original,  as  the  translator  has 
left  some  words  tmtronslated,  which  he  appears  not 
to  have  understood.  Thus,  in  the  second  division, 
he  ^ves  "Dadrest"  as  the  name  of  a  king  who 
rdgned  one  year;  but  it  is  followed  by  "Drest 
"  filios  Girom  et  Drest  filius  Udrost  6  annis 
"  conr^uavenint."  It  is  plain  that  the  syllable 
Jki  is  the  Irish  numeral  ttm,  and  the  meaning  is 
two  Drests,  viz.,  Drest  son  of  Girom,  and  Drest  son 
of  Udrost,  reigned  five  years  together.  Again,  in 
the  third  division,  under  the  reign  of  Constantine, 
son  of  Kenneth,  he  writes,  "  Occisi  sunt  Scoti  co 
"Aehcochlam,"  where  co  is  the  Irish  preposition 
at,  and  the  meaning  is  "  at  Aehcochlam."  Again, 
under  the  reign  of  Constantine,  son  of  Ed,  he  men- 
tions the  death  of  "Adhdstan  filius  Advar  rig 
"  Scacan,"  which  is  Irish  for  "  king  of  the  Saxons." 
Then  in  the  following  reign,  he  mentions  that 
Malcolm  plundered  the  Eugli^  to  the  river  Tees, 
and  adds,  "  quam  predam  vocaverunt  Scotti  predam 
"  albidoaorum  idem  nainndisi."  Na  is  the  genitive 
plural  of  the  Irish  definite  article ;  Fionn  is  Irish 
for  dSms  or  white,  and  forms  fhinn,  the  /  when 
aspirated  being  silent ;   Dese  is  a  multitude   or

troup ;  and  albidosorum  is  tins  an  attempt  to 
translate  7ia[y%]inndwi.  Fodreaach,  now  Fetteresso, 
is  also  mentioned  as  being  in  Claideom,  and  this 
appears  also  to  be  an  Irish  word,  as  Fetteresso  is  in 
the  district  of  the  Mems,  known  to  the  Irish  by  the 
name  of  Maghcircin,  or  the  plain  of  Circin ;  and  in 
two  of  the  Irish  legends  of  the  Picts,  they  are  said 
to  have  occupied  this  distctct  as  their  Glaideam- 
tir,  or  sword  land.'  Several  other  inatancea 
might  be  noted ;  bat  it  will  suffice  to  add  that 
the  Irish  word  Jhin  appears  to  be  translated  by 
oppidum,  "  oppidam  Fother"  being  a  rendering  of 
Dunf other,  and  "  oppidum  Eden"  of  Buneden ;  and 
that  the  chronicle  concludes  und»  the  reign  of  Ken- 
neth, son  of  Malcolm,  "  Hie  est  qui  tribuit  magniun 
"  civitatem  Brechne  Domino."  Brechne  is  in  Irish 
the  form  for  the  genitive  case  of  the  word  Brechin. 
The  chronicle  is  evidently  connected  with  this 
part  of  the  country,  for,  under  the  reign  of  the  later 
kings,  it  records  the  deaths  of  the  Maormors  of 
Angus,  and  in  giving  the  names  of  the  seven  sons 
of  Oruithne,  who  are  mythically  supposed  to  have 
reigned  after  their  father,  but  who  represent  seven 
districts  of  Scotland,  whUe  aU  other  editions  of  this 
part  of  the  chronicle  commence  the  series  with  Fibh

list  with  CirciD,  maintaining  in  other  respects  the 
same  order.  It  is  in  Maghcircin,  or  the  plain  of 
Circin,  that  Brechin  is  sitaated  ;  and  a&  the  chronicle 
terminates  with  the  foundation  of  an  ecclesiastical 
settlement  there,  this  chrouicle  was  probably  com- 
piled by  the  monks  of  Brechin.  The  termination  of 
the  chronicle  in  the  middle  of  the  raign  of  Kenneth, 
son  of  Malcolm,  and  the  fact  that  while  the  years 
of  the  reign  of  the  other  kings  are  given,  the  years 
of  Kenneth's  reign  are  left  blank,  point  to  his  reign 
as  the  period  of  its  compilation.  Kenneth  reigned 
from  977  to  995,  and  the  cbronide  has  accordingly 
been  placed  in  thia  series  between  these  dates.

seventh  or  eighth  centuries,  a  work  was  composed  j^f^*"-.'''  ^ 
termed  the  "  Historia  Britonnm,"  containing  an  ac- 
count of  the  early  traditions  of  the  different  races 
inhabiting  Britain,  with  the  events  oi  their  history, 
partly  legendary  and  partly  real,  horn  the  departure

by  the  Saxona    The  original  wotk  appears  to  have 
traminated  with  the  foundation  of  the  kingdom  of 
Northumbria  in  647.     It  seems  to  have  been  at 
once  adopted  by  the  Britons  as  the  most  popular 
exposition  of  their  early  history,  and  to  have  be- 
come the  basis  upon  which   subsequent  writers 
interwove  or  attached  additional  matter ;  and  edi-

tions  of  this  work  were  produced  from  time  to 
time  with  such  additiouB  as  had  been  then  added 
to  it  It  would  not,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Editor, 
be  an  altogether  imposBible  taak  to  disentangle  it 
from  these  interpolations  and  additions,  and  to 
reduce  it  to  what  was  probably  its  original  form ; 
but  the  attempt  would  be  out  of  place  here.  It  is 
enough  to  say  that  the  date  and  authors  of  two  of 
the  editions  caa  be  pretty  well  established :  one  by 
Mark  the  anchorite  in  822,  and  another  by  Nennius 
in  858  ;  and  although  the  work  is  attributed  by 
many  of  the  MSa.  to  Gildas,  yet  it  haa  generally  been 
identified  with  the  latter  edition  attributed  to 
Nennius.  So  popular  was  this  work,  that  there 
exist  no  fewer  than  thirty-three  MS3.  of  Nennius, 
and  the  Editor  believes  that  in  the  traditions  con- 
tained in  this  work,  and  in  the  interpolations  and 
additions  to  it,  is  to  be  found  the  earliest  state- 
ment of  the  legendary  annals  of  the  different  races 
who  peopled  Britain.  He  has  therefore  included  ex- 
tracts &om  these  additions,  so  far  as  they  bear  on  the 
history  of  Scotland,  in  the  present  collection.  The 
uss.  of  Nennius  may  be  divided  into  five  classes  : 
first,  the  Harleian  MS.,  3859,  of  the  tenth  century,^ 
and  those  which  correspond  with  it.  Second,  the 
Vatican  mb.  of  the  same  period,*  and  the  Paris  MS. 
(Bib.  Imp.  Latin,  11108),  which  corresponds  with

wzittea  on  the  margin.  These  HS8.-are  all  more 
or  less  connected  with  Durham.  Fourth,  a  dass 
of  Mss.  in  which  these  marginal  additions  have 
been  incorporated  into  the  text ;  and  it  is  from 
one  of  these  that  the  usual  text  of  Nonnius  has 
been  edited.  And  fifth,  the  Irish  translations.  The 
dates  of  the  Christiau  era  in  Nennius  are  given 
in  two  focms ;  either  "  a  pasEdone  Christi,"  or  "  ab 
"  incamatione  Christi,"  and  sometimes  both  are 
given  together,  on  the  principle  that  the  date  &om 
the  Passion  is  thirty-three  years  prior  to  the  teal 
date.  It  was,  however,  a  custom  among  early 
writers  to  use  the  date  from  the  Passion  as  equi- 
valent to  that  from  the  Incarnation,  on  the  idea 
that  the  Faasiou  or  sufferings  of  Christ  really  com- 
menced with  his  assumption  of  humanity  in  his 
incarnation ;'  and  a  doser  examination  of  the  dates 
in  Nennius  will  show  that  he  used  it  in  this  sense ; 
that  his  date  from  the  Passion  is  equivalent  to  the 
true  date  ;  and  that  the  later  date  added  from  the 
Incarnation  is  an  interpolation.  Thus,  in  the  Vati-

the  year  946  of  the  Chrifitian  era,  and  not  with  the 
year  976.  It  is  therefore  plain  tiiat  the  latter  date 
is  an  interpolation,  and  that  the  passage  originally 
ran,  "  a  passione  Christi  peracti  sunt  arnii  Dcccczlvi 
"  et  T  annus  Eadmundi  regis  Anglorum."  In  pre- 
cisely similar  tenns,  the  date  in  the  Harleian  MS.  is 
thus  given  :  "  a  passione  autem  Cbiisti  peracti  sunt 
"  anni  septingenti  nonaginta  sex,  ab  incamatione 
"  autem  ejus  anni  sunt  octingenii  thginta  unas," 
when,  no  doubt^  the  year  796  is  the  true  date  in- 
tended, and  the  later  date  is  a  subsequent  interpola- 
tion. Some  of  the  ms8.  in  the  third  class  have  the 
date  &om  the  Passion,  of  879  in  place  of  796.  When 
the  date  946  in  the  Vatican  MS.  is  said  to  be  the  fifth 
year  of  the  reign  of  King  Edmund,  there  must  have 
been  some  reason  for  connecting  that  date  with  a 
particular  year  in  the  reign  of  a  Saxon  kin^  The 
Editor  believes  that  reason  to  have  been  that,  in  the 
fifth  year  of  King  Edmund,  he  conquered  the  Welsh 
kingdom  of  Cumbria  or  Strath  Clyde,  and  the  con- 
quest may  have  brought  the  "  Historia  Biitonum  "  to 
the  knowledge  of  the  Sazona  This  conjecture  is 
supported  by  the  fact  that  the  Paris  MS.,  which 
almost  entirely  correc^nds  with  the  Vatican  ms.,  is 
the  only  Ma  of  Nennius  in  which  the  proper  names 
appear  in  the  Saxon  and  not  iu  the  Welsh  form. 

The  Harleian  m3.  attaches  to  the  text  of  Nennius' 
additions,  consisting,  first,  of  genealogies  of  the  Saxon 
kings ;  secondly,  of  a  Welsh  chronicle ;  and  thirdly, 
of  Welsh  genealogies.    The  Saxon  genealo^es  are 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


also  attached  to  the  text  in  other  Mss. ;  but  it 
appears  that  they  had  ahready  existed  prior  to  868, 
as,  in  the  edition  of  858  hy  KeDniuB,  they  were 
rejected  by  him,  while  the  genealogies  and  events 
recorded  in  them  come  no  lower  down  than  the  year 
738.  There  is  therefore  every  reason  to  conclude 
iJiat  they  belong  to  the  edition  of  796,  if  not  to  an 
earlier  edition.  Those  parts  of  the  genealogies  which 
relate  to  that  part  of  the  Northumbrian  kingdom, 
afterwards  included  within  the  limits  of  the  king- 
dom of  8coUand,are  here  inserted  from  theEarleian 
US.  in  the  extracts  marked  A  and  B.  The  chronicle 
marised  c,  &om  which  extracts  relating  to  events, 
connected  with  Scotland  are  here  printed,  is  the 
chronicle  which,  combined  with  two  later  chronicles, 
has  been  edited  first  by  Mr.  Petrie  in  his  "  Mouu- 
"  menta,"  and  afterwards  by  Mr.  Williams,  under 
the  title  of  "  Annales  CambriEe."  It  bears,  in  point 
of  fact,  no  such  title,  and  in  its  original  form  in  the 
Harleian  hs.  is  a  true  addition  to  the  text  of  t^e 
"  Histoiia  Britonum."  This  is  plain  &om  a  compari- 
son of  the  earlier  part  of  the  chronicle  with  the 
genealogies  of  the  Saxons ;  for  the  events  there  re- 
corded are  likewise  recorded  in  this  chronicle,  the 
names  of  the  battles  are  the  same,  the  same  spell- 
ing of  the  proper  names  is  preserved,  and  a  pecu- 
liarity in  the  designation  of  one  of  the  Northumbrian 
kings,  Oswald,  who  in  the  "  genealogia"  alone  of  all 
the  kings  is  termed  "  Rex  Nordorum,"  appears  in  the 
chronicle  where  the  same  designation  is  applied  to 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


him.  The  clironol{^  of  this  chronicle  is  indicated 
by  the  repetition  of  the  word  annus  for  each  suc- 
cessive year,  whether  bhink  or  otherwise,  and  every 
tenth  year  is  marked  by  a  number.  Although  the 
laat  event  recorded  corresponds  with  the  year  956, 
the  word  annus  is  repeated  till  the  last  recur- 
rence of  it  corresponds  with  the  year  97  V,  in  which 
year  the  chronicle  in  its  original  form  was  no  doubt 
written.  Mr.  Duffus  Hardy,  in  his  Introduction 
to  the  "  Monumenta,"  observes  that  "  the  era  on 
"  which  its  chronology  reata  would  concur  with 
"  the  year  444  of  the  Incarnation,  though  no  pro- 
"  bable  reason  can  be  assigned  for  this  particular 
"  period  having  been  selected  for  its  commence- 
"  ment."  He  also  states  that  the  earlier  portion 
appears  to  have  been  taken  from  an  Irish  chronicle. 
The  present  Editor  is  of  the  same  opinion  ;  but  the 
following  entry  from  the  "  Annals  of  UlBter  "  may 
explain  why  the  era  of  the  us.  was  444 :  "  Anno 
"  Domini  ccccxliiii  Ardmacha  fundata  est"  It 
was  the  era  of  the  foundation  of  Armagh,  and 
the  Irish  chronicle,  on  which  it  was  based,  may 
have  been  connected  with  Armagh.  The  "Welsh 
genealogies,  extracts  of  those  parts  of  which  con- 
nected with  Scotland  are  printed  imder  letter  n, 
are  as  plainly  connected  with  the  "genealogia" 
as  the  chronicle  is.  In  the  "genedogia"  it  is 
stated,  in  connexion  with  the  reign  of  Hnssa, 
"  Contra  ilium  quatuor  regis,  Urbgen,  et  Eiderchen 
"  et  GuaUauc  et  Morcant  dimicarunt ;"  and  in  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


Welsh  geDeulogies,  the  pedigrees  of  Urien,  Kederch, 
Giiallaiic,  and  Morcant  follow  in  the  same  order. 
The  pedigree  of  the  kings  of  Wales,  which  is 
not  here  given,  commences  with  Uen,  son  of 
Hywel  dda,  who  reigned  from  949  to  987,  and 
thus  the  date  of  the  compilation  of  these  genealo- 
^es  corresponds  with  that  of  the  chronicle.  The 
Welsh  genealogies  attached  to  this  us.  of  Kennius 
have  not  been  hitherto  published,  and  their  main 
value  for  the  history  of  Scotland  consists  in  the  fact 
that  they  contain  a  pedigree  of  the  British  kings  of 
Strath  C3yde,  terminating  with  Ran,*  the  father  of 
Eocha,  king  of  Alban,  by  the  daughter  of  Kenneth 
Macalpin,  in  which  most  of  the  recorded  kings  of 
Strath  Clyde  wiH  be  found. 

3.  The  Tripabtite  Life  op  Sr.  Patrick. —  The  Tripartite 
Among  the  lives  of  St.  Patrick  published  by  Col-  plf^^f 
gan  in  his  "Trias  Thaumaturga,"  appears  a  Latin 
life,  which  he  terms  "  Vita  Tripartita."  He  so  calls 
it>  because  it  was  a  Latin  translation,  made  by  him- 
self from  three  Irish  uss.,  containing  editions  of  the 
same  life  in  old  Irish.  The  Irish  uss.  used  by 
Colgan  cannot  now  be  found  or  identified ;  but  the 
late  Professor  Currie,  when  employed  to  catalogue 
the  Irish  MSS.  in  the  British  Museum,  discovered

an  Irish  life  of  St  Patrick,  whidi,  on  comparing  it 
with  Colgan'a  Latin  version,  he  ascertained  to  be 
an  Irish  version  of  the  "Tripartite  Life,"  and  aubae- 
quently  another  Lish  rersioa  of  the  same  life  was 
discovered  by  Dr.  Todd  in  the  Bodleian,  which  he 
considered  to  be  Btill  older.  Professor  Currie,  in 
his  lectures  on  the  MS.  materials  of  Irish  histoiy, 
considers  this  life  to  have  been  compiled  in  the 
eighth  century.  The  Editor  cannot  place  so  old  a 
date  upon  it,  at  least  in  its  present  form.  The  lan- 
guage even  of  the  Bodleian  u&  is  not  older  than 
the  eleventh  century,  and,  after  consideration  of  all 
the  circumstuices,  he  has,  with  some  hesitation, 
placed  the  compilation  of  the  life  itself  in  the  tenth 
century.  This  life  contains  a  v^  important  notice 
of  the  settlement  of  the  Scots  in  Britain  under  Aedan, 
long  of  Dalriada.  There  are  indications  that  this 
notice  formed  a  part  of  the  oldest  forms  of  the 
lives  of  St.  Patrick,  and  it  is  here  printed  &om  the 
Bodleian  MS.,  collated  with  that  in  the  British 
Museum,  as  probably  the  earliest  authentic  notice 
of  the  Dalriadic  colony.

the  kings  of  Dalriada  in  'Scotlaiul,  and  the  snbse- 
qnenb  kings  of  Scotland  down  to  Malcolm  the 
Second.  These  synchronisms  were  continued  bj 
another  hand  to  the  death  of  Muircheartach 
O'Brien  in  1119,  sixty-five  years  after  Flann's 
death.  The  synchioniams  with  their  continuation 
are  preserved  in  the  "Bookof  Lecain,"aMS.of  1418, 
and  the  Editor  has  found  another  copy  in  the  older 
"Book  of  Glendaloch,"  in  the  Bodleian  (Rawlinson, 
B.  512).  There  is,  however,  a  MS,  in  the  Kilbride 
Collection,  in  the  Advocates'  Library,  which  gives  the 
synchronisms,  without  the  contiuuation,  terminatiDg 
with  Malcolm  the  Second,  who  died  during  the  life  of 
Fhum ;  and  ss  the  rest  of  this  us.  consists  of  poems 
which  are  the  undoubted  works  of  Flann  himself, 
tiiete  seems  little  reason  to  doubt  tbat  it  contains 
die  work  of  Flann  in  its  original  shape.  Professor 
Cnrrie  considets  that  these  poems  and  prose  pieces 
were  written  between  the  years  1014  and  1023. 
The  lists  of  the  kings  of  Scotland  contained  in  the 
tynchronisms  are  now  printed  from  these  MSS.  for 
the  first  time.  Since  the  text  of  this  woik  has 
gone  to  press,  the  Editor  has  found  another  copy  of 
the  synchronisms,  corresponding  with  those  in  the

"  TORiA  BurrONCU ." — The  Irish  hss.  contain  several 
versions  of  an  Irish  translation  of  the  "Historia 
"  Britonum,"  with  additions  connected  with  the 
legendary  history  of  the  Picts  and  of  the  Scots 
of  Ireland.  This  tranalation  is  said  in  one  MS.  to 
have  been  the  work  of  GiUacaemhin,  who  died  in 
the  year  1072,  and  every  indication  afforded  by  die 
translation  itself  corresponds  with  this  date.  The 
earliest  copy  of  the  version  appears  in  liie  "  Leabhar  . 
"  na  h-uidhre,"  a  HS.  compiled  by  Maelmure,  who 
died  in  the  year  1 1 06,  of  which  a  fragment  only  is  pre- 
served. A  complete  copy  is  preserved  in  the  "Book 
"  of  Ballimote,"  a  Ma  of  1391.  Another  complete 
copy,  and  part  of  a  fourth,  in  the  "  Bopk  of  Lecain," 
a  HS.  of  1418,  and  another  copy  in  a  ms.  in  Trinity 
CoU^e,  Dublin,  which  cannot  bo  dated  earlier  than 
the  sixteenth  century,  and  which  was  probably  com- 
piled in  the  year  15T7.  The  Irish  version  of  Neu- 
nius  has  been  published  by  the  Irish  Archsaological 
Society,  edited  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Todd  ;  but  it  is  much 
to  be  regretted  that  the  latest  Ma^  that  of  the  sixteenth 
century,  has  been  selected  for  the  text  of  this  work. 
That  Ma  differs  very  much  in  its  order  from  the 
older  Mss.,  and  bears  evident  marks  of  more  modem 
interpolation  and  alteration.  The  whole  text  has 
been  brought  to  correspond  too  much  with  the 
Latin  text  of  Nennius,  instead  of  presenting  the 
version  of  GiUacaemhin,  with  its  additions  inter- 
woven into  the  text  in  their  original  form,  which 
in  the  Editor's  opinion  are  better  represented  by  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


older  versionfi  in  tbe  books  of  Ballimote  and  Lecain. 
In  the  notes,  various  other  pieces  are  inserted,  -which 
certainly  formed  no  part  of  the  Irish  translator's 
additions.  The  notes  mfu'ked  T  are  judicions  and 
valnable,  and  worthy  of  all  attention.  Those  marked 
H  are  of  no  value  in  elucidating  the  version,  and 
are  only  calculated  to  mislead  the  unwary  reader. 
The  character  of  these  notes,  and  the  school  to 
which  their  author  obviously  belonged,  ought,  in 
the  Editor's  opinion,  to  have  excluded  them  &om 
any  work  published  by  the  Irish  ArchEeological 
Society.  The  "  Irish  and  Pictish  additions  to  the 
"  '  Historia  Britonum' "  in  this  translation  are  here 
printed  from  the  "Book  of  Ballimote,"  collated  with 
that  of  Lecain.  The  other  pieces,  which  do  not 
belong  to  the  additions  to  the  "  Historia  Brito- 
"  nnm,"  are  inserted  in  their  proper  places,  where 
they  will  be  duly  noticed.  The  passage  marked  A, 
taken  from  the  text,  seems  to  contain  the  original 
form  of  a  "passage  which  is  much  corrupted  in  the 
Latin  text,  and  presents  probably  the  oldest  form 
of  the  legend  of  the  settlement  of  the  Ficts.  The 
passage  under  letter  b,  which  is  the  first  of  the 
additions  made  to  the  text,  contains  what  may  be 
called  the  Pictish  legend  of  their  settlement,  and 
i^  in  point  of  &ct,  an  ampUficarion  of  tlie  previous 
parage.  It  describes  the  settlement  of  the  Picts 
under  their  eponymus  Cruithne,  and  the  division  of 
Alban  among  his  seven  sons,  and  corresponds  with 
the  fiist  part  of  the  second  division  of  the  "  Pictish 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


"  Chronicle."  This  l^nd  is  ezpreesly  said  to  have 
been  taken  from  Hie  books  of  the  Ficts.  The  copy 
in  the  "Book  of  Ballimote"  and  the  second  copy  in 
the  "  Book  of  Lecain"  hare  appatently  been  tran- 
Bcribed  from  some  older  copy,  without  adverting 
to  its  being  written  in  double  colamns,  as  the 
list  of  the  thirty  Bmdes  is  mixed  up  with  the  rest 
of  the  text ;  but  fortunately  the  first  copy  in  the 
"Book  of  Lecain"  is  without  iJiis  element  of  con- 
fusion, and  enables  the  correct  text  to  be  easily 
restored.^  It  is  followed  by  a  fragment,  which 
has  been  printed  under  c,  from  a  HS.  in  the  Bod- 
leian, which  appears  to  have  contained  a  copy  of  the 
Irish  NenniuB,  and  gives  the  list  of  the  snbsec[nent 
kings  as  they  ate  foimd  in  the  "  Pictish  Chro- 
"  nicle."  The  passage  in  Irish,  which  is  printed  in 
italics,  having  apparently  been  inserted  by  the  Irish 
scribe  to  adapt  it  to  Irish  traditions,  and  the  last 
four  kings  having,  from  the  use  of  Irish  words,  been 
likewise  apparently  added  by  him.  The  'additions 
under  letter  d,  appear  to  contain_the  Irish  form  of 
the  legend  of  the  settlement  of  the  Picta,  in  con- 
nexion with  the  Milesian  fable,  in  which  t^ey  are 
brought  direct  to  Ireland,  and  from  Irdand  to  Scot^ 
land.  This  addition  consists,  first,  of  a  prose  state- 
ment, and,  secondly,  of  a  poem,  which  bears  within 
it  evidence  of  having  been  compiled  not  later  than 
the  end  of  the  reign  of  Macbeth,  in  1058.    It  is  to 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


tliis  fonu  of  the  tradition  the  statement  belongs, 
that  seventy  kings  reigned  over  the  Picts  from 
Cathlnan,  the  first  king,  to  Constaatin,  the  last  of  the 
Picts ;  and  the  statement  first  appears  in  connexion 
with  these  additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum." 
By  the  "Pictish  Chronicle,"  this  Constantin  is  iden- 
tified with  Conetantin,  king  of  the  Picts,  the  seven- 
tieth king  in  that  list,  who  reigned  from  790  to 
820.  As  he  wtia  sncceeded  by  Ms  brother  Angus, 
and  Angus  by  Dmst,  the  son  of  Constantine,  he 
could  in  no  sense  have  been  the  last  king  of  the  Picte, 
and  this  ezpiession  could  only  have  been  applied  to 
him,  if  the  passage  was  first  written  in  his  leign. 
It  is  lemaikable  that  the  first  edition  of  the  "  His- 
"  toria"  which  can  be  dated,  that  of  796,  falls 
within  his  reign.  By  the  poem,  which  follows  the 
piose  tradition,  Constantin,  the  last  of  the  Picts,  ap- 
pears to  be  identified  with  Constantin,  termed  in  the 
"  Irish  Annals"  long  of  the  Picts,  who  reigned  from 
862  to  876,  as  itis  stated  that  siztj'Sixkingsreigned 
over  tiie  Picts  before  Kenneth  Macalpin,  which 
would  make  him  the  mzty-ninth  king.  Bat  he  like- 
wise was  succeeded  by  his  brother ;  the  annals  have 
antedated  these  reigns  two  years,  which  places  his 
death  in  878  ;  and  another  edition  of  the  "His- 
"  toria  Britonum"  is  dated  in  879,  one  year  after 
his  death.  The  passage  under  letter  E  is  a  separate 
legend,  found  in  tiie  "  Book  of  Lecain"  only.  Among 
the  additions  to  the  Irish  Nennius  found  in  the  "Book 
"  of  Lecain  "  is  a  poem,  prefixed  to  which,  in  a  later 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


hand,  are  the  words  Maehnuru  cecinit ;  there  is  an 
older  copy  of  this  poem  in  the  book  of  Leinster,  a  MS. 
of  1160  ;  Maelmuru,  the  author,  is  said  to  have  died 
in  the  year  884  ;  but  whether  the  poem  be  as  old 
as  that  date,  it  certainly  contains  the  oldest  form  of 
the  tradition  of  the  Picts  having  obtained  Irish 
wives ;  and  being  attached  in  the  "  Book  of  Lecain" 
to  the  Irish  Nennius,  as  much  of  the  poem  is  here 
inserted  under  letter  p  as  has  any  bearing  on  the 
early  legendary  history  of  Scotland.  The  tract  in- 
serted under  letter  a  is  found  in  the  Irish  version  of 
Nennius,  contained  in  the  "  Book  of  Ballimote " 
alone,  and  immediately  precedes  tbe  account  of  the 
reign  of  Vortigem  and  the  arrival  of  the  Saxons, 
as  contained  in  the  text  of  Nonius.  Dr.  Todd's 
translations  of  these  pieces  have  been  adopted  with 
some  modifications. 

6.  ThbDuahAlbabaoh.— The  "DuanAlbanach" 
was  first  printed,  but  very  incorrectly,  by  Pinkerton, 
who  received  his  copy  from  Charles  O'Connor  of 
Belu^are,  but  whence  he  derived  it  is  not  stated. 
A  more  correct  copy  was  printed  by  his  son.  Dr. 
O'Connor,  in  his  "  Eerum  Hibemicarum  Scriptores 
"  veteres,"  and  his  text  was  adopted  in  the  "  Collec-

better  text  was  printed  &om  a  us.  compiled  by 
Dudly  M'Firbis,  one  of  a  celebrated  race  of  Irish 
Sennachies,  in  the  year  1650.  No  older  version  is 
now  known  to  exist ;  but  it  is  quoted  by  Colgan  in

hia  "  Trias  Thamnatarga,"  which  wae  published 
a  few  yeats  earlier,  and  it  is  said  to  have  originally 
formed  part  of  the  "  Psalter  of  CaeheL"  The  poem 
itself  bears  to  have  been  written  in  the  reign  of 
Malcolm  the  Third,  and  contains  within  itself  abun- 
dant marks  of  its  authenticity.  It  has  usually  been 
dealt  with  as  if,  because  it  treats  of  the  history  of 
Scotland,  it  must  necessarily  have  been  written  by 
a  Scotchman,  and  afford  an  early  specimen  of  the 
Scotch  dialect  of  the  Irish  language.  But  there  is 
nothing  whatev^  in  the  poem  iteelf  to  show  this ; 
on  the  contrary,  the  presumption  is  that  it  ie  an 
Irish  document  It  contains  the  Irish  form  of  the 
traditions,  and  t^e  opinion  of  the  Editor  is,  that  it 
is  the  work  of  Gillacaemhin,  the  Irish  translator 
of  Nennius.  His  reasons  are :  first,  that  it  bears 
to  have  been  written  in  the  reign  of  Malcolm  ni., 
and  Gillacaemhin  died  in  that  reign,  in  the  year 
1072;  secondly,  that  the  statement  of  the  early 
settlements  in  Scotland  exactly  correspond  with 
those  stated  in  the  Irish  Nennius,  of  which  Gilla- 
caemhin was  the  translator,  under  letter  D ;  and, 
thirdly,  that  the  poem  begins  with  the  line^ 

"  A  eoloha  Alban  nile ;" 
and  Gillacaemhin  wrote  a  precisely  similar  poem 
regarding  the  kings  of  Irelafid,  which  is  his  un- 
doubted work,  and  which  be^^  with  the  line, 

"  A.  eolcha  Eireana  aiide," 
showing  an  obvious  similarity  of  style.

died  in  the  year  1088,  and  were  continued  by  a 
subsequent  hand  to  the  year  1178.  The  text  of 
these  annals  was  first  made  public  by  Dr.  O'Con- 
nor, who  printed  them,  but  somewhat  incorrectly, 
from  two  MSB.  in  the  Bodleian.  Besides  these 
MSB.,  there  is  a  later  MS.  of  these  annals  in  Trinity 
College,  Dublin,  and  an  older  fragment  of  a  part 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


of  the  annals  which  seems  to  present  them  in  their 
earliest  form.  The  Hss.  in  Trinity  College  appear 
to  have  been  unknown  to  Dr.  O'Connor.  The  dates 
given  by  Dr.  O'Connor  were  not  taken  &om  any  Hs. . 
of  Tighemac,  but  were  affixed  by  himself  from  the 
dates  of  similar  events  in  the  "Annals  of  Ulster." 
Tighemac's  chronology  is  indicated  by  prefixing 
to  each  event  the  character  KL  for  Kalends,  accom- 
panied by  the  f&ria,  or  day  of  the  week  on  which 
the  first  of  January  fell  in  each  year.  He  seems  to 
have  written  them  in  their  order,  one  after  another, 
and  to  have  annexed  to  each  the  event  he  had  to 
record  under  that  year.  On  comparing  his  dates, 
as  indicated  by  the  fericB,  wi^  the  dates  in  the 
"  Annals  of  Ulster,"  they  appear  to  precede  the  true  ' 
date  by  four  years;  but  he  has  apparently  mis- 
calculated the  day  dropped  out  in  each  period  of 
six  days  by  the  recturence  of  leap  year,  and  the 
fericB  are  irregularly  given,  and  are  entirely  omitted 
after  the  year  661. 

The  extracts  from  the  annals  here  given  have 
been  carefully  collated  with  the  oldest  ms.,  that  in 
the  Bodleian  (Rawlinson,  b.  488).  The  dates 
added  on  the  margin  are  those  indicated  by  the 
feritB  in  the  "Annals  of  Ulster,"  which  appear 
to  correqwnd  with  the  trae  date.'

a  fashion,  whicli  seems  to  have  commenced  in 
Wales  and  spread  to  Ireland,  came  in,  of  writing 
history  in  the  fonn  of  prophecy,  supposed  to 
have  been  uttered  by  some  one  who  lived  long 
before  the  time  of  the  actual  writer.  The  "  Cy- 
"  voesi  Myiddin"  is  a  good  example  of  this,  in 
which  a  history  written,  part  of  it  in  the  reign 
of  Hywel  dda  in  the  tenth  century,  and  part  as 
late  as  the  reign  of  Henry  the  Second,  is  given  in 
the  shape  of  a  prophecy  supposed  to  be  uttered  by 
Myiddin  in  the  sixth  century.  In  some  cases  the 
proper  names  of  the  kings  are  plidnly  given ;  in 
others  they  are  cloaked  under  epitheta.  There  are 
several  specimens  of  this  kind  of  prophetical  history 
*  in  the  Irish  Msa,  but  the  most  remarkable  are  the 
prophecies  of  St.  Berchan.  They  contain  a  his- 
tory of  the  Irish  kin^.down  to  the  reign  of  Muir- 
cheartach  O^rien,  who  died  in  the  year  1119; 
and  likewise  an  account  of  the  mission  of  St 
Golumba  to  Scotlajid.  of  the  reign  of  Aedaji,  king  of 
Dalriada,  and  of  the  kings  of  Scotland,  from  Ren- 
Betb  Macalpin  to  Donald  Bain,  in  whose  time  this 
part  of  the  poem  appears  to  have  been  written. 
The  whole  is  attributed  as  a  prophecy  to  St  Berchan, 
who  lived  towards  the  end  of  the  seventh  century. 
The  latter  part  of  the  poem,  relating  to  Scotland,  is 
here  printed.  The  names  of  the  kings  are  concealed 
under  epithets,  but  there  is  little  difficulty  in  iden- 
tifying them,  and  it  is  full  of  curious  allusions  to 
the  character  and  events  of  their  reign,  which  are

importance  for  the  history  of  Scotland  for  the 
traditionary  account  which  it  gives  of  the  settle- 
ment of  the  Scots  in  Ireland,  and  of  their  emigra- 
tion to  Scotland,  which  is  not  to  be  foimd  elsewhere, 
and  likewise  for  the  indicationB  of  contemporary 
history  connected  with  the  vlMt  of  Cadroe  to 
Scotland,  in  the  reign  of  Constantine,  in  the  early 
part  of  the  tenth  century.  Cadroe  himself  died 
about  the  year  976,  and  the  author  of  the  Hfe  states 
that  he  received  his  information  from  disciples 
of  St.  Cadroe.  The  Editor  has  therefore  placed  the 
life  in  the  elevenlli  century.  It  was  first  printed 
by  Colgan  in  his  "  Acta  Sanctorum,"  from  a  Ha 
which  belonged  to  the  Monastery  of  St.  Hubert,  in 
the  Ardennes,  a  copy  of  which  was  sent  by  the 
abbot  to  Colgan.  It  is  likewise  printed  by  BoUan- 
dists  in  their  "  Acta  Sanctorum,"  but  they  omit  the 
part  containing  the  Irish  tradition,  and  it  is  obvious 
that  they  have  taken  their  text  from  thai  of  Colgan. 
The  Monastery  of  St  Hubert  was  dismantled  in  the 
French  revolution,  and  its  library  dispersed.  A  few 
remains  of  it  were  purchased  by  Sir  Thomas  FhUlipps 
of  Middlehill,  and  are  now  in  his  collection ;  but 
this  MS.  is  not  among  them,  and  the  original  ua 
appears  to  be  irretrievably  lost  Neither  is  the  copy 
used  by  Colgan  to  be  found.  The  parts  of  this  life 
which  relate  to  Scotland  are  too  important,  from  the

early  period  at  which  it  was  written,  to  be  excluded 
from  this  collection  ;  but  the  Editor  has  been  obliged 
to  print  these  extracts  from  Colgan's  text,  though  it 
bears  the  marks  of  being  extremely  inaccurate. 
xiLoentniy.  11.  Mbteical  Peophecy. — This  is  another  in- 
H^c>i  Pro-  gjjgjj^jg  q£  jjjg  prevalent  fashion  of  writing  history 
in  the  form  of  prophecy.  It  has  been  very  incor- 
rectly printed  by  Pinkerton  &om  the  Colbertijie 
MS.,  and  the  correct  text  from  that  us.  is  here 
given.  The  Piinceps  Noricus,  who  had  annexed 
to  himself  lands  suirounded  by  the  sea,  can  only 
refer  to  Magnus  Barefoot,  king  of  Norway,  who 
conquered  the  Western  Idands,  and  the  period  of 
twice  three  years  and  nine  months,  during  which 
the  land  was  without  its  king,  probably  refers  to 
the  interval  between  the  termination  of  the  reign 
of  Malcolm  the  Third  and  the  firm  establishment 
of  Edgar  on  the  throne.  The  compilation  of  this 
prophecy  is  therefore  attributed  to  the  reign  of  tiie 
latter.  The  prophecy  is  referred  in  the  poem  itself 
to  Gildas  and  to  Merlin.  There  is  an  imperfect 
copy  in  the  Boyal  Library,  9.  b.  ix.,  with  which  tiie 
text  has  been  collated.

1 3.  The  Welsh  "  Beuts." — The  publication  of  the  tiw  w.i.h 
so-called  History  of  Britain  by  Gkofi&ey  of  Monmouth 
prodaced  a  complete  revolution  in  the  traditionaiy 
history  of  the  country  ;  and  the  legends  which  had 
hitherto  prevailed  as  to  the  origin  of  the  races  in 
Britain  assumed  a  totally  new  shape.  Instead  of  the 
mythic  genealogy  contained  in  Nennius,  in  which 
tiie  population  of  North  and  South  Britain  appeared 
under  the  form  of  two  brothers,  Brutus  and  Albanus, 
the  sons  of  Mcon,  Brutus  now  appears  as  the  leader 
of  a  colony  to  Britain,  and  as  having  three  sons, 
Locrinus,  Camber,  and  Albanactus,  among  whom 
Britain  was  divided  into  three  parts  :  Loegria,  or 
England ;  Cambria,  or  Wales ;  and  Albania,  or  Scot- 
land. This  fable  played  so  conspicuous  a  part  in 
the  controversy  between  England  and  Scotland,  that 
it  is  desirable  to  include  it  in  this  collection  in  the 
form  in  which  it  appears  in  the  Welsh  Mss.  Whether 
Qeo£&ey  of  Monmouth  deduced  his  statement  of  these 
fitbles  from  older  authority,  or  whether  he  himself 
invented  them,  is  a  question  of  much  difSculty.  His 
work  is  dedicated  to  Robert  Duke  of  Gloucester,  son 
of  Henry  the  First  who  died  in  1135,  and  appears 
to  have  been  composed  while  his  father  still  Uved. 
In  his  epistle  dedicatory,  he  states  that  he  translated 
his  work  &om  an  ancient  book  in  the  British  lan- 
guage, given  him  by  Walter,  Archdeacon  of  Oxford. 
That  there  was  such  a  person  at  the  period  is 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


undoubted,  thougb  he  has  been  confounded  with 
Walter  de  Mapes,  a  veiy  different  peison,  who 
hved  somewhat  later.  In  the  Welsh  Archseology 
there  have  been  printed  firom  Welsh  M88.  two  ver- 
sions of  this  history  in  Welsh,  one  containing  the 
substance  of  Geoffrey's  history,  but  leaving  out  a 
good  deal  of  matter,  and  said  to  be  taken  from  the 
"  Red  Book  of  Hergest ;"  another,  to  which  the  title 
of  "  Brut  G.  Ap  Arthur"  has  been  given,  and  which 
exactly  corresponds  with  the  Latin  versioD  of 
Geoffrey  of  Monmouth.  It  has  been  supposed  that 
the  first  is  the  Welsh  book  which  Geoffrey  obtained 
from  Walter,  Archdeacon  of  Oxford,  and  that  it  is 
an  older  work  which  has  been  conjectured  to  have 
been  composed  by  TyssUio,  who  Uved  some  centuries 
earher.  An  examination  of  the  uss.  does  not  bear  out 
this  theory.  The  Welsh  version  of  the  "  Brat"  in  the 
"  Red  Book  of  Hergest "  is  not  the  same  as  the  text 
of  the  "  Brut  Tyssilio,"  printed  in  the  Welsh  ArehsB- 
ology,  but  is  in  point  of  fact  almost  the  same  as 
the  "  Brut  G.  Ap  Arthur,"  and  corresponds  with 
the  Latin  version  of  Geoffrey.  The  Editor  has 
found  another  copy  of  this  version  in  a  ms.  of  the 
commencement  of  the  fourteenth  century,  in  the 
Hengwrt  collection,  and  a  third  in  the  same  collec- 
tion, which  varies  slightly  from  it  These  are  obvi- 
ously Welsh  versions  of  the  Latin  text  of  Geoflrey 
of  Monmouth.  There  is,  however,  in  the  Cottonian 
Library  (Cleopatra,  B.  v.)  a  Welsh  version,  which 
approaches  more  nearly  to  what  is  termed  the  "Brat 
"  Tysailio."    The  whole  of  the  mss.  agree  in  the

PREFACE.  xlv 

Btatement  that  Walter,  Arclideacon  of  Oxford,  had 
a  Welsh  book  which  he  traoslated  into  Latin ;  that 
Geofeey  wrote  his  history  from  it^  which  he  then 
le-translated  into  Welsh  ;  and  if  we  add  the  as- 
Bamptlou  that  Oeofirey  added  additional  matter 
to  Walter's  Latin  text,  the  existing  Welsh  versiona 
correspond  very  weU  with  that  statement.  But 
they  aU  differ  as  to  what  the  original  of  Walter's 
text  was.  The  "Eed  Book  of  Hergeat"  says  that 
it  was  a  ms.  written  in  the  Breton  language  ; 
the  Hengwrt  MS.,  that  it  was  a  MS.  in  the  Cymric 
or  Welsh  language ;  and  the  Cottonian  MS.,  that 
the  original  was  a  Latin  version.  Be  this  as  it 
may,  there  seems  clearly  enough  to  have  been  a 
Welsh  version  prior  to  the  composition  of  Geoflrey's 
Latin  test,  and  a  Welsh  version  into  which  the 
latter  was  translated.  The  Welsh  tradition  as  to  the 
origin  of  the  races  of  Britain,  and  as  to  the  settle- 
ment of  the  Picts,  is  here  given  from  the  first  Welsh 
version,  and  the  additions  in  the  latter  Welsh  version 
are  added  in  the  notes  below.  They  are  included 
in  this  collection  mainly  as  affording  the  Welsh 
form  of  the  Pictish  tradition,  and  the  explanation 
of  their  Welsh  designation  of  Gwyddyl  Ffichti. 

In  the  conclusion  of  Geoflrey's  history,  he  states 
that  he  leaves  the  history  of  the  kings  that  suc- 
ceeded in  Wales  subsequent  to  Ms  history,  which 
terminates  with  the  reign  of  Cadwallader,  "  to  Cara- 
"  doc  of  LlancjuTwi,  my  contemporary ;"  and,  ac- 
cordingly, most  of  the  mss.  of  the  Welsh  text  are 
followed  by  a  chronicle,  which  appeara  in  two  forms, 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


one  combined  with  events  in  Saxon  history,  and 
called  "  Brut  j  Saeson,"  and  the  other  containing 
purely  Welsh  events,  to  which  the  title  of  "  Brut  y 
"  Tywyaogion"  has  been  given.  The  Welsh  version 
in  the  Cottonian  MS.  (Cleopatra,  B.  v.)  is  followed  by 
the  fonner,  that  in  the  "  Eed  Book  of  Hergest "  by  the 
latter.  The  present  Editor  does  not  agree  with  the 
opinions  of  previous  editors,  that  the  "Brut  y  Saeson" 
was  a  bad  copy  of  the  "  Brut  y  Tywyaogion,"  which 
was  aftenrardfi  combined  with  the  "Winchester 
"Annals"  of  Richard  of  Devizea  On  the  contrary,  he 
thinks  the  "  Brut  y  Saeson "  the  older  of  the  two, 
and  the  original  form  in  which  Caradoc  composed 
his  chronicle,  and  that  the  Saxon  events  have  been 
omitted  in  the  so-called  "  Brut  y  Tywysogion ;"  but 
the  events  which  relate  to  Scotland  are  the  same  in 
both,  and  therefore  he  has  given  under  letter  d  the 
test  from  the  Cottonian  MS.,^  collated  with  that 
from  the  "Red  Book  of  Hergest" 
,  14.  Tract  on  the  Picts. — Several  of  the  Irish 
US8.  contain  a  tract  termed  the  "  Leabbar  Gabhala, 
"  or  the  Book  of  Conquests  or  Invasions."  This  tract 
contains  an  account  of  the  wanderings  of  tiie  Mile- 
sians, and  their  settiement  in  Ireland,  and,  in  con- 
nexion with  it,  the  Irish  form  of  the  Pictish  tradition.

of  the  province  of  Ulster  over  against  Scotland 
was  occupied  in  the  sixth  century  by  three  dif- 
ferent tribes.  The  most  northerly,  extending  from 
the  north  coast  to  Lough  Neagh,  was  the  tribe 
of  Dalriada,  from  which  the  Scottish  colony  of  the 
sixth  century  proceeded  to  Aigyleshire.  Iimne- 
diately  Bouth  of  them  were  the  Dalnaraidhe,  who 
wa%  the  remains  of  the  old  Cruithne,  the  original 
inhabitants  of  the  whole  province  of  Ulster.  Their 
territory  was  called  Dalaradia.  The  third  tribe, 
who  were  the  most  southerly,  were  the  Dalfiatach, 
who  were  of  the  same  Scottish  race  as  the  tribe  of 
Dalriada.  The  kings  of  the  Dalnaraidhe  and  the 
kings  of  the  Dalfiatach  were  alternately  provincial 
Idngs  of  Ulster,  and  Baedan  was  of  the  latter  triba

pieced  together.  The  title  is  "  Chronica  regum 
"Scotortun.  ccc  et  iiij.  annonim,"  and  thia  is  fol- 
lowed by  twenty-two  kings,  reigning  from  Fergus 
to  Alpin  inclusive,  whose  years,  as  stated,  make  up 
nearly  that  amount.  When  added,  they  amount  to 
302.  Then  follows  "Kynedus  filius  Alpini  primus 
"  rex  Scottorum,"  which  shows  the  commencemrat 
of  another  chronicle,  and  then  occurs,  after  the 
accession  of  William  the  Lion,  "  Ab  anno  primo 
"  Willielmi  regnum  Scottorum  anni  cccxv.,"  the 
period  daring  which  the  kings  from  Kenneth 
Macalpin  reigned. 

The  first  year  of  King  William  the  Lion  was  the 
year  1 1 6  5,  it  follows  therefore  that  the  era  from  which 
the  duration  of  this  latter  kingdom  of  the  Scots 
was  counted  was  the  year  850.  As  the  years  of  the 
reign  of  William  the  Lion  are  left  unfilled  up,  and 
the  duration  of  the  kingdom  of  the  Scots  is  reckoned 
to  the  first  year  of  his  reign,  the  natural  inference 
is  that  the  chronicle  was  put  together  in  that  year. 
It  is  followed  by  a  genealogy  of  King  William  the 
Lion.  It  appears  from  the  terms  in  which  the 
writer  speaks  of  King  David  the  Firsts  that  he  was 
an  ardent  admirer  of  that  monarch;  and  the  epithets 
which  he  applies  to  the  Cistercian  monastery  at 
Mdrose,  seem  to  indicate  that  he  was  hin:aelf  a 
Cistercian  monk.     It  is  hardly  possible  to  avoid  the

snapicion  that  the  compiler  was  no  other  than 
Ailred,  the  biographer  and  panegyrist  of  King 
David,  and  the  abbot  of  the  Cistercian  monastery 
of  Rievaux.  That  such  a  compilation  was  not 
foreign  to  his  literary  habits  we  know,  as  he  wrote 
a  genealogy  of  the  kings  of  England,  and  a  part  of 
the  "  Chronicon  Elegiacum,"  written  probably  in  the 
same  year,  is  attributed  to  him.

also  one  of  the  six  pieces  printed  by  Innes  in 
his  appendix,  and  it  is  now  reprinted  firom  the 
Colbertine  ms.  That  this  collation  was  very  ne- 
cessary appears  from  this,  that  Innes,  in  printing 
that  part  of  it  which  gives  the  various  theories  for 
the  etjrmology  of  the  name  Arregathel,  has  the 
following  sentence :  "  Vel  id  circo  quia  Scoti  ibi 
"  habitabant  primitus  poet  redditum  s\iam  de 
"  Hibemia,"  while  in  the  original,  the  people  named 
are  not  the  Scoti  only,  but  Scoti  FictL  In  the 
previous  sentence  he  states  that  the  Scoti  "gcner- 
"  aliter  Gattheli  dicuntur,"  from  which  we  may  in- 
fer that  he  uses  Scoti  as  equivalent  to  the  Irish 
GaidKeal,  and  to  the  Welsh  GwydcLyl;  and  the 
expression  Scoti  Picti  is  simply  the  Latin  render- 
ing of  the  Weldi  Ghm/ddyl  Ffichti.  The  same 
statement  occuis  in  this  tract  as  in  the  chronicle, 
that  the  Scots  had  reigned  for  315  years  to  the 
year  when  William  the  Lion  succeeded  to  the 
throne,  which  places  its  composition  in  the  same 
year.     Innes  was  of  opinion  that  this  tract  was

1  PREFACE 

the  work  of  Giraldus  Cambrenaia  He  founded 
this  view  on  the  fact  that  Ranulph  Higden  quotes 
the  following  sentence  from  this  tract  under  the 
name  of  Giraldus: — ■"Nimc  autem  corrupte  vo- 
"  catur  Scotia  a  Scotia  de  Eihemia  venientibus 
"  et  In  ea  regnantibus  per  spatium  trecentorum 
"  qiiindecim  annorum  usque  scilicet  ad  regnum 
"  Wdlelmi  Rufi  frBtris  Malcomi ;"  and  that  in  his 
"Topographia  Hibemise'  Giraldus  mentions  tus  in- 
tention of  writbg  upon  the  topography  of  Scot- 
laikd ;  but  the  Editor  cannot  adopt  this  opinion. 
Passages  are  frequently  given  in  Ranulph  to  which 
a  name  is  pr^xed,  when  perhaps  only  a  word  or 
two  is  taken  fr:om  that  author,  and  the  rest  of  tiie 
passage  from  another  source.  As  an  instance  of 
this,  in  the  end  of  the  same  chapter  he  gives,  under 
reference  to  Giraldus,  "  JHstinctione  prima  ca/pitulo 
"  octavo  decimo,"  a  long  passage  containing  an 
abstract  of  the  "  Legend  of  St  Andrew,"  while  in 
point  of  fact  the  first  ten  words  only  are  quoted 
from  GiraldW  "  De  Instructione  Principum ;"  and 
in  the  quotation  before  referred  to  the  words  printed 
in  italics  are  not  in  this  tract.  They  seem  taken 
from  the  passage  in  his  "Topographia  Hibemise," 
printed  in  No.  xxii.  a.  In  a  subsequent  chapter  he 
has  anotlier  quotation  frx>m  this  very  tract,  which  he 
places  under  the  name  of  Marianus ;  further,  Giral- 
dus did  not  write  his  topography  of  Ireland  till 
the  year  1186,  and  this  tract  is  unquestionably  an 
earlier  work.     In  fact,  Higden,  who  was  acquainted 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


with  these  pieces  Id  the  Colbrartine  Ha,  inteiweaves 
quotations  from  them  with  a  few  words  &om 
Gir&Idns  and  oth^  writers,  to  which  alone  the 
names  prefixed  apply. 

From  the  reference  to  Andrew,  Bishop  of  Caith- 
ness, as  nacione  Sootus,  the  author  was  not  a 
Scotchman,  and  &om  his  using  Romane  instead  of 
Anglice,  in  reference  to  the  word  Scottewattre,  he 
was  probably  au  Angle.  The  tract  is  apparently  of 
the  same  date,  if  not  by  t^  same  author,  as  the 
previouB  chronicle. 

18.  Legend  of  St.  Andrew.— This  tract  wasioeaiiiof 
first  printed  by  Pinkerton  in  the  appendix  to  his 
introduction  of  the  History  of  Scotland,  and  is  here 
reprinted  from  the  Colbertine  Ha  It  belongs  evi- 
dently to  the  same  period  with  the  two  previous 
tiacta  Mr.  Duffus  Hardy,  in  bis  descriptive 
cat^ogue  of  materials  relating  to  iJie  history  of 
Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  mentions  another  copy 

of  this  tract  as  existing  in  a  Ma  of  the  twelfth  or 
thirteenth  century,  belonging  to  Lord  Gosford.  The 
Editor  has  made  every  effort  to  obtain  access  to  this 
Ha,  but  withont  success  ;  the  impression,  however, 
made  upon  his  mind  by  the  title  quoted  by  Mr. 
Hardy  is,  that  it  is  a  later  and  not  an  earlier  version 
of  this  tract

22.  GlE ALDUS    CAJtBREireiS,     TOPOGRAPHIA     Hl-

of  the  Ficts  is  printed  in  this  collection  from  an 
unpublished  MS.  of  Giraldus,  it  has  been  deemed 
advisable  to  iusert  here,  under  its  proper  date,  the 
passages  which  relate  to  Scotland  in  his  "  Topogra- 
"  phia  Hibemise."  The  mss.  of  this  work  are  very 
numerous,  but  the  passages  have  been  collated  with 
two  mss.  in  the  Bodleian- 

23.  Chbonicle  of  the  Scots  and  Piots. — This 
chronicle  has  not  hitherto  been  printed.  It  is  con- 
tained in  a  MS.  in  the  Advocates'  Library  (34.  7.  3.), 
written  by  James  Gray,  priest  of  the  diocese  of  Dim- 
blane,  in  the  reign  of  James  the  Fifth.  The  chronicle 
itself,  however,  is  an  older  composition.  It  contains 
within  it  the  indication  of  its  own  date  in  the  state- 
ment, "  Summa  Scotorum  post  Pictos  ccciirvii.  anni 
"  et  V.  menses."    Taking  the  year  8  6  0  as  the  era  from

which  these  calciilatioiiB  were  made,  this  places  the 
compilation  of  this  chronicle  in  the  jear  1187.  The 
transcript  by  James  Gray,  however,  is  a  very  bad 
one,  and  the  proper  names  are  most  inaccurately 
given. 

24.  Descbiption  of  Britain. — This  description  DtMripUon 
is  printed  from  one  of  the  Cottonian  MSs.  (Claudius,  ° 

n.  il),  and  is  here  inserted  for  the  notices  of  the 
provinces  of  Scotland  which  it  containa.  The  HS.  is 
probably  not  older  than  the  fourteenth  century,  but 
the  expression,  "Albania  que  modo  Scocia  vocatur," 
points  so  plainly  to  the  twelfth  century,  that  the 
Editor  has  no  hesitation  in  placing  the  compilation 
of  the  document  at  that  period. 

25.  Latamon's  Brut. — Tins  extract  from  Layar-  zni.  cenmty. 
mon's  "  Brut"  is  inserted  in  illustration  of  the  extract  Brut™"" ' 
from  the  Welsh  Bruts,  containing  the  Welsh  legend 

of  the  settlement  of  the  Ficta.  Sir  Frederick  Mad- 
den states,  in  the  preface  to  his  edition,  that  Laya- 
mon's  "Brut"  is  taken  from  the  Anglo-Norman 
metrical  chronicle  of  the  Brut  truislated  from  the 
well-known  "Historia  Britonum"  of  Geofirey  of 
Monmouth  by  Wace,  but  that  it  contains  additions 
and  amplifications  which  are  not  to  be  found  in  the 
ori^nal ;  among  these  he  includes  the  narrative  of 
■&e  settlement  of  the  Ficts  in  Caithness,  and  the 
introduction  of  the  Irish  language  among  them. 
It  has  therefore  been  inserted  here  to  complete  the 
collection  of  Pictish  legends.  The  text  and  trans- 
lation of  this  passage  are  taken  from  Sir  Frederick

sion of  the  legendary  destruction  of  the  Picts  by 
ihe  treacheiy  of  the  Scots.  A  few  passages  from

and  the  other  from  a  Dublin  us.  The  Bodleian  hs. 
alone,  however,  contains  the  real  "  Annals  of  Inis- 
"  fallen,"  which  were  compiled  in  the  year  1215. 
The  Annals  contained  in  the  Dublin  us.  have  no 
good  claim  to  that  title,  and  are  a  much  later  com- 
position. The  extracts  here  printed  have  been  care- 
fully collated  with  the  us.  in  the  Bodleian  (Rawlin- 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


Bon,  bl  603).  The  dates  on  the  margin  of  this  ms. 
are  in  a  late  hand.  The  chronology  of  the  Annals  is 
indicated  by  the  occaedonal  occurrence  of  a  date,  and 
the  repetition  of  the  letters  KL,  marking  each  suc- 
ceeding year,  and  the  dates  contained  in  O'Connor's

It  contains  the  following  calculation  of  the  date

It  is  tha%fore  plain  that  an  additional  century  had

ing,  however,  with  the  reign  of  Malcobn  the  Fourth. 
The  "  Chronicle  of  Melrose "  appears  to  have  been 
written  in  the  reign  of  Alexander  the  Third,  and 
tenniuates  with  the  year  1270,  which  was  probably 
about  the  time  when  the  "  Cronicon  Elegiacum" 
was  completed.  There  ia  reason,  however,  to  think 
that  part  of  the  Cronicon  ia  much  older,  and  waa 
composed  by  Ailred,  Abbot  of  Rievaux,  as  John, 
Abbot  of  Peterborough,  refers,  imder  the  year  975, 
to  a  dironicle,  "  in  libro  sancti  Aldredi  abbatis 
"  qui  inlitulatur  Epitaphium  regum  Scotorum." 
Ailred  died  in  the  second  year  of  King  William  t^e 
Lyon,  in  the  year  1166,  and  he  probably  composed 
that  part  of  the  <diromcle  which  terminates  with  Abl- 
cofau  the  Fourth,  and  concludes  with  these  lines — 

"  Quatuor  hii  leges  jam  nuit  in  p>CB  Mpulti, 
In  tnmbaqne  jioeot  Kex  ubi  Mkloolmiu. " 

This  part  of  the  chronicle  may  have  been  written 
by  him  in  the  year  succeeding  Malcolm's  death,  viz., 
1165,  and  continued  by  another  band  in  the  reign 
of  Alexander  the  Third. 

Part  of  the  Cronicon  also  is  inserted  in  "  Wyn- 
"  toun's  Chronicle,"  along  with  part  of  a  prose  chro- 
nicle, and  more  of  it  by  the  continuators  of  Fordun 
in  the  "  Scoticronicon.''  The  Editor  has  collated 
the  copf  in  the  Bodleian  hs.  with  that  in  the  "  Chro- 
**  nicle  of  Melrose,"  and  in  "  Wyntoun's  Chronicle."'

incorrectly  printed  by  Pinkerton  in  the  appendix  to 
his  work ;  it  is  now  printed  from  the  copy  in  die 
Harleian  Ha,  4628.  From  the  reference  to  the 
bishops  of  St  Andrews  which  foUows  it,  it  occupies 
a  place  in  the  register,  which  saggests  the  date  of 
1279.  It  is  an  amplification  of  the  "  Legend  of  St 
"  Andrew"  in  the  Colbertuie  MS.,  and  is  remarkable 
as  quoting  a  supposed  grant  by  King  Hungus 
before  a  number  of  witnesses,  said  to  be  "  ex  regali 
"  proaapia."  An  examination  of  l^e  names,  however, 
will  show  that  they  are  taken  almost  without  excep- 
tion from  the  names  of  the  early  kings  in  the  Fictish 
lists.  The  passage,  "  Thana  filius  Dudabrach  hoc 
"  monumentum  scripsit  Regi  Pherath  filio  Bergeth 
"  in  villa  Migdele,"  is  more  curious,  and  may  have 
some  foundation  in  fact,  as  the  King  "  Ferat  fihua 
"  Batot"  appears  in  the  "Chronicle  of  St  Andrews" 
as  the  second  last  king  of  the  Picta,  and  the  "villa 
"  Migdele,"  obviously  refers  to  the  town  of  Meigle ; 
but  how  much  of  the  legend  may  be  intended  to 
be  referred  to  as  having  been  then  written,  it-  is 
impossible  to  say.

Alexander  was  430  years  one  month  and  seven  days, 
which,  added  to  the  year  8S0,  as  the  era  of  Kenneth, 
fixes  ihe  date  of  the  chronicle  at  the  year  1280. 
But  though  the  substance  of  tihe  chronicle  may  hare 
been  compiled  in  this  year,  it  is  obvious  that  the 
nartatdve  is  interspersed  with  statements  of  a  later 
date,  snch  as  the  reference  to  the  marble  stone 
having  been  removed  to  Westminster.  There  is  a 
peculiarity  in  this  chronicle  which  seems  to  indicate 
its  source.  The  king  of  l^e  Picts,  usually  termed 
Bnide,  son  of  Derili,  is  here  called  Brude  son  of 
Dei^rt,  and  it  is  added  "  in  which  time  came  St 
"  Servanus  to  Fife."  This  is  the  only  chronicle 
which  contains  any  notice  of  St  Servanus ;  and  in 
the  chartulaty  of  St.  Andrews  (p.  113)  there  is  a 
note  of  the  foundation  charter  of  the  priory  of  the 
isUnd  of  Lochleven,  sud  to  have  been  granted  by 
Brude  filins  Dergard  to  St  Servanus  and  the  Cul- 
dees.  It  may  therefore  be  inferred  that  the  chronicle 
inserted  in  the  "  Scalacronica"  was  the  "Chronicle 
"  of  Lochleven,"

under  their  common  seals.  The  retumB  made  to 
these  writs,  which  are  still  extant,  contain  nume- 
rous extracts  and  fragments  of  chronicles,  which 
are  printed  by  Sir  Francis  Patgrave  in  his  "  Docu- 
"  ments  and  Records  illustratiTe  of  the  History  of 
"  Scotland,"  published  by  the  Record  Commission ; 
but  among  them  is  one  dironicle  so  important  for 
the  history  of  Scotland  that  it  is  included  in  this 
collection.  It  was  sent  by  the  canons  of  .the  priory 
■of  St.  Mary  of  Huntingdon,  founded  in  the  year 
1140 ;  and  as  David  the  First  acquired  the  honour 
of  Huntingdon  through  his  wife  Matilda,  which  was 
afterwards  conferred  upon  his  son  Henry  in  the 
year  1136,  the  earlier  part  of  this  chronicle,  prior  to 
Malcolm  Canmore,  was  no  doubt  derived  &om  a 
Scottish  source.  The  chronicle  commences  with 
the  contest  between  Alpin,  king  of  the  Scots,  and 
the  Ficts,  in  the  year  834  ;  and  the  marginal  title 
bears  that,  according  to  their  chronicles,  the  Scots 
had  possessed  the  country  for  four  hundred  and 
forly-fiii  years  fix)m  Alpin,  from  whom  King  Mal- 
colm derived  his  descent,  which,  added  to  834, 
brings  us  to  the  year  1390  as  that  in  which  the 
return  was  made.  The  original  hs.  is  preserved  in 
l^e  Record  House  in  London,  but  it  has  suffered  so 
much  from  time,  that  many  words  cannot  now  be 
decyphered.  Some  of  these  blanks  occur  in  the 
most  important  part  of  the  chronicle  for  Scottish 
history,  viz.,  the  narrative  of  the  reigns  of  Alpin  and 
his  son  Kenneth ;  but  this  narrative  has  fortunately 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


been  interwoven  by  Fordun  into  his  own  account 
of  these  reigns,  and  the  obliterated  words  can  be 
supplied  from  his  text  with  every  presumption  of 
accuracy.

— in  the  years  1300  and  1301,  a  discussion  arose  ciainu. 
between  the  Pope,  the  king  of  England,  and  the 
Scotti^  Government  with  regard  to  the  indepen- 
dence of  Scotland.  It  commenced  in  the  year 
1300,  by  a  bull  directed  by  Pope  Boniface  the 
Eighth  to  Edward,  king  of  England,  which  was 
replied  to  by  the  English  Parliament,  and  aftei^ 
wards  by  the  king  himself  The  Pope  then  directed 
a  bull  to  the  bishops  of  Scotland,  while  the  Govern- 
ment of  Scotland  sent  instmctioDs  to  their  com- 
missioners in  Borne,  and  this  was  followed  by  an 
argument  written  by  Baldred  Bisset,  rector  of 
Kinghom,  in  the  diocese  of  St.  Andrews,  who  was 
one  of  these  commissionera.  The  discussion  is 
valuable,  because  each  party  founded  their  argument 
upon  premises  deduced  &om  facts  in  the  early 
history   of    the   country.      They  thna   show   the. 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


form  which  the  legends  had  then  assumed,  and 
the  view  which  was  taken  on  both  sides  of  the 
early  histoiyof  Scotland.  Four  of  1^  documents 
iu  this  discussion  are  here  printed  Under  letter 
A  is  the  bull  of  the  Pope  to  the  King  of  Eng- 
land, and  ondei  letter  B  the  King  of  England's 
reply.  They  are  to  be  found  in  Fordtin's  hutory, 
and  they  hare  also  been  printed  in  the  last  edition 
of  Rhymer's  "  Fcadera,"  from  ua  copies  in  the  pubhc 
records  in  London.  They  have  been  collated  with 
the  latter  for  the  Editor  by  his  friend  Mr^  Joseph 
Stevenson.  Under  letter  c  are  the  instructions  to 
the  Scotch  commissionerB,  and  under  letter  D  the 
ai^umrait  by  Baldred  Bisset  These  two  documents 
are  to  be  found  in  the  uss.  of  Fordun's  histoiy  alone. 
They  have  been  printed  by  Heame  from  the  u&  in 
Trinity  College,  Cambridge,  which,  it  is  supposed, 
contained  the  original  of  that  part  of  the  work  com- 
posed by  Fordun  himself  with  ^e  mateiials  prepared 
byhimfort^e  rest  of  his  work.  They  are  also  printed 
by  Goodall  in  his  edition  of  Fordun.  Goodall's  edi- 
tion of  Fordun  is  mainly  taken  from  the  fine  HS. 
in  Edinbui^h  College,  which  contains  the  cootinua- 
tion  of  Fordun  by  Bower,  but,  on  examining  these 
documents  in  the  Edinburgh  CoUege  hs.,  it  appears 
that  the  "  Instructions"  differ  very  materially  fr:om 
the  copy  printed  l^  Heame,  and  that  while  Goodall, 
in  the  rest  of  his  work,  has  mainly  followed  the  Edin- 
burgh College  MS.,  he  here  deserts  i1^  and  prints  the 
text  of  his  "  Instructions"  from  a  Ha  which  contains 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


nearly  the  same  version  of  it  as  that  printed  by 
Heame.  The  Editor  has  had  the  advantage  of 
examining  the  fine  HS.  of  Fordun  in  the  library  of 
the  Earl  of  Moray  at  Donibrisde,  vhich  fonneriy 
belo&ged  to  the  monastery  of  Inchcolme,'  and  the 
condosion  be  has  come  to  on  examining  the  differ- 
ent Hss.  is,  that  the  differences  do  not  consist  merely 
of  the  ordinary  variations  of  transcribers!,  but  that 
there  axe,  in  point  of  &ct,  two  entirely  distinct  ver^ 
sioQB  of  this  document ;  of  one  of  these  veisiooa,  the 
text  in  the  Edinburgh  College  MS.  may  be  taken  as 
an  example,  and  of  the  other,  that  printed  by  Heame. 
The  differences  between  them  consist  to  a  great  ex- 
t^t  of  intentional  alterations.  At  the  fiist  view,  it 
might  be  supposed  that  Heame's  copy,  being  taken 
from  the  oldest  ms.,  is  probably  that  nearest  to  the 
original,  but,  on  the  other  hand,  the  differences  consiat 
c^  additions  and  interpolations  in  Heame's  edition, 
and,  when  these  additions  are  examined,  they  appear 
to  have  been  made  for  the  purpose  of  bringing  the 
document  nearer  to  the  statements  in  Forduu's  own 
history.  Thus,  in  stating  the  conversion  of  the  Scots 
by  relics  of  St  Andrew,  the  copy  in  tiie  Edinburgh 
College  HS.  says,  "ibidem  Hungo  rege  tunc  reg- 
"  nanta"  Heame's  edition  adds,  "  et  super  Scotos 
'  Erth  filii    Echadii  fratris   Eugenii."    Now,  the

iatxoduction  of  Erth,  the  son  of  -Eehadius,  &a 
brother  of  EugeniuB,  was  first  made  by  Fordun  in 
hia  hifitory,  and  in  Book  iil  chap,  i.,  he  spears  in 
abnost  the  same  woids,  "Fei^;uBiuB  filius  Erth  filii 
"  Echadii,  qm  fuit  frater  Eugenii  regis."  Again, 
when  the  Edinbui^h  College  version  mentions 
Duncan,  the  son  of  Malcolm  the  Third,  he  calls 
him  Bimply  *'  Duncanus  primogenitns  ejnadem  Ual- 
"  colmi  regis,"  while  Heame'B  edition  inserts  after 
"  primogenitiis"  the  words  "sed  nothua."  This 
epithet  is  unknown  to  the  early  Scottish  chronicles. 
It  appears  for  the  first  time  in  the  English  part  of 
the  "  Chronicle  of  Huntingdoo,"  and  was  adopted 
by  Fordun  in  his  history,  as  in  Book  v.  chap,  xxiv., 
in  mentioning  "  Duncanus  Malcolmi  regis,"  he  adds 
"  filiuB  nothus." 

Taking  the  view,  ^en,  that  these  differraices  con- 
sisted of  additions  subsequently  made  to  tiie  original 
docmnent,  and  not  of  passages  omitted  from  it,  the 
text  in  the  Edinburgh  College  HS.,  and  in  the 
Donibrietle  ua  which  closely  corresponds  with  it, 
has  the  best  claim  to  represent  the  original,  and  the 
probability  is  that  the  tezt  in  Heame's  HS.  was 
altered  by  Fordun  to  adapt  it  to  his  own  history, 
as  he  has  altered  most  documents  which  he  made 
use  of,  and  that  the  other  text  most  nearly  repre- 
sents the  originaL  The  Donibrietle  HS.  indicates 
the  source  from  which  this  text  was  taken,  as  after 
the  "  Instructiones"  is  the  following  addition  in  the 
same  hand — "  Cujus  copia  cum  processu  ipsius  Bal-

This  cbromcle  is  contained  in  a  ms.  of  the  four-  Scot^ 
teenth  century,  in  the  collection  of  Sir  Thomas 
PMUipps  of  MiddlehiU.  It  very  closely  resemMea 
the  chronicle  which  was  contained  in  the  register  of 
the  priory  of  St  Andrews  (No.  xxix),  and  the  same 
mistake  occurs  in  it  of  adding  a  century  to  the 
duration  of  the  Scottish  monarchy.  The  "  summa 
"  annorum"  from  Kenneth  Macalpin  is  here  stated  to 
be  567  years,  and,  deducting  the  added  century,  and 
calculating  the  duration  &om  the  year  of  Kenneth 
Hacalpin,  viz.,  8S0,  this  gives  1317  as  the  date  of 
the  compilation  of  the  chronicle.  The  date  of  the  ms. 
correspcmdB  with  this  period.  It  may  be  observed, 
with  r^[ard  to  this  chronicle,  that  it  states  the  num- 
ber of  Pictish  kings  prior  to  Kenneth  as  sixty-five. 
This  corresponds  very  closely  with  the  statement  in 
the  old  Pictish  poem,  page  44,  in  which  the  number 
of  the  Pictish  kings  13  stated  to  be  sixty-six ;  but 
(m  comparing  this  dironicle  with  the  "  Chronicle  of

"  St  Andrews,"  it  will  be  seen  that,  in  order  to  bring 
out  this  number,  the  compiler  has  repeated  four  of 
tihe  kings  after  Nectan,  son  of  Derile.

^  THE  PoPB. — This  document  is  contwned  in    the 

continuation  to  Fordun's  history,  and  has  also  been 
printed  in  the  first  rolmne  of  the  "  Acts  of  Parlia- 
"  ment  of  Scotland,"  published  by  the  Record  Com- 
mission.  The  original  is  in  the  Begister  Hotise  at 
Edinburgh,  and  it  is  here  reprinted  after  collation 
with  the  original,  because  it  contains  the  deliberate 
statement  by  the  baronage  of  Scotland  at  that  time 
of  theii  conception  of  the  early  history  of  the 
country. 

38.  Cheonicle  op  the  Soots. — This  chronicle 
was  printed  by  Mr.  Joseph  Stevenson  for  tJie  Ban- 
natyne  Club,  and  it  is  here  reprinted  after  collation 
with  the  original  us.  It  is  a  chronicle  of  the  kings 
of  Scotland,  &om  Kenneth  Macalpin  down  to  David 
the  Second,  and  has  been  correctly  dated  by  Mr. 
Stevenson  as  having  been  compiled  in  the  year 
1333-4  This  chronicle  is  remarkable  as  containing 
a  reference  to  variations  in  the  list  of  kings  con- 
tained in  other  chronicles.  The  first  of  these  is, 
that  Constautine,  the  son  of  Kenneth,  reigned,  ac- 
cording to  others,  only  six  years.  The  second  la, 
Ihat  Grig  was  eucceeded  by  his  brother  Constantine. 
It  is  very  remarkable  that  the  only  document  which, 
supports  these  two  variations  is  the  "  Prophecy  of 
"  St.  Berchan."  Another  variation  in  this  chpmicle  is 
that  Duf,  the  son  of  Malcolm,  was  succeeded  by  his 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PKEFACE.  Ixvii 

son  Kenneth,  and  he,  by  Calen  the  son  of  Indulf ; 
and  this  variation  is  to  he  found  alone  in  1h& 
"  Cbionicle  of  Huntingdon," 

39.  Chboniolbs  of  the  &C03:s.— These  chronicles  cbRmioiM  at 
are  taken  from  a  docunient  in  one  of  the  Cot- 
tonian  Hsa  (Vitelline  a.  zx)  bearing  the  title  of 

"  TTintnrift  Anglim  a  Bnito  ad  ftnnnm  Domini, 
"  1348,"  and  the  hs.  appears  to  be  of  the  fourteenth 
century.  They  have  not  been  hitherto  printed.  The 
second  of  the  two  chronicles  is  obviously  a  copy  of 
part  of  the  "  Chroniole  of  St  Andrews,"  as  it  closely 
corresponds  with  it^  and  the  "  summa  annorum"  is 
the  same,  viz:,  601  years.  The  prologue  is  taken 
verbatim  from  Higden's  "  Polycronicon." 

40.  Chroniclb  op  thk  Scots. — This  chronicle  chmnids  of 
has  been  printed  from  one  of  the  Harleian  hss.  ""  *"** 
(1808).   The  "summa  anaorum,''&omKennethMac-- 

alpin  to  William  the  Lyon,  is  stated  to  be  606  years, 
which  is  an  obvious  mistake,  and  the  chronicle  must 
have  been  compiled  at  a  later  date,  and  probably 
by  an  Englishman,  as  it  shows  great  ignorance  of 
the  history  during  the  latter  part  Thus,  Henry, 
the  8(m  c^  David  the  Firat,  is  made  to  have  reigned 
aftar  him,  and  the  three  sisters,  Margareta,  Ysabdla, 
and  Ada,  the  daughters  of  his  youngest  son  David, 
Earl  of  Huntingdon,  are  here  made  the  daughters  of 
King  David  the  First  and  the  sisters  of  Henry.  The 
date  1466  has  been  added  in  a  different  hand,  but  the 
£ditor  is  of  opinion  that  the  chronicle  cannot  have 
been  written  after  t^e  publication  of  Fordun's  his- 
tory, and  that  it  belongs  to  the  fourteenth  centmy.

The  two  former  pretty  nearly  correspond  ;  the 
latter  is  somewhat  different.  Lynch,  in  his  "  Cam-

tract  without  hesitation  as  the  work  of  John

one  of  the  compilers  of  the  "  Book  of  Hy  Many," 
and  died  in  the  year  1372.  As  the  Trinity  Coll^

is  stated  to  have  been  written  by  John  O'Cianan  for

ditions, which  is  to  be  found  in  the  Edinburgh  Col- 
lege us.,  the  Royal  ua,  and  several  others.  Innes 
considered  that  these  additions  were  lat^  inter- 
polations, and  that  the  Scotch  College  us.  presented 
the  poem  in  its  original  form.  He  also  conndered 
that  the  poem  consisted  of  two  parts :  the  first  of 
which  was  composed  in  the  reign  of  Alexander  the 
Third ;  and  the  second  in  the  year  1447,  the  date 
given  in  the  end  of  the  poem  itself  as  that  of 
its  composition.  Finkerton,  in  a  paper  in  the  ap- 
pendix to  the  first  volume  of  his  essay,  has  con- 
troverted this  opinion  of  Innes,  and  ai^es  that 
&6  whole  poem  was  composed  at  the  same  time, 
viz.,  the  year  1447  ;  but  the  Editor  eoncnis  with 
Innes  in  his  opinion  that  a  part  of  the  poem  must 
have  been  written  in  or  shortly  after  the  reign  of 
Alexander  the  Third,  for  in  the  "  Instractiones,' 
and  in  the  "  Processus  "  of  Baldred  Bisset  in  1301, 
reference  is  made  to  the  "  Versus," — 

"  A  mnlieie  Scota  Tocetalnr  Sooda  tota ;" 
and  this  line  is  found  in  the  early  part  of  the 
"  Chronicon  Rhythmicum."    In  both  Teraions  there 
is  a  prose  prologue ;  l^t  in  the  Scotch  College  us. 
is  as  follows ; —

It  shows  that  the  poem  consisted  partly  of  an  older 
poem  incorporated  into  one  more  recent. 

The  Editor  likewise  concnrs  with  Lines  in  his 
preference  for  the  copy  in  the  Scotch  College  mb. 
He  considers  tihat  this  was  the  original  form  of  the 
poem,  and  that  it  was  subsequently  added  to,  proba- 
bly by  the  same  author,  after  the  completion  of  the 
"  Scotichronicon,"  who  inserted  in  it  the  lines  quoted 
byFordon,  to  whom  the  poem  itself  was  apparently 
unknown,  from  another  poem,  and  added  Beveral 
chapteiB  to  give  it  a  more  ambitious  appearance. 
These  additions  are  of  no  importance  for  the  early 
history  of  Scotland,  and  the  Editor  has  printed  his 
text  &om  the  Scotch  College  hs.,  which  is  now  in 
the  Catholic  library  in  Edinburgh,  and  collated  it 
with  the  Edinburgh  College  ms.

BoBche,  Archbishop  of  York,  is  found  in  one  of  the 
Cottonian  Mss.  (Cleopatra,  C.  iv.)  It  contains  a 
chapter  "De  aduentu  Scotorum  in  Britannia;"  and 
as  William  Bosche  was  archbishop  from  1452  to 
1462,  it  appears  to  fall  mthin  the  limits  of  this 
collection.     It  has  not  previoasly  been  printed.

CALLED  THE  Annaib  OP  ULSTER.— The  text  of  the

tnntw.  O  Connor  m  bis  "Kenim  Hibermcarum  Scnptorea 

"  veteres,"  ftom  the  Bodleiaji  Ma.  (BawUnson,  b.  489). 
It  is  by  no  means  accurate,  and  there  is  an  equally 
fine  Ma.  in  Trinity  CoU^e,  Dublin,  which  O'Connor 
appears  not  to  have  consulted.  He  printed  the 
text  down  to  the  year  1131  only,  though  the  Annals 
were  compiled  in  the  year  1498.  The  extracts 
here  printed  have  been  collated  with  both  hss.; 
and  those  subsequent  to  the  year  1131  have  not 
been  hitherto  printed.  In  both  Mas.  a  date  is  pre- 
fixed to  the  events  of  each  year,  and  likewise  tiie 
kalends  and  fericB.  The  date  of  the  Christian  era 
given  is,  generally  speaking,  one  year  behind  the 
true  date,  but  the  ferus  invariably  represent  one 
year  in  advance,  and  that  date  has  been  selected  as 
tha  marginal  date  for  all  the  extracts  &om  the

in  the  Eoyal  H&  (l7.  D.  xx.),  at  the  end  of  "  Wyn- 
"  tonn's  Chronide,"  and  appears  to  have  been  tran- 
scribed about  the  year  1530,  as  tiie  writer  states 
that  tiie  conquest  of  Ihe  Ficts  was  "  donne  sewyn 
"  hundir  zeire  synne,  yat  is  to  say,  ye  zeiie  of  oure

chronicle  itself  is  brought  down  to  the  year  1482 
only,  in  which  year  it  may  have  been  compiled. 
At  the  end  is  the  signature,  William  le  Neue,  York. 
The  latter  part,  from  the  year  1400,  has  been  printed 
in  Pinkerton's  "  History  of  Scotland "  {Vol.  L  Ap- 
pendix, No.  xxl),  but  die  former  part  has  not  been 
previously  printed.  It  is  here  inserted  as  fitly 
ccmduding  the  series  of  Chronicles  tmd  Memorials 
contained  in  this  collection. 

to.  the  Appendix  are  inserted  several  pieces  either  xrtMsoa. 
iDustrative  of  tie  foregoing  documents,  or  which 
the  Editor  has  been  unable  to  place  in  their  proper 
position  in  the  chronological  series.  Ka  i.  are  pas- 
sages from  the  "  Origines  "  of  Isidore  of  Seville,  to 
illustrate  the  introduction  to  the  "Pictish  Chronicle." 
No.  n.  is  an  Irish  version  of  the  "  Pictish  Chronicle  " 
contained  in  the  Trinity  College  MS.  (h.  3.  17.)  It 
is  obviously  transcribed  from  an  older  text,  and  the 
scribe  appears  not  to  have  understood  the  Latin  he 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


was  copying.  No.  in.  are  extracts  bearing  upon  t{he 
early  history  of  Scotland,  from  the  "  Fragments  of 
*'  Irish  Annak  transcribed  by  MaeFirlns,"  printed 
by  the  Irish  Archffiological  Society  from  a  MS.  in  the 
Bat^;imdiaii  Library  at  Brussels.  The  date  of  these 
annals  cannot  be  asciertained,  but  some  of  the  events 
recorded  in  them  are  probably  taken  from  older 
authorities.  No.  iv.  is  an  extract  from  an  Irish  life 
of  St.  Adonman,  of  uncertain  date,  but  evidently 
containing  genuine  tradition.  The  Editor  is  in- 
debted to  the  £ev.  Dr.  Reeves,  of  Armagh,  for  this 
extract.  No.  v.  is  an  extract  ficom  a  Latin  life  of 
St.  Boethius,  the  Buite  son  of  Bronaig,  whose  death 
is  recorded  in  the  "Irish  Annals"  in  the  same  year 
with  the  birth  of  St  Columba.  There  is  a  good 
copy  of  this  life  in  the  Bodldan  (Eawlinson,  b.  505), 
and  a  very  bad  one  in  the  British  Museum  (Claren- 
don, xzxix.)  The  former  has  been  selected  as  the 
text.  No.  VL  is  a  life  of  St.  Servanus,  contained  in 
a  us.  in  Bishop  Marsh's  Library,  Dublin,  along 
witii  a  version  of  Joceline's  "  Life  of  St.  Kentdgem." 
It  is  here  inserted,  because  it  is  manifestly  a  ver- 
sion of  the  life  which  Wyntoun  made  use  of  in  the 
"  Legend  of  St  Ser^"  or  Servanus,  which  he  in- 
serted in  his  chronicle.  Noa  vii.  aad  vm.  axe  the

Such  being  the  series  of  the  fragments  of  ouTKuRor 
chronicles  anterior  to  the  time  of  Fordun,  which  ^^|,*J^^ 
are  still  to  be  foimd,  it  remains  to  say  something  of  o""^"'™* 
their  bearing  upon  the  scheme  of  Uie  early  history 
of  Scotland  presented  by  that  writer  in  his  "  Scoti- 
"  chronicon ;"  and  for  this  purpose  it  will  be  neces- 
sary first  to  advert  to  the  ancient  topography  of  the 
country. 

Taking  the  frontier  of  the  kingdom  of  Scotland 
in  the  time  of  Fordun,  viz.,  the  Tweed,  the  Cheviots, 
and  the  Solway,  as  the  geographical  limits  of  our 
inquiry,  it  may  be  stated  as  an  undoubted  fact,  and 
one  lying  at  the  very  foundation  of  the  real  history 
of  the  country,  that,  prior  to  the  tenth  century, 
the  name  of  Scotland,  or  Scotia,  whether  in  its 
Saxon  or  in  its  Latiu  form,  was  not  applied  to  the 
whole,  or  any  part  of  this  territory.  Prior  to  that 
period,  these  names  were  appropriated  exclusively 
to  Ireland.  The  territory  forming  the  kingdom  of 
Scotland  was  included  under  the  general  term  of 
Britannia,  the  name  appbed  to  the  whole  island, 
but  the  northern  part  of  Britannia  was  likewise 
known  by  the  Celtic  name  of  Alba,  or  Alban.  The 
more  ancient  name  of  Ireland  was  Hibeniia,  and 
its  Celtic  name  Eire  or  Erin,  or,  in  its  Welsh  form, 
Twerdon.  From  an  early  period,  Ireland  likewise 
received  the  name  of  Scotia,  as  the  patria  or  mother 
conntry  of  the  Scots.    But  whUe  the  name  of  Scotia 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


was  exdusively  applied  to  Ireland  prior  to  the  tenth 
centuiy,  it  is  not  correct  to  say,  ae  many  Iriah 
writers  do,  that  the  term  Scotus  or  Scoti  was  ex- 
clusively used  to  designate  its  inhabitants.  Scotia 
was  a  territorial  or  geogn^hical  term,  and  was 
limited  to  the  country  which  bore  it  for  the  lime, 
but  Scotus  was  a  name  of  race  or  generic  term,  im- 
plying people  as  well  as  country.  The  geographical 
and  the  generic  terms,  though  connected  with  the 
same  people,  are  rarely  co-eztenaive,  and  as  the  race 
extends  beyond  the  limits  of  their  original  country, 
so  does  the  generic  term.  The  name  of  Scotus  was 
no  doubt  appUed  to  those  of  the  race  of  the  Scoti 
wherever  they  were  found.  WMle  Bede  talks  of  Ire- 
land as  being  the  "  Patria  Scotorum,"  and  applies  the 
name  of  Scotia  exclusively  to  that  island,  he  ^so 
mentions  the  Dalriads  aa  the  "  Scoti  qui  Britanniam 
"  inhabitant;"  and  there  can  be  little  doubt  that 
while  the  geographical  term  of  Scotia  was  confined 
to  the  island  of  Ireland,  the  generic  term  of  Scoti 
embraced  the  people  of  that  race  whether  inhabiting 
Ireland  or  Britain.  As  this  term  of  Scotia  was  a 
ge<^Taphical  term  derived  from  the  generic  name  of 
a  people,  it  was  to  some  extent  a  fluctuating  nam^ 
and  though  applied  at  first  to  Ireland,  which  pos- 
sessed  the  more  distinctive  name  of  Hibemia,  as  the 
principal  seat  of  the  race  from  whom  the  name  was 
derived,  it  is  obvious  that,  if  the  people  from  whom 
the  name  was  taken  iidiabited  other  coimtries,  the 
name  itself  would  have  a  tendency  to  pass  frt>m  the

PKRFACE. 


one  to  the  oilier,  according  to  tiie  prominence  which 
the  different  settlements  of  the  race  assmned  in  the  . 
history  of  the  world ;  and  as  the  race  of  the  Scots 
m  Brittun.  became  more  extended,  and  their  power 
more  formidable,  the  territorial  name  would  have  a 
tenden<^  to  fix  itself  where  the  race  had  become 
most  conspicuous.  The  mime,  under  its  Saxon 
form  of  Scotland,  passed  from  Ireland  to  Britain  in 
the  beginning  of  the  tenth  centuty,  and  was  ap- 
plied by  the  Saxon  historians  to  the  kingdom  of 
Constantino,  king  of  tiie  Scots  of  Britain,  who 
reigned  from  the  year  900  to  940.^  The  name, 
in  its  Latin  form  of  Scotia,  was  transferred 
from  Ireland  to  Scotland  in  the  reign  of  Malcolm 
the  Second,  who  reigned  from  1004  to  1034.'  It 
was  thus  in  the  beginning  of  the  tenth  century

of  the  subsequent  kmgdom  of  that  name,  and  in  the 
beginning  of  the  eleventh  century  that  the  name  of 
Scotia  was  so  used.  It  is  equally  clear  that,  when 
first  applied  to  any  part  of  North  Britain,  its  use 
was  restricted  to  a  district,  boimded  on  the  south

of  the  Firths  of  Forth  and  Clyde,  and  it  is  to  part 
of  this  covmtay  that  the  name  of  Scotia  was  fii&t 
applied. 

South  of  the  Firths,  on  the  east,  the  kingdom  of  LoUiiu. 
Nortiiumbria  extended  from  the  Humber  to  the  Firth 
of  Forth,  and  certainly  reached  as  far  west  as  the 
liver  Esl^  while  the  Angles  possessed  settlements 
beyond  that  river  abng  the  south  shores  of  the  Firth 
as  &r  as  Abercom.  The  Scottish  chromcles  apply  to 
this  part  of  the  south  of  Scotland  the  general  name 
of  Saxonia ;  but  after  the  district  from  the  Tweed  to 
the  Firth  of  Forth  was  ceded  by  Eadulf  Cudel,  Earl 
of  Northtimbria,  to  Malcolm  the  Second,  in  the  yefu: 
1020,  and  became  part  of  his  dominions,  it  went 
under  the  general  name  of  Laodonia  or  Lothian. 
On  the  west,  the  kingdom  oi  Combria,  or  Strath  Btmthdrda. 
Gyde,  inhaUted  by  a  Welsh  population,  and 
governed  by  its  own  proper  monarchs,  extended 
from  the  Firth  of  Clyde  far  into  England,  and  in-

Wigtown  and  Kirkcudbright  The  ancient  Celtic

was  formed  the  Latin  denominations  of  Gallovidia 
and  Gallweithia.  The  kingdom  of  Cumbria  was 
conquered  by  Edmund,  king  of  the  SazonB,  in  946, 
and  transferred  to  Malcohn,  king  of  the  Scots  ;  and, 
when  the  bonndary  between  England  and  Scotland 
was  finally  fixed  at  t^e  Solway  Firth,  the  name  of 
Gallovidia  or  Galloway  was  applied  to  the  whole  of 
the  western  dlHtricts,  extending  from  the  Solway 
Firth  to  the  Firth  of  Oyde.

^ptuMwi.  Qf  j^g  Strathdyde  Britons  lay  two  small  districts, 
tonned  Calatria  and  Campus  Manann.  Calatria 
was  the  district  extending  from  Falkirk  to  tiie  shore 
of  the  Firth,  comprising  what  is  called  t^e  Caise  of 
Falkirk,  and  probably  equivalent  -  to  the  ancient 
parish  of  that  name,  which  included  the  modem

by  the  Firth.^  West  of  this  lay  the  district  called 
Campus  Manand  or  Manann.  The  name  Marui-nd, 
is  the  same  in  form  with  the  Irish  mane  of  the 
Ide  of  Man,  also  called  Manand.  The  epithet 
Gwnypus  or  plain  was  probably  applied  to  it  to  dis- 
tingaish  it  from  the  island.  The  Welsh  form  of  the 
name  is  Manau,  and  the  Me  of  Man  was  likewise 
known  to  them  by  that  name.  The  district  they 
tenned  Mavnu  Gododin,  to  distinguish  it  from 
the  island,  and  it  ia  described  in  the  Saxon  and 
Welsh  additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum "  as 
"  Regio  que  vocatur  Manau  Gododin  in  parte

still  preserved  in  that  flat  and  barren  moor  forming 
the  parish  of  Slamannan,  and  called  of  old  SlamaU'

SUabh  Mcmnan,  the  word  Sliabh  meaning  a  moor, 
but  it  certainly  extended  as  far  as  the  river  Almond,

modem  county  of  Linlithgow ;  and  as  tbia  county

its  name  in  the  county  of  Clackmannan. 

Beyond  the  Firths  of  Forth  and  Clyde  the  great 
leading  physical  features  which  influenced  its  teiii- 
toiifll  distribution  were  two  great  mountain-chftinfl. 
One,  termed  the  Mounth,  extended  right  across  the 
island,  from  sea  to  sea,  in  one  continuous  ajid  un- 
broken ridge.  Its  western  termination  was  the 
great  mountain  of  Ben  Nevia,  rising  in  one  unbroken 
mass  from  a  plain  a  little  above  the  level  of  the  sea 
to  the  height  of  4370  feet,  from  thence  it  extended 
along  the  south  side  of  Glen  Spean  and  by  the  hill  of 
Ben  Alder  between  Loch  Laggan  and  Loch  Ericht ; 
it  then  forms  the  boundary  between  the  counties  of 
Perth  and  Inverness,  till  it  reaches  the  hiUs  at  the 
head  of  the  Dee,  rivalling  Ben  Nevis  in  height,  and 
it  continues  along  the  south  side  of  the  Dee,  forming 
the  great  barrier  between  the  county  of  Aberdeen 
on  the  one  hand,  and  those  of  Forfar  and  Kincar- 
dine on  the  other,  until  it  finally  sinks  into  the 
plain  near  the  eastern  sea.  Its  name  is  still  pre- 
served in  the  latter  part  of  the  range  in  the  pass 
over  the  hills  called  the  Cairn  o'  Monnth.  The 
second  great  mountain-chain  cots  it  at  right  angles, 
and  forms  the  great  wind  and  water  shear  which 
separates  the  waters  flowing  into  the  western  sea 
from  those  running  eastwards.  It  was  called  in 
Latin  Dorstun  BritannicB  and  Dorsi  Monies  Brit- 
annici,  and  its  Gaelic  name  was  Ihumalhan,  the 
Gaelic  word  Brum  being  the  equivalent  of  the  Latin

or  ridge  of  Scotland,  from  which  the  rivera  and 
glens  radiated  like  ribs  on  each  nde.  It  takes  its 
rise  north  of  the  level  isthmos  which  separates  the 
Firths  of  Forth  and  Clyde  in  the  mountains  lying  on 
the  east  ade  of  Loch  Lomond,  of  which  Ben  Lomond 
is  the  chiet  and  proceeds  by  the  head  of  Loch  Kat- 
rine to  the  Braes  of  Balquhidder,  and  then  forms  the 
chain  which  divides  the  county  of  Perth  from  that 
of  Aigyle.  This  part  of  the  range  is  termed,  in  the 
desoriptiou  of  Scotland  (No.  xvii.),  the  "Montes

of  the  name  are  found  in  Caimdnim  and  Tyndnun,

Broom,  at  a  place  where  the  waters,  running  east 
and  west,  flow  from  a  little  lake  called  Loch  Droma, 
or  "  the  Lake  of  the  Drum,"  till  it  finally  loses 
itself  in  the  mountains  of  Satherland.' 
praTiacM  north  Of  the  early  territorial  divisions  of  the  country 
^^  north  of  the  Firths  of  Forth  and  Clyde,  two  accounts 
have  been  preserred  to  uh,  in  the  "  Description  of 
"  Scotland"  (No.  xvii.),  which,  though  differing 
in  detail,  state  the  provinces  into  which  it  was 
divided  as  having  been  seven  in  number.  The 
first  account  states  the  seven  provinces  as  having 
consisted,  first,  of  Angus  and  Meams,  or  the  coun- 
ties of  Forfer  and  Kincardine  ;  second,  Athole  and 
Gowrie,  being  Perthshire  east  of  the  Tay  and  north 
of  Dunkeld ;  third,  Stratheam  and  Monteath,  form- 
ing the  south-western  part  of  Perthshire ;  fourth, 
Fife  and  Fothreve,  forming  the  modem  coimties  of 
Fife  and  Einross ;  fifth,  Mar  and  Buchan,  or  the 
counties  of  Aberdeen  and  Banff";  sixth,  Murray 
and  Boss,  or  the  counties  of  Elgin,  Nairn,  Inverness, 
Boss,  and  Cromarty ;  and  seventh,  Cathanesia,  or 
the  counties  of  Sutherland  and  Caithness. 

The  second  account  states  the  seven  provinces  as 
follows  : — The  first  consisted  of  a  district  described 
as  extending  from  the  Forth  to  the  Tay,  that  is,  of 
Monteath  and  Stratheam  ;  the  second  is  a  district

described  as  extending  &om  the  Tay  to  the  Hile^ 
and  then  as  the  sea  sweeps  round  the  district  till  it 
reaches  a  mountain  at  Athran,  near  Stirling.  If 
hj  Hilef  is  here  mefoit  the  Isla,  the  description  is 
inapplicable  to  the  boundary  of  any  district ;  but 
the  county  of  Perth  meets  the  county  of  Forfar 
on  the  shore  of  the  Firth  of  Tay  at  a  stream  called 
the  Lis*,  and  there  is  a  tradition  that  the  Isla  once 
flowed  into  the  sea  here.  If  the  LiQ*  is  the  stream 
meant^  the  description  is  plain  enough,  as  there  is 
no  doubt  that  Athran  is  the  modem  Aithrey,  for^ 
merly  called  Atheray,  near  Stirling.  This  pro- 
vince, then,  included  Gowrie,  Fife,  Kinross,  and 
Clackmannan.  The  third  district  is  described  as 
extending  from  the  Hilef  or  Liff  to  the  Dee — 
liiat  is,  the  modem  counties  of  Forfar  and  Eincai^ 
dine.  The  fourth  extends  from  the  Dee  to  the 
Spey,  including  the  counties  of  Aberdeen  and 
BimfiF;  the  fifth,  from  the  Spey  to  Bninalban,  or 
the  district  of  Athole ;  the  sixth,  Murray  and  Boss  ; 
and  the  seventh,  Arregaithel.  These  two  different 
accounts  of  the  seven  provinces  obviously  belong  to 
different  periods  in  the  history  of  the  country,  and 
probably  both  existed  in  their  own  period.  The 
leading  differences  between  the  two  are  that,  in  the 
second  account^  Gowrie  is  detached  from  Atiiole  and 
included  in  the  same  district  with  Fife  and  Fothreve, 
and  that  this  district  is  extended  west  as  far  as 
Aithrey,  near  Stirling;  and,  secondly,  that  Catha- 
nesia  is  omitted,  and  Arregaithel  substituted  for  it.

The  first  account  probably  belongs  to  a  period 
prior  to  the  Scottish  conquest,  while  the  little  king- 
dom of  Dalriada  on  the  west  coast  was  independent 
of  the  kingdom  of  the  Ficta,  and  these  seven  pro- 
vincea  belonged  to  the  latter  kingdom  only.  They 
formed  the  territory  which  was  termed  by  the  old 
Irish  writers  CTuithintuaith,  and  by  the  Latin 
chroniclers  Pictavia. 

The  second  account  probably  belongs  to  a  period 
afber  the  Scottish  conquest,  when  the  country  form- 
ing the  centre  of  the  Pictish  kingdom,  of  which 
Scone,  in  the  district  of  Gowrie,  was  the  chief  seat, 
was  more  immediately  subjected  by  them ;  when 
Cathanesia  had  been  taken  possession  of  by  the 
Norwegian  Earls  of  Orkney  ;  and  Arregaithel  united 
to  the  rest  of  the  kingdom. 

In  the  twelfth  century,  the  territory  forming 
the  later  kingdom  of  Scotland  presented  itself  as 
consisting  of  the  following  provinces : — South  of 
the  Firths  of  Forth  and  Clyde,  the  diataicts  were 
comprised  under  the  two  designations  of  Lao- 
donia  on  the  east,  and  Gallowedia  on  the  west. 
North  of  the  Firths,  lay  a  district  bounded  by 
the  Firth  of  Forth  on  the  south,  Drumalbsn  on 
the  west^  and  the  Spey  on  the  north,  which  first 
acquired  the  name  of  Albania,  and  afterwards  liiat 
of  Scotia,  when  that  name  was  first  appUed.  to  any 
part  of  Scotland.  It  was  usually  termed  in  docu- 
ments" of  that  period  Albania,  quce  modo  dicitur 
Scotia.    North  of  it,  beyond  the  Spey,  lay  the  dis-

tiict  of  Moravia,  consisting  of  Murray  and  Boss ; 
and  vest  of  it  extended  the  great  district  of  Ergadia, 
divided  &om  it  by  the  monies  qui  dividurU  Scotiam 
ab  Arregaithel.  This  district  extended  as  far  north 
as  Loch  Broom,  and  seema  to  have  consisted  of 
three  parts :  the  southern  part,  Ergadia  qiuB  ad 
Scotiam  peHinet;  the  middle  part,  Ergadia  qua 
ad  Moravia/m,  pertinet;  and  the  northern  part, 
Ergadia  Borealis  qua  est  comitia  de  Ros.  It  was 
a]flo  termed  Oirirgael  and  Oirir  Alhan,  and  waa 
divided  into  Oirir  an  deas,  or  the  southern  Oirir, 
and  Oirir  an  tuaitk,  or  the  northern  Oirir.  West  of 
this,  in  the  sea,  lay  the  Inchegall,  or  Western  Isles, 
termed  by  tiie  Norwegians  the  Sudreyar,  or  Sudreys.*

There  can  be  no  question  that  the  territory 
forming  the  subsequent  kingdom  of  Scotland  was, 
in  the  seventh  century,  when  we  have  sure  historic 
data  to  go  upon,  peopled  by  four  races,  the  Piets, 
Scots,  Angles,  and  Britons  or  WelsL  For  this  we 
have  the  authority  of  Bede.  Writing  of  a  period 
when  his  testimony  cannot  be  questioned,  he  b&jb 
of  Oswald,  king  of  Northumbria,  who  reigned  from 
634  to  642  :  "  Denique  omnes  natioues  et  provin- 
"  cias  Brittaniffi,  quae  in  quatuor  linguas,  id  est, 
"  Brittonum,  Fictorum,  Scottorum  et  Anglormn 
"  divisse  sunt,  in  ditione  accepit "  (Lib.  IIL  c.  vi) ; 
and  this  statement  affords  ub  a  certain  basis  to  start 
from.  What  the  earlier  relations  of  these  four  races 
towards  each  other  had  been,  we  learn  from  a  pas- 
sage of  the  Koman  historian,  Ammianus  Marcellinus, 
who  describes  the  first  great  outburst  of  the  Bar- 
baric tribes  upon  the  Boman  province  in  Britain, 
in  the  year  360,  when  he  says,  under  the  year  364, 
"  Picti  Saxoneaque  et  Scoti  et  Attacoti  Britannos 
"  serumnis  vexavere  continuis."  The  Britons  were 
the  inhabitants  of  the  Boman  province,  which  then 
extended  to  the  Firths  of  Forth  and  Clyde,  and  was 
protected  from  the  Barbaric  tribes  by  the  Eoman 


the  charter  by  Bobert  the  Fint  to 
Thomu  Randolph  of  the  king's 
luida  in  Moisria,  they  ire  said  to

wall  between  theee  estuaries ;  and  the  Picts,  Scots, 
and  Saxona  Tvere  then  the  aasailanta  of  the  pro- 
vince. 

Two  centuries  and  a  half  afterwards,  all  fonr 
nations  occupied  fixed  settlements  in  Britain,  and 
had  formed  permanent  kingdoms  within  its  Hmita. 

When  Bede  states  emphatically  that,  in  the  year  The  Aogiw. 
449,  the  "Gens  Anglorum  aive  Saxonum"  had 
been  invited  by  King  Vortigem  to  protect  the 
Britons  against  the  Picts  and  Scots,  and  then 
settled  for  the  first  time  in  the  island,  there  can  be 
little  doubt  that  he  had  affixed  a  purely  artificial 
date  to  what  was  a  mere  legendary  account  of  their 
first  settlement ;  and  there  is  every  reason  to  beUeve 
that  tribes  of  the  great  confederate  nation  of  the 
Saxons  had  efiected  settlements  on  the  east  coast  of 
Britain  long  before  that  period.  The  author  of 
the  "  HJfltoria  Britonum,"  certainly  writing  at  a 
period  equally  early,  dates  the  first  arrival  of  the 
Saxons  in  the  347th  year  after  the  Passion  of 
Christ ;  and  in  a  Welsh  chronicle  printed  in  this 
collection  (Na  xxvi.),  the  age  of  Vortigem  is  said 
to  have  been  128  years  before  the  battle  of  Badwn, 
which  the  chronicle  attached  to  the  "Historia 
"  Britonima"  dates  at  616,  thus  removing  him  to 
the  year  388.  When  Bede,  however,  in  the  short 
summary  contidned  in  his  last  chapter,  states, 
"  Anno  DXLvn.  Ida  regnare  coepit,  a  quo  regalis 
"  Nordanhymbrorum  prosapia  originem  tenet,  et 
"  duodecim  annis  in  regno  permansit,"  he  probably

states  a  fact^  the  date  of  which  was  well  ascertained, 
while  the  narrative  in  the  "  Historia  Britonum  "  ia 
brought  down,  "aisque  ad  tempus  quo  Ida  regnavit, 
"  qui  fait  Eobba  filius,  ipse  fait  primus  rex  in 
"  Beomicia,  id  eat,  im  Bemeich."  It  ia  ^th 
Bemicia  alone  that  we  have  here  to  do,  though  it 
formed  only  a  part  of  the  kingdom  of  Northumbria ; 
but  being  that  part  of  it  which  lay  to  the  north  of  the 
river  Tyne,  it  alone  was  comprised  within  the  limitB 
of  the  kingdom  of  Scotland  in  the  days  of  Fordon. 
We  may  hold  it  then  as  certain  that,  prior  to  the 
year  547,  there  were  settlements  b£  Angles  on  the 
east  coast  of  Britain,  lying  betwerai  the  Humber  and- 
the  Firth  of  Forth,  and  that  in  that  year,  Ida  had 
formed  a  kingdom  in  the  old  British  district  colled 
Bryneich,  the  chief  seat  of  which  was  the  CastJe  of 
Bamborough,  and  which  extended  by  degrees  north- 
wards till  it  reached  the  Firth  of  Forth.  Ida, 
according  to  Bede,  died  in  the  year  559,  but  while 
the  possessions  of  tiie  Angles  in  Deira,  which  lay 
south  of  the  Tees,  fell  under  the  sway  of  Ella,  a 
chief  of  the  Angles,  to  whom  a  different  pedigree  is 
given,  Ida  was  succeeded  in  Bemicia  by  aght  of 
his  sons,  who  reigned  one  after  another.  Their 
names  are  given  in  the  addition  to  Nennius,  but  in 
the  order  in  which  'diey  are  stated  to  have  reigned 
l^  him,  by  Florence  of  Worcester,  and  by  Simeon 
of  Durham,  they  differ  very  much  from  each  other. 
All  the  lists  agree  in  making  Adda  the  successor  of 
Ida,  but  a  comparison  of  the  lists  shows  very  clearly

On  the  death  of  Ethelfred,  Edwin,  the  son  of 
Ella,  king  of  the  Angles  of  Deira,  drove  his  sons  out 
of  Bemicia,  and  united  both  divisions  of  North- 
nmbtia  under  his  own  rule.  Three  of  the  sodb  of 
Etiielfred  who  afterwards  reigned,  viz.,  EanMd, 


jdovGoot^lc 


Oswald,  and  Osway,  according  to  Bede,  had  taken 
refuge  with  the  Picts  or  Scots,  and  remained  in  exile 
during  the  whole  of  the  reign  of  Edwin.  We  know 
from  Bede  that  Oswald  took  refuge  in  lona  among 
the  Columban  monks  of  the  Scottish  race.  Ean£rid 
Beems  to  have  been  received  by  the  Pictish  king^ 
and  to  have  married  a  Fictish  princess,  whose  son 
afterwards  reigned  over  the  Picts.  After  a  reign  of 
seventeen  years,  Edwin  was  slain  in  battle  by  Cead- 
walla,  king  of  the  Britons,  who  had  invaded  bis 
territories  in  conjunction  with  Penda,  king  of  the 
Mercians.  The  battle  in  which  he  was  slain  was 
fought,  according  to  Bede,  on  12th  October  633,  at 
a  place  which  he  calls  Haethfelth,  supposed  to  be 
Hatfield,  in  the  West  Biding  of  Yorkshire ;  but  in 
the  additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum,"  it  is 
called  the  battle  of  Meicen.  On  the  death  of  Edwin, 
Ean&ed,  the  son  of  Ethelfred,  was  recalled,  and 
placed  over  Bemicia,  but  was  slain  by  the  British 
king  after  a  year,  who  was  in  his  tum  slain  in  battle 
by  Oswald  at  a  place  called  by  Bede,  Denisesbuma,  or 
Hefenfelth,  near  the  Roman  wall,  but  which,  in  the 
additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum,"  is  called  the 
battle  of  Catscaul.  Although  Bede  does  not  name 
the  British  king  who  was  slain  in  this  battle,  he  cer- 
tainly implies  that  it  was  the  same  OeadwaUa  who 
slew  King  Edwin  in  the  previous  year ;  but  Tigha:- 
nac  seems  to  indicate  that  they  were  different  per- 
sons, for  he  calls  the  king  who  fought  with  Edwin 
*'  Con,  Rex  Britonum,"  while  he  terms  the  king

who  slew  Eanfiid,  and  was  himself  alain  by  Oswald, 
"  Cathlon,  Rei  Britonum." 

The  short  notices  of  ereute  under  the  reigns  of  tiw  b 
the  sons  oi  Ida,  given  in  the  additions  to  the  "  Hia- 
"  toria  Britonum,"  show  that  soon  after  Ida's  death 
they  had  come  into  contact  with  kii^  of  the  north- 
em  Britons,  and  ihej  appear,  before  the  accession  of 
Edwin,  to  have  extended  their  territories  to  the  Firth 
of  Forth,  and  to  have  wrested  the  whole  of  the  east- 
em  districts  from  them, — conquests  which  were  com- 
pleted and  firmly  establiahed  by  Edwin  himself 
who,  according  to  Bede,  "Onmes  BrittaniEe  fines, 
"  qua  vel  ipsorum  vel  Britonum  provincise  habitant, 
"  subditioneacceperit"  (Lib.  n.  c  ii.)  TheBritons 
appear  from  the  notices  of  their  conflicts  with  the 
sons  of  Ida  to  have  been  divided  into  several  petty 
states,  under  their  own  kinglets,  and  were  now  con- 
fined to  the  western  districts,  extending  from  the 
Mersey  to  the  Krth  of  Clyde.  A  great  battle,  how- 
ever, was  fought  in  the  year  573,  at  a  place  called 
Ardderyd,  which  can  be  clearly  identified  with 
Arthuret,  on  the  banks  of  the  river  Esk,  about  five 
miles  nori;h  of  Carlisle,  in  the  narrow  plain  which 
forms,  as  it  were,  a  great  pass  between  the  British 
territories  lying  noriii  and  south  of  the  Solway. 
This  battle,  though  the  subject  of  much  bardie 
tradition,  seems  undoubtedly  to  have  been  a  his- 
torical event,  and  the  result  of  it  was  to  unite 
the  greater  part  of  these  districts  under  the 
away  of  one  monarch,  termed,  in  the  additions  to 


jdovGoot^lc 


the  "  Hietoria  Biitonum,"  Rydercheu,  who  fixed 
his  seat  at  the  strong  fortification  termed  by  Bede 
Alcljde,  and  known  to  the  Gaelic  population  by 
the  name  of  I)unbreatan,  or  the  fort  of  the  Bri- 
tons, afterwards  comipted  into  Dumbarton.  We 
are  now  on  historic  ground,  as  this  king  is  men- 
tioned by  Adomnan  in  his  "  Life  of  8t  Columba,^'  who 
entitles  one  of  his  chapters,  "  De  rege  Boderco  filio 
"  Tothail,  qui  in  Petra  Cloithe  regnavit,  Beati  viri 
"  piophetia ;"  and  a  succession  of  kings  of  the  same 
race  followed  him  till  the  reign  of  Constantine,  king 
of  Scots,  in  the  b^;inning  of  the  tenth  century, 
when,  on  the  death  of  Donald,  king  of  the  Britons, 
the  brother  of  the  Scottish  king  waa  elected  his  sue- 
cessor,  and,  in  the  year  946,  the  kingdom  of  Strath 
Clyde,  or  Cumbria,  was  invaded  and  conquered  by 
Cdmund,  king  of  Kogland,  and  given  by  ^™  to 
Malcolm,  the  Scottish  king.  A  genealogy  of  these 
British  kings  of  Strath  Clyde  is  fortunately  pre- 
served in  the  additions  to  the  "Historia  Britonum" 
(No.  u.  D.),  and  serves  to  connect  the  scattered 
notices  of  them  which  occur  in  the  chronicles.  The

If  that  part  of  Scotland  which  lay  to  the  south  The  picti. 
of  the  Firths  of  Forth  aud  Clyde  was  thus  divided 
between  an  Anglic  and  a  British  or  Welsh  popu- 
lation, the  northern  r^ons  beyond  these  great 
natural  landmarks  were  apparently  shared  between 
the  Pictish  and  the  Scottish  nations;  while  Bede, 
who  makes  the  Scots  a  colony  &om  Ireland,  indi- 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


cates  that  before  their  arriTal,  the  Picta  were  in 
the  exclusive  posseasiou  of  that  part  of  Scotland. 
The  tradition  of  the  settlement  of  the  Picta  is  repre- 
sented to  us  in  several  distinct  forma  By  Bede,  by 
the  "  Hiatoria  Britonum,"  and  by  the  Welsh  tradi- 
tions, they  appear  as  a  people  comii^  from  Scythia, 
and  acquiring  first  Orkney,  and  afterwards  CaitJi- 
ness,  and  then  spreading  over  Scotland  from  the 
north.  In  the  "  Pictish  Chronicle "  the  Picti  and 
the  Scoti  are  both  derived  fit)m  the  Albani  of 
Albania  in  Asia,  and  are  made  two  branches  of  the 
same  people.  la  the  additions  to  the  Irish  Nennius 
they  appear  under  the  name  of  Cruithne,  and  are  said 
to  have  been  originally  Agathyrsi,  and  to  have  taken 
possession  of  the  islands  Orkney,  from  whence  they 
spread  over  the  north  of  Britain,  under  their  epony- 
mus  Cruithne,  who  bad  seven  sons,  who  divided  the 
land  into  seven  divisions  ;  from  thence  a  portion  of 
them  go  to  France,  and  build  the  city  of  Pietavis  or 
Poitiers,  and  return  from  thence  to  Ireland,  from 
whence  they  are  once  more  driven  to  Scotland ;  and 
part  of  t^is  tradition  appears  in  a  more  extended 
shape,  and  is  said  to  have  been  taken  from  the  books 
of  the  Piets  (No.  v.,  a.  B.  c.)  In  another  form  of 
the  tradition,  they  come  from  Thrace,  under  six  bro- 
thers, and  land  in  Ireland,  where  a  part  remain  and 
colonize  the  plain  of  Bregia,  in  Meath,  and  the  rest 
go  to  Scotland,  under  the  leading  of  Cathluan,  from 
whom  seventy  kings  reign  in  Scotland  to  Conatantine, 
the  last  of  the  Picta  (No.  v.,  D.)    In  another  form,  it 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


is  Cnitbnechan  who  is  sent  by  the  sons  of  Milesius 
from  IrelaDd  to  assist  the  Britons  of  Foitreu  against 
the  Saxons,  and  wrests  from  the  latter  the  district 
of  Maghcircin,  or  the  Meams,  which  he  retains  as  his 
sword-laad  (No.  v.,  e.)  In  another  form,  they  are 
eighteen  Boldiers  of  Thrace,  who  encounter  the  Mile- 
sians in  Germany,  on  their  wanderings  firom  Egypt, 
and  accompany  them  to  Ireland,  where  they  are  put  in 
possession  of  Cruithintuaith  or  Pictavia,  in  Scotland ; 
and  in  one  form  of  this  tradition,  the  Cruithne  of 
Ulster  axe  likewise  identified  with  them  (Nos.  xui., 
ZLm.)  In  all  of  these  traditions  it  is  obvious  that 
they  are  taken  in  their  wanderings  to  every  part  of 
Europe  where  the  name  of  Picti  or  Pictones  could 
be  found,  and  connected  with  every  people  who  re- 
sembled them  either  in  name,  or  of  whom  the  custom 
of  painting  the  body,  by  pimcturing  the  skin,  which 
was  their  peculiar  characteristic,  is  recorded.  Of 
these  traditions,  some  are  probably  of  British  origin, 
some  are  the  traditions  of  the  Picts  themselves, 
and  some  connected  with  the  Irish  fables.  It  is 
undoubted  that  a  great  part  of  the  population  of 
Ulster,  though  latterly  confined  within  narrow 
limits,  consisted  of  a  people  termed  likewise  Cruithne, 
and  that  there  was  also  a  settlement  of  them  in 
Meath;  and  there  can  be  little  doubt  that  they  were, 
in  point  of  fact,  the  same  people.  There  is  even 
reason  to  conclude  that,  down  to  the  beginning  of 
the  seventib  century,  they  were  so  closely  connected 
as  to  form  but  one  nation.    At  a  time  when  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


whole  of  the  north  of  Scotknd  aad  part  of  the 
north  of  Ireland  was  peopled  by  the  same  race  of 
Cnutbne,  there  must  have  been  much  mtercourse 
between  them,  and  both  countriea  must  have  been 
viewed  by  them  as  one  territory.  Whether,  there- 
fore, the  traditions  represent  them  as  first  arriving 
in  Ireland  and  proceeding  to  Scotland,  or  first  arriving 
in  Scotland  and  paasing  over  to  Ireland,  it  amounts^ 
in  point  of  fact,  to  no  more  than  that  Cruithne  of 
the  same  race  were  to  be  found  in  both  countries. 

One  common  feature,  however,  accompanies  almost 
every  form  of  this  tradition,  viz.,  that  the  Cruithne  or 
Picta  were  a  colony  of  soldiers  who  married  wives 
whom  they  had  obtained  from  the  Irish.  This 
feature  existed  at  a  very  early  date,  as  it  is  men- 
tioned by  Bade,  and  acquired  strength  from  the 
£Etct  that  it  was  connected  with  a  peculiar  form  of 
succession  through  females  among  the  Picts,  of 
whom  it  was  supposed  to  indicate  the  origin.  Ac- 
cording to  Bade,  they  applied  for  and  obtaioed 
wives  from  the  ScotL  In  the  Welsh  traditions,  they 
are  said  to  have  applied  first  to  the  Britons,  by 
whom  they  were  refused,  and  afterwards  gone  to 
Ireland  and  obtained  wives  of  GwyddyL  In  the 
Irish  traditions,  they  apply  to  the  sons  of  Milesius 
to  give  them  the  wives  of  a  party  of  Milesians  who 
had  been  drowned  on  their  voyage  to  Ireland.  The 
original  form  of  the  tale  probably  is,  that  they  are 
said  to  have  obtained  wives  of  the  race  of  Gwyddyl, 
or  Gael.

All  such  legendB,  howev^  fianci&l  ot  childish 
they  appear  to  be,  ezpreas  some  troth,  or  contain 
within  them  aome  ethnologic  fact,  and  it  is  the 
existence  of  the  peculiar  truth  or  fact  which  creates, 
8B  it  were,  the  legend  which  is  supposed  to  ac- 
count for  it.  Such  legends  either  express  the 
popalar  explanation  of  Bome  social  or  ethnologic 
peculiarity,  or  a  genuine  tradition  is  conveyed 
under  the  form  of  a  symbolic  or  allegoric  tale. 
Thifi  kind  of  legend  of  a  colony  of  soldiers  many- 
ing  wives  &om  a  population  which  preceded  them 
in  the  country  is  not  peculiar  to  the  Picts,  and 
its  meaning  is  well  indicated  by  t^e  analogous  case 
of  the  Britons  of  Armorica.  Nennius,  in  relating 
the  l^endary  settlement  of  the  Britons  in  Aimoiica 
under  Maximus,  has  this  addition  in  some  copies  : 
"  Acceptisque  eorum  uxoribus  et  filiabus  in  con- 
"  jugium,  omnes  earum  linguae  amputaverunt,  ne 
**  eonun  successio  matemam  linguam  disceret ;" 
that  is,  in  order  to  prevent  their  descendants  speak- 
ing the  language  of  their  motheiB'  race,  they  cat  out 
their  tongues.  According  to  the  l^nd,  if  dm  had 
not  been  done,  the  colonizing  Britons  would  have 
spoken  the  language  of  the  people  from  whom  they 
had  obtained  wives.  The  legend  is  based  upon  the  con- 
ception that  children  learn  their  langaage  &om  their 
mothers,  and  is  convej^  in  the  popular  expression 
"  the  mother  tongue."  As  soon,  therefore,  as  the  idea 
took  root  that  the  Ficts  were  not  the  old  inhabitants 
of  the  country,  but  a  foreign  colony  who  settled 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


among  them,  if  their  language  was  at  all  akin  to 
that  of  the  older  population,  the  popular  explanation 
most  at  once  have  axieen,  that  they  had  married 
wives  of  the  older  race,  from  whom  they  learned 
their  language ;  but  while  the  primary  idea  in  this 
l^nd  is  a  linguistic  one,  it  certainly  may  also  have 
been  intended  to  account  for  an  obvious  mixture  of 
race.  In  the  Welsli  legends,  the  Picts  are  said 
&om  this  marriage  wit^  wives  of  the  race  of  the 
Gwyddyl,  to  have  been  called  Gwyddyl  Ffichti;  but 
in  the  form  of  it  in  Layamon's  "Brut"  it  is  un- 
doubtedly used  to  explain  the  language  of  the 
Picts  :— 

"  Through  the  same  women. 
Who  there  long  dwelt, 
The  folic  g&n  to  speak 
Iieland's  speech;" 

and  the  same  idea  is  expressed  in  the  chronicle 
quoted  in  the  "  Scala  Chronica,"  which  states  that 
they  obtained  their  wives  from  Ireland,  "  on  condi- 
"  tion  that  their  issue  should  speak  Irish." 

The  other  peculiarity,  which  this  legend  was  sup- 
posed to  account  for,  was  the  law  of  succession  among 
the  Picts  through  females.  Bede  states  that  they 
obtained  their  wives  from  the  Scots,  "  ea  solum 
"  conditione,  ut  ubi  res  perveniret  in  dubium,  magis 
"  de  feminea  regum  prosapia,  qiiam  de  masculina, 
"  regem  sibi  eligerent,  quod  usque  hodie  apud 
"  Pictos  constat  esse  servatum"  (Lib.  i.  c  i.)  This 
testimony  of  Bede  shows  that  such  a  rule  of  suc- 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


cession  undoubtedly  existed  and  was  in  force  among 
the  PictB  in  his  day.  It  implies  that  succession 
throng  males  took  place  up  to  a  certain  pointy  and 
that^  when  that  failed,  succession  through  females 
was  preferred.  The  same  idea  is  expressed  in  the 
Irish  legends  in  different  forms.  On  examining  the 
list  of  the  Fictish  kings  down  to  the  times  of  Bede, 
we  find  that  there  are  numerous  instances  of  brothers 
succeeding  each  other,  bat  that  in  no  one  instance 
does  a  son  succeed  his  father.  Where,  therefore, 
ttere  were  several  sons  of  the  same  mother,  they 
appear  to  have  succeeded  each  other  according  to  a 
law  of  male  succeasion  of  very  general  appUcation, 
which  preferred  brothers  before  sons ;  but  when  the 
last  brother  had  succeeded,  the  period  seems  to  have 
arrived  expressed  by  Bede  in  the  words,  "  ubi  res 
"peirveniret  in  dubium,"  and  then  the  succession  went 
tluoogh  daughters  in  preference  to  sons.  Such  a  cus- 
tom must  manifestly  have  arisen  &om  an  originally 
lax  relation  among  the  sexes,  when  no  filiation  could 
be  predicated  with  certainty,  except  between  a  son 
and  a  mother,  and  thus  alone  tiie  continuance  of 
the  royal  blood  could  be  secured. 

But  the  lists  of  the  Fictish  kings  preset,  on 
examination,  some  finiiher  peculiarities.  First, 
The  names  of  the  fathers  and  of  the  sons  are 
quite  difierent.  In  no  case  does  the  name  borne 
by  any  of  the  sons  appear  among  the  names  of  the 
fcthers,  nor,  conversely,  is  there  an  instance  of  the 
other's  name  appearing  among  the  sons.    Second,

The  names  of  the  sons  conmst  of  a  few  FictiBh 
names  borne  by  sons  of.  different  fath^^  There 
are — 6  Drusts,  6  Talo:^  3  Nectans,  2  Galans, 
6  Gartnaidhs,  4  Brudea.  In  no  case  does  the 
name  of  a  father  occur  twice  in  the  list  of  fathers. 
Third,  In  the  list  there  are  two  cases  of  sons 
bearing  Fictish  names  whose  fathers  are  known  to 
have  been  strangers,  and  these  are  the  only  fath^s 
of  whom  we  have  any  account  They  are — 1. 
Talorg  Mac  Ain&it.  His  fadier  was  undoubtedly 
AinMt,  son  of  AethelMt,  long  of  Northumbria, 
who  took  refuge  among  the  Picts,  and  ^terwards 
became  king  of  Northumbria.  2.  Brude  Mac  Bil& 
His  father  was  a  Welshman,  king  of  the  8trath- 
clyde  Britons.  In  an  old  poem,  Brude  Mac  Bile  is 
called  son  of  the  king  of  AUduaide,  i.e.,  Dumbarton ; 
and  when,  by  the  battle  of  Dunnichen,  he  became 
king  of  the  Picts,  another  old  poem  says,  "  to-day 
"  Brude  fights  a  battle  about  the  land  of  his  grand- 
"  father."  Mr.  M'licnnan,  in  his  very  original 
work  on  primitive  marriage,  to  whom  these  facts 
were  communicated  by  the  Editor,  states  that  they 
raise  a  strong  presumption  "that  all  the  fathers 
"  were  men  of  other  tribes.  At  any  rate,  there  re- 
"  mains  the  fact  that,  after  every  deduction  has  been 
"  made,  the  fathers  and  mothers  were  in  no  case  of 
"  the  same  family  name ;"  and  he  refers  its  origin  to 
the  existence  among  them  at  an  early  period  of 
what  he  calls  "polyandry,"  with  which  he  considerB 
that  the  system  of  Idnship  through  females  only  is 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


invariabl;-  connected.  To  this  it  may  be  added 
that  the  chiLdrai  of  foreign  parents  by  Pictish  - 
mothers  bearing  exclusively  Pictish  names  show 
that  they  were  adopted  into  the  tribe  of  their 
mothers ;  and  if  it  was  a  social  law  of  the  Picts 
that  the  women  coidd  alone  marry  either  strangeis 
or  men  of  a  different  tribe,  while  the  language  of 
the  people  was  akin  to  that  spoken  by  the  Gwyddyl 
or  Gael,  it  may  not  unnaturally  have  given  rise  to 
the  legend  that  the  Picts  were  a  stranger  people, 
who  had  married  wives  of  the  race  of  the  Gwyddyl 
on  condition  that  their  succession  should  take  plaee 
through  females  only. 

Taming  now  to  the  legend  which  is  expressly  said 
to  have  berai  taken  &om  the  books  of  the  Picte,  and 
therefore  applies  more  peculiarly  to  their  kingdom  in 
Scotland,  we  find  it  there  stated  that  Cruitbn^  the 
eponymus  of  the  race,  had  seven  sons.  Fib,  Fidaeh, 
Fodla,  Fortran,  Cait^  Ce,  Ciric,  and  that  they 
divided  the  country  into  seven  portions.  This 
means  sdmply  that  the  territory  occupied  by  the 
Cmithne  in  Scotland  consisted  of  seven  provinces 
bearing  tjiese  names.  Five  of  these  can  be 
identified.  Fib  is  obviously  Fife,  Fortren  can 
be  identified  with  the  western  parts  of  the 
county  of  Perth,  including  the  vale  of  Stratheam ; 
Fodla  appears  in  the  name  Atfodla,  the  old  form  of 
the  word  now  corrupted  into  Athole ;  Ciric  or 
Circin,  as  he  appears  in  the  "  Pictish  Chronicle," 
is  found  in  the  name  Maghcircin,  now  corrupted 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


into  Meams ;  Cait  is  Cathanesia  or  Caithnese ;  and 
the  only  two  names  unidentified,  are  Fidach  and 
Ce.  In  one  of  the  legends,  the  Picta  are  said  to 
have  extended  from  Cait  to  Forcu.  The  former  ia 
Caithness,  the  latter  obviously  the  word  Forch  or 
Froch,  the  name  given  to  the  Fortii,  in  which  it  is 
still  preserved  ;  and  this  whole  territory,  which  was 
divided  into  these  seven  provinces,  was  called 
Gruithintuaith.  This  legend  proceeds  to  say  that 
Oenbecan,  the  son  of  Cait,  was  king  over  the  whole 
seven  provinces,  and  that  Finechta  was  king  over 
Erin,  diat  ia,  over  the  Cruithne  of  Ireland ;  and  it  is 
added  that  he  took  hostages  of  the  Cruithne.  This 
little  fact  stated,  aflfords  a  clue  to  the  date  of  the 
foundation  of  the  great  kingdom  of  the  Ficts ;  for 
the  same  legend  states  that  thirty  kings  of  the  Picts 
ruled  over  Alban  and  Erin  for  150  years;  and 
another  form  of  the  Irish  legend  states  that  there 
were  thirty  kings  of  the  Cruithne  over  Erin  and 
Alban,  viz.,  of  the  Cruithne  of  Alban,  and  of  the 
Cruithne  of  Erin,  from  Ollamhan  to  Fiachna 
Mac  Baedain,  who  fettered  the  hostages  of  Erin  and 
Alban.  Finechta  is  there  given  as  the  eon  and 
successor  of  OUamhan,  and  if  he  took  hostages  of 
the  Cruithne,  and  Fiachna  Mac  Baedan  fettered  the 
hostages  of  Erin  and  Alban,  we  seem  to  have  a 
t&Tninus  a  guo  and  a  termintts  ad  quem  for  the 
union  of  the  Cruithne  of  the  two  countries  imder  the 
same  supreme  sovereignty.  Fiachna  Mac  Baedan 
reigned  over  Dalnaraidhe,  or  the  Irish  Picts,  from 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


592  to  626,  and  a  period  of  150  years  taken  from 
these  dat«s  gives  na  a  year  between  442  and  476 
for  the  commencement  of  the  Fictish  monarchy, 
— a  date  not  many  years  after  the  event  recorded 
by  Gildaa,  where  he  says,  "  Picti  in  estrema 
"  parte  insulBB  turn  primum  et  deinceps  requi- 
"  everunt"  Finechta  is  followed  by  four  kings, 
the  last  two  of  whom  are  Gest  and  Urgest>  and 
then  follows  Brude  Pont,  and  it  is  added,  that 
there  were  thirty  Brades,  but  twenty-eight  only 
are  enumerated ;  fourteen  of  them  have  a  mono- 
syllabic epithet  after  their  name,  and  the  other 
fourteen  the  same  monOByllable,  with  the  prefix  Ur, 
It  is  probable,  therefore,  that  G^st  and  Urgent  Bhould 
be  added  to  make  up  the  thirty.  It  is  added  that 
these  are  the  names  of  the  men,  and  the  portions  of 
the  men  ;  and  the  whole  is  said  to  be  taken  from 
the  books  of  the  Picta.  That  these  monosyllables 
enter  into  the  composition  of  the  Pictish  proper 
names  is  plain  enough;  but  they  probably  also 
entered  into  the  names  of  smaller  districts,  which 
cannot  now  be  identified 

The  southern  portion  of  the  Picts,  which,  according 
to  Bede,  were  divided  from  the  northern,  "  Arduis 
**  atqne  horrentibus  montium  jugis,"  had  been  before 
this  tame  converted  to  Christianity  by  the  preaching 
of  St.  Ninian ;  and  Bede  states  that  in  the  ninth 
year  of  Brude,  son  of  Maelcon,  who  reigned  over  the 
northern  Picts,  that  division  of  the  nation  was  con- 
verted to  Christianity  by  St  Columba.     We  now 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc     , 


find  ourselves  upon  historic  ground,  for  this  king  is 
likewise  mentioned  by  Adomnan  in  his  "  Life  of  St 
"  Colamba,"  who  describes  him  as  having  his  palace 
on  the  banks  of  the  river  Ness,  where  it  issues  fircon 
the  lake  of  tiiat  name.  He  also  occurs  in  all  the  lists 
of  the  Fictiah  kings  as  having  reigned  thirty  years, 
and  his  death  is  recorded  by  Tighemac  in  the  year 
683,  whidi  would  place  his  ninth  year  in  the  year 
562,  while  he  records  the  mission  of  St  Columba  in 
the  foUowing  year.  The  chionicles,  in  the  main, 
agree  in  his  successors  down  to  the  period  of  the 
reign  of  Oswald.  Bnide  was  succeeded  by  Gamait, 
son  of  Donald,  and  he  by  Nectan,  son  or  grandson 
of  Verb,'  after  whom  comes  Cinoch,  son  of  Luchtren, 
and  he  is  followed  by  three  brothers,  who  reigned  in 
succession,  Gamad,  Bredei,  and  Talorc,  sons  of  Wid 
or  Foith,  who  occupied  the  Pictiah  throne  during 
the  whole  of  the  reign  of  Oswald. 

The  Ficts  then  possessed  the  whole  of  Scotland 
nortih  of  the  Firths  of  Forth  and  Qyde,  with  the 
exception  of  the  comparatively  small  district  lying 
to  the  north  of  the  Firth  of  Clyde,  termed  Dahiada,

and  occapied  by  the  Scots,  and  were  separated  feora 
them  by  Drumalban.  This  part  of  their  kingdom  was 
termed  GruitheTituaith  or  Pictavia. 

South  of  the  Firths,  they  formed  the  population  of 
the  two  districts  of  the  "  Campiis  Manami"'  and  of 
Galloway.  This  statement  appears  at  first  sight  to 
be  inconsistent  with  the  language  of  Bede,  which 
certainly  implies  that  he  knew  of  no  Picts  south  <^ 
the  Firth  of  Forth ;  but  what  he  states  so  emphati- 
eaUy  is,  that  the  Firth  of  Forth  divided  the  Regnum 
Anglorum  fi^m  the  Regnum  Pictorum.  This  ex- 
cludes the  idea  that  the  kingdom  of  the  Ficts  extended 
south  of  the  Firth,  or  that  there  was  any  independent 
kingdom  of  the  Ficte  south  of  that  estuaiy ;  but  it 
does  not  exclude  the  possibilily  of  districts  embraced 
within  the  "Begnum  Anglorum"  having  had  aFictish 
population  any  more  than  it  does  districts  having  a 
British  population,  which  we  know  existed  within 
the  limits  of  the  AngUc  kingdom.  In  the  pas- 
sages of  Bede  which  are  founded  on,  he  is  obviously 
talking  more  of  the  boundaries  and  extension  of 
kingdoms  and  governments,  than  of  die  imder 
population ;  and  &om  his  mere  aUence  in  a  work 
of  this  kind«  no  safe  argument  can  be  adduced. 
The  few  and  scattered  notices  of  the  "Campus 
"  Manann"  evidently  point  to  a  Pictish  population 
subject  to  the  Anglic  kingdom,  whose  attempts  at

resistance  weie  suppressed  by  the  Anglic  Ealdermen ; 
while  the  existence  of  a  Fictish  population  in  Gal- 
loway at  a  later  period  is  so  undoubted,  that  the 
only  question  is  how  and  when  they  came  there. 
Chalmers  maintains  that  they  were  a  settlement  of 
the  Irish  Cruithne  in  the  eighth  century,  and  he  has 
been  followed  by  subsequent  writers ;  but  there  is 
absolutely  no  authority  whatever  for  1Mb  supposed 
settlement ;  his  theory  having  obviously  been  based 
upon  pass^es  in  the  "  Irish  Annals,"  in  which  he 
mistook  the  fort  of  Maghline  in  Ulster,  which  plays 
a  great  part  in  Irish  history,  for  the  town  of 
Mauchline  in  Ayrshire,  and  applies  notices  of  the 
Irish  Cruithne  to  the  latter  which  belong  to  the 
former ;  but  the  language  of  GUdas,  when  he  says 
of  the  last  incursion  of  the  Ficts,  "  Omnem  aquil- 
"  onalem  eztremamque  terrse  partem  pro  indi- 
"  gejiis  murotenue  capessunt,"  implies  so  strongly 
that  they  settled  in  these  districts  as  permanent 
inhabitants,  that  we  can  hardly  avoid  tbe  conclu- 
sion that  the  population  of  these  two  districts  were 
the  remains  of  that  settlement. 

Bede  likewise  states  that  the  Ficts  originally 
occupied  the  district  north  of  the  Firth  of  Clyde, 
afterwards  possessed  by  the  Scots ;  and  tTrin  tradi- 
tion appears  in  the  old  description  of  Scotland  in 
the  Colbertine  MS.,  which  states  that  the  first  inha- 
bitants of  Arregaithel  were  the  Scoti  Picti,  an  obvi- 
ous rendering  into  Latin  of  the  Welsh  name  for  the 
Picts,  the  Gwyddyl  Ffichti.

The  ScotB  first  appear  in  the  year  360,  as  one  of  Tie  a 
the  barbaric  tribes  who  then  assailed  the  Roiaaii 
province  in  Britain,  and  continued  to  ravage  it  till 
they  were  finally  driven  back  by  Theodosius  in  369, 
and  the  Eoman  province  restored.  The  language  of 
Claudian  leaves  no  room  to  doubt  that  these  Scots 
came  from  Ireland,  and  again  returned  to  Ireland 
when  the  province  was  finally  filled  from  their 
ravages.  They  again  joined  the  Ficts  in  their  in- 
cursions  upon  the  Soman  province  after  Maximus, 
who  usurped  the  empire,  had  left  the  country  ;  but 
the  languE^e  of  Gildas,  who  records  these  incursions, 
is  equally  clear  that  these  Scots  likewise  came  from 
Ireland,  and  again  returned  to  Irdand.  While  he 
describes  the  Ficts  as  coming  ah  aquilone,  i.e.,  the 
r^ons  north  of  the  Roman  wall,  he  adds  that  the 
Scots  came  a  circione,  that  is  frnm  a  more  westerly 
direction ;  and  he  concludes  by  saying,  tliat  while 
tiie  Ficts  settled  down  in  the  country,  the  Scots, 
whom  he  denominates  "Hiberni  grassatores,"  re- 
toraed  home. 

The  first  permanent  settlement  of  the  Scots,  for 
which  there  is  any  real  basis  in  historic  record,  is 
the  colony  led  from  Irish  Dalriada  by  the  three  sons 
of  Ere,  Lorn,  Fei^;us,  and  Angus.  Flann  Mainis- 
treach  and  Tighemac  record  this,  and  know  of  no 
other,  nor  is  any  other  mentioned  in  any  authentic 
document.  The  allusions  to  eariier  settlements 
which  occur  in  Irish  legends  may  all  be  referred  to 
the  two  occasions  above  mentioned,  when  the  Scots 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


ex  PREFACE 

temporarily  invaded  the  country.  Flaun  Maiois- 
treach  gives  the  date  of  this  settiement  thos  : — he 
says  that  forty-three  years  had  elapsed  from  the 
coming  of  St  Patrick  to  the  battle  of  Ocha,  and  . 
twenty  years  from  that  battle  to  the  arrival  of  the 
sons  of  Ere  Id  Britain.  Taking  the  date  of  432  as 
that  of  the  coming  of  St  Patrick,  and  adding  sixty- 
three  years,  will  give  uB  the  year  495  as  the  date 
of  the  colony.  Tighemac  has  under  601  the  fol- 
lowing : — "  Feargus  mor  mac  Earca  cum  gente 
"  Dalriada  partem  BritaunisB  tenuit  et  ibi  mor- 
tuufi  est ;"  but  while  this  passage  states  the  fact 
of  a  colony,  the  date  obviously  refers  to  the  death 
of  Fergus.  Almost  all  the  chronicles  agree  that 
he  reigned  three  years,  and  this  makes  the  date 
of  the  cobny  498.  We  may  therefore  assume 
that  it  took  place  only  two  or  three  years  before 
the  conunencement  of  the  sixth  century.  Tigh- 
emac terms  the  next  three  kings,  Bigh  AU>an,  or 
kings  of  Albania.  He  has  under  506  the  death  of 
Domungart  Macnissi,  Sigh  Alhan.  Under  638  be 
has  the  death  of  Comgall,  son  of  Domangart^  Rxgh 
Alhan,  in  the  thirty-fifth  year  of  his  reign.  Under 
560  he  has  the  death  of  Gabran,  son  of  Domim- 
gart,  RighAlbcen.  Under  the  same  year,  he  has 
"Flight  of  the  AUxmich  before  Bruide,  son  of 
"  S^elcon,  kbg  of  titie  Cruithne ;"  and  after  this,  he 
changes  the  designation  of  the  king  from  that  of 
Bigh  Alban  to  Bigh  Dalriada.  It  is  obvious  that 
the  event  referred  to  as  the  flight  of  the  Albau- 
icb  before  Bruide,  son  of  Maelcon.  was  a;  defeat  of 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc

the  Scots  by  the  FictiBh  king,  who  were  then  driven 
back,  and  that  in  consequence  of  it  their  designation 
was  narrowed  from  that  of  kings  of  Alban  to  that  of 
kings  of  Dalriada.  The  Dublin  M8.  of  the  "  Annals 
"  of  Ulster  "  uses  instead  of  "  flight"  the  still  stronger 
expression  of  inmir^e,OE"ezpiil8ion;''  andtheexpla- 
oatiou  probably  is,  that  the  invading  Scots  extended 
themselves  at  first  beyond  Drumalban  into  the  dis- 
tdct  tenned  Albania,  and  were  driven  back  by  the 
Pictish  king  in  560,  and  confined  within  the  limits 
of  Dalriada  proper.  Three  years  after  tiiis  defeat,  St. 
Colomba  came  over  from  Ireland  to  Britain  to  con- 
vert the  DorUiem  Picts.  And  we  are  now  on  historic 
ground,  as  his  biographer  Adomnan  states  that  be 
speared  on  his  arrival,  "  coram  Conallo  rege,  filio 
"  ComgalL"  Bede  and  Walafred  Strabo  state  that 
the  island  of  lona  was  given  to  Columba  by  the 
Ficts  ;  on  the  other  hand,  Tighemac  states  that  it 
was  given  to  him  by  Conall,  king  of  Dahiada ;  but 
if  lona  and  the  neighbouring  islands  formed  a  part 
of  the  territory  which  had  been  at  first  overrun  by 
Scots,  and  from  which  they  had  been  afterwards 
expelled  by  the  Ficts,  it  is  intelligible  enoiigh  that 
the  British  historians  should  have  recorded  the  grant 
as  having  been  made  by  the  Ficts,  and  that  the 
Irish  annalists  should  have  equally  confidently 
asserted  that  it  had  been  made  by  the  king  of 
Dalriada.  On  the  death  of  Conall,  Columba  solemnly 
inaugurated  Aedan,  the  son  of  Oabran,  king  of  Dal- 
riada ;  and  at  the  council  of  Drumcest,  held  in 
Ireland  in  the  same  year,  he  obtained  that  the  kings 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


of  Dalriada  and  Scotland  should  no  longer  be  subject 
to  Uie  kings  of  Irish  Dalriada,  as  the  mother  state, 
but  should  in  future  be  independent  monaichs. 
It  is  dear  ikai  after  the  defeat  of  560,  a  part  of  the 
Scots  remained  in  Britain,  but  it  is  probable  that  a 
part  also  returned  to  Ireland,  and  that  Aedan  brought 
a  fresh  colonyoTer.as  the  old  Irish  lives  of  St  Patrick 
refer  to  him  as  the  first  who  established  a  monarchy 
in  Britain,  and  the  "Prophecy  of  St.  Berchan" 
takes  the  same  view.  Aedan  reigned  thirty-aeven 
years,  and  appears  to  have  thoroughly  established,  the 
kingdom  of  Dalriada.  He  is  recorded  aa  having 
fought  four  battles, — the  battle  of  Manann  in  582 
or  583  ;  that  of  Leit^g  in  590  ;  that  of  Circhind 
in  59 6  ;  and  finally,  the  battle  with  EtheUred,  king 
of  Bemicia,  in  600,  whidi  is  obviously  the  same 
battle  as  that  recorded  by  Bede  in  the  year  603,  in 
which  Aedan  appears  to  have  led  an  army  of  Britons 
and  Scots  into  Horthumbria.  He  died  in  the  year 
606.  We  have  the  authority  of  Adomnan  for  the 
fact  that  he  was  succeeded  by  his  son  Eochodiua  or 
Eocha  Buidhe,  and  he  by  his  sons.  These  were 
Conadh  Cerr,  who  reigned  but  three  months  after 
him,  and  Donald  Brec,  who  was  king  of  Dalriada 
at  the  time  that  Oswald  ruled  over  Korthumbria.'

The  territories  which  constitated  the  petty  king- 
dom of  Dalriada  can  be  pretty  well  defined.  They 
were  bounded  on  the  south  by  the  Firth  of  Clyde. 
and  they  were  separated  on  the  east  from  the  Fictish 
kingdom  by  the  ridge  of  the  great  mountain  chain 
called  Drumalban.  They  consisted  of  four  tribes, — 
the  genus  or  Cinel  Lorn,  descended  from  Lorn,  the 
elder  of  the  three  brothers ;  t^e  Cinel  Grabran  and 
Cinel  Comgall,  descended  &om  two  sons  of  Doman- 
gart;,  son  of  Fergus,  the  second  of  the  brothers ;  and 
the  Cinel  Angus,  descended  &om  the  third  brother, 
Angus.  The  Cinel  Comgall  inhabited  the  district 
formerly  called  Comgall,  now  corrupted  to  CowaJL 
The  Cinel  Gabran  inhabited  what  was  called  the 
Ai^;iallas,  or  the  district  of  Aigyle  proper,  and 
Eintyre.  The  Cinel  Angus  inhabited  the  islands 
of  Islay  and  Jura,  and  the  Cinel  Lorn,  the  district 
of  Lorn.  Beyond  this,  on  the  north,  l^e  districts 
between  Lorn  and  the  promontory  of  Ardnamurchan, 
Le.,  the  island  of  Mull,  the  district  of  Morven,  Ard- 
gower,  and  probably  part  of  Lochaber,  seem  to 
have  formed  a  sort  of  debateable  gronnd,  the  popu- 
lation of  which  was  Pictish,  while  the  Scots  had 
settlements  among  them.  In  the  centre  of  the 
possessions  of  the  Cind  Gabran,  at  the  head  of  the 
well-sheltered  loch  of  Ctinan,  Ues  the  great  Moas 
of  Crinan,  with  the  river  Add  flowing  through  it. 
In  the  centre  of  the  moss,  and  on  the  side  of  the 
river,  rises  an  isolated  rocky  hill  called  Dunadd,  the 
top  of  which  is  strongly  fortified.    This  was  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


capital  of  DaMada,  and  many  a  stone  obelisk  in  the 
moss  around  it  bears  silent  testimony  to  the  con- 
tests of  which  it  was  the  centre.  The  picturesque 
position  of  DunoUy  Castle,  on  a  rock  at  the  entrance 
of  the  equally  sheltered  bay  of  Oban,  afforded,  another 
fcHldfied  summit,  which  was  the  chief  stronghold  of 
the  tribe  of  Lorn.  Of  Dunataffiiage,  as  a  royal 
seat,  history  knows  nothing.

EBLiTmsKwi-  Such,  then,  were  the  four  kingdoms  which,  in 
I  the  year  634,  when  Oswald  ascended  the  throne 
.  of  Norl^ambria,  are  found  within  the  limits  of  the 
territory  of  the  subsequent  kingdom  of  Scotland. 
The  kingdom  of  Bemicia,  with  its  Anglic  popu- 
lation, and  its  chief  seat  Bamboroogh,  extending 
from  the  Tyne  to  the  Firth  of  Forth ;  the  kingdom 
of  Cumbria,  with  its  British  population,  extending 
from  the  Firth  of  Clyde  far  into  Westmoreland,  and 
on  the  banks  of  the  Firth  of  Clyde,  the  striking  rock 
of  Dumbarton,  with  the  fort  of  Alclyde  on  the 
summit,  its  chief  seat.  North  of  die  Fixtid^f  Forth, 
the  great  monarchy  of  the  Picts,  extending  over  tiie 
whole  of  the  northern  and  eastern  districts  of  Scot- 
land, and  embracing  witjiin  its  compass  all  the  east 
flowing  waters  from  their  sources,  with  its  capital 
near  the  town  of  Inverness ;  and  on  the  west  the 
small  Scottish  kingdom  of  Dalriada,  corresponding, 
with  the  exception  probably  of  Ardnamurchan,  very 
nearly  to  the  modem  county  of  Argyle,  with  the

&om  its  situation  in  the  centre  of  the  moss  of 
Crinan,  Dunmotiaidh,  or  the  fort  of  the  moss. 
And  in  the  centre  of  Scotland  these  four  kingdoms 
met  in  a  8ort  of  neutral  ground  or  debateable  land, 
extending  irom  the  river  Forth  to  the  river 
Almond,  and  comprising  the  modem  counties  of 
Stirling  and  Linlithgow,  which  was  occupied  by  a 
mixed  popolatiou  of  Picts,  Angles,  and  Briton^ 
and  iato  which  the  kings  of  the  Scots  frequently 
carried  their  arms.  In  it  lay  the  small  districts  of 
Calatria  and  M^nftTt"  ;  and  within  its  limits,  the 
difierent  races  generally  encountered  each  other  in 
the  struggle  for  the  mastery,  and  most  of  the 
battles  were  fought  In  these  contests  the  Scots 
and  the  Britons  usually  combined,  on  the  one 
hand,  and  the  Angles  and  Ficts  on  the  oilier, — ^the 
nations  of  the  west  against  the  nations  of  the  east

Caeredin,  was  besieged,  and  here,  two  years  after

years,  was  slain  by  Penda,  king  of  the  MerciaOB,  at

642,  a  battle  was  fought  in  Strathcairon,  between 
the  Britona  and  Donald  Brec,  king  of  the  Scots  of 
Dalriada,  in  which  the  latter  was  slain,  in  the  year 
642,  according  to  Tighernac,  which  corresponds  to 
the  year  644  of  Bede ;  and  in  the  same  year  a 
battle  was  fought  between  Oswy,  king  of  Bemicia, 
and  the  Britona. 

Ten  years  afterwards,  Penda,  the  Pagan  king  of 
Mercia,  invaded  Bemicia.  He  is  described  by 
Bede,  in  one  passage,  as  coming  to  Bamborough 
with  a  hostile  army,  destroying  all  he  could  with 
fire  and  aword,  and  burning  down  the  town  aud 
the  church ;  and  after  a  vain  attempt  to  bay  him  off 
with  gifts,  Oswy  encountered  him  at  a  place  near 
the  river,  called  by  Bede,  Uinuaed,  where  he  was 
entirely  defeated,  and,  of  thirty  royal  commanders 
who  were  with  him,  almost  the  whole  were  slain. 
Bede  adds  that  Oswy  brought  this  war  to  a  conclu- 
sion in  "  Begione  Loidis,"  in  the  thirteenth  year  of 
hia  reign,  on  the  llih  of  the  Kalends  of  December, 
thatia,  on  the  15th  of  November,  655.  Tighernac 
mentions  the  same  battle  under  two  different  years, 
650  and  656.  The  identity  of  the  events  is 
shown  by  the  mention  of  thirty  kings  on  each 
occasion.  It  has  generally  been  assumed  that 
Fenda  was  killed  in  the  battle  of  Uinuaed,  and 
that  it  must  therefore  have  been  fought  within  the 
"  Regio  Loidis."  Bede  uses  this  latter  expression, 
undoubtedly,  for  the  diatrict  around  the  town  of 
Leeds ;  but  it  is  admitted  that  no  trace  can  be 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


found  of  the  oame  of  Uinuaed  having  been  applied 
to  a  river  in  that  district  Bede,  however,  does  not 
say  that  the  battle  of  Uinwaed  was  fought  there. 
He  first  describes  the  battle,  and  then  adds  after- 
wards  that  the  war  was  brought  to  a  conclusion  by 
the  slaughter  of  Penda  within  that  district.  In  the 
additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum,"  this  battle 
is  termed  the  "  Strages  Grai  Campi "  and  the  thirty 
kings  axe  s^d  to  have  been  kings  of  the  Britons, 
who  had  gone  out  with  King  Penda  in  an  expedi- 
tion as  far  as  tibe  city  which  is  called  Judiu,  and 
this  cily  appears  from  the  same  passage  to  have 
been  either  within  or  in  the  neighbourhood  of 
Manau  or  Manaun.  The  battle,  therefore,  proba- 
bly took  place  in  the  extreme  north  of  the  territo- 
ries of  Bemida,  and  Penda  appears  to  have  fled 
after  his  defeat  into  Deira,  where  he  was  slain  near 
the  town  of  Leeds.^  By  this  defeat  the  Britons  of 
Strathclyde  appear  to  have  fallen  into  the  power  of 
Oswy,  and  the  Scots  of  Dakiada  seem  to  have  shared 
the  same  fate. 

Three  years  afterwards  Oswy  is  said  by  Bede  to 
have  subjected  "  Gentem  Pictorum,  mazima  ex

"  parte  regiio  Anglonim."  This  fells  under  the 
year  658. 
Snbj«etioii  of  Otswj  had  now  completed  tihe  subjugation  of 
byony.  the  BiitoDS  of  Strathclyde,  the  Scota  of  Dalriada, 
and  a  considerable  part  of  the  Picts ;  and  the 
mutual  relations  of  these  four  nations  to  each 
other  were  so  far  altered  that  the  Angles  had,  tem- 
porarily at  least,  established  their  supremacy  over 
t^e  other  three.  Tighemac  records,  in  667,  the 
death  of  Tolargan,  son  of  Ainfred,  king  of  the 
Cruithne ;  and  the  "Annals  of  Ulster"  record,  in  668, 
the  death  of  Oureit,  or  Guriad,  king  of  Aldyde. 
The  Irish  annalists  do  not  record  any  king  of  Dal- 
riada after  the  death  of  Donald  Brec  in  642. 
Tolargan,  the  king  of  the  Picts,  was  no  doubt  the 
son  of  that  Ain&ed,  son  of  Ethelfired,  king  of  Ber- 
nieia,  who  had  remained  in  exile  among  the  Picta 
during  the  reign  of  Edwin,  and  succeeded  him  in 
Bemicia  as  king  for  one  year.  Tolaigan  must  have 
obtained  the  Pictish  throne  titrough  his  mother, 
according  to  the  Pictish  law  of  succession ;  but 
Oswy  thus  stood  to  him  ia  the  relation  of  father's 
brother,  and  may  have  made  this  the  pretext  for 
invading  ihe  kingdom  of  the  Picts.  Oswy  main- 
tained possession  of  the  PictiBh  territory  he  had 
conquered  during  his  life,  as  Bede  records  that,  in 
669,  Wilfrid  not  only  presided  over  the  church 
of  York  and  of  all  Northumbria,  "  aed  et  Picto- 
"  rum,  quousque  rex  Osuiu  imperium  protendere 
"  poterat "  (Lib.  iv.  c.  iii)     Oswy  died,  according 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


to  Bede,  in  the  year  670,.  and  was  succeeded  by  his 
scoi  Ecgfrid  ;  and  in  681,  when  he  divided  the 
diocese  of  York  into  four  portions,  he  appointed 
Tramwin  "ad  provinciam  Pictomm,  quae  tunc 
"temporia  Anglorum  erat  imperio  subjecta"  (Lib. 
IV.  e.  xiL)  The  province  of  the  Picts  thus  remained 
still  subject  to  the  Angles,  but  some  attempts  seem 
now  to  have  been  made  to  throw  off  the  yoke  ;  for, 
in  681,  the  "  Annals  of  Ulster"  record  the  siege  of 
Dunfother,  and  in  683,  the  siege  of  Dunnat  and 
Dundoim.  Donfother  and  Dunduim  were  the  chief 
seats  of  two  of  the  seven  provinces  of  the  Picts,  and 
Dunnat  was  the  capital  of  Dalriada.  In  685,  Bede 
records  that  Ecg£rid  led  an  army  "  ad  vaatandum 
"  Pictorum  provinciam "  (Lib.  iv.  c  ixvi.),  and 
that  having  been  led  by  a  feigned  flight  of  his 
enemies  in  "  angustias  inaccessorum  montium," 
he  was  there  cut  off  with  his  whole  army  on 
the  15th  day  before  the  Kalends  of  June.  Tigh- 
emac  records  the  same  battle  as  having  taken  place 
on  Saturday  the  20th  day  of  May,  which  was 
the  15th  before  the  Kalends  of  June,  in  the  year 
686,  at  a  place  called  Dunnechtan,  between  Ecgfrid 
Mac  Oseu,  rex  Saxonum,  and  Brude  Mac  Bile,  rex 
Fortrenn ;  but  the  20th  day  of  May  fell  on  a  Satur- 
day in  the  previous  year,  685,  which  confirms  the 
date  of  Bede.  Dunnechtan  is  the  modem  Dunni- 
cbeo,  which  ia  situated  in  a  narrow  pass  in  the 
range  of  the  Sidlaw  hiUs,  which  separate  Strath- 
more  from  the  plains  of  Forfarshire.      It  is  obvi- 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc

oiiB,  from  the  language  of  Bede,  that  the  "  Provincia 
"  Pictonun "  which  Ecgfrid  devastated,  waa  the 
same  provmce  which  was  subject  to  tite  Angles,  and 
which  must  have  extended  at  least  as  far  as  the  Sid- 
law  mountains.  Brude,  who  defeated  him,  is  called 
king  of  Fortreu,  which  was  one  of  the  seven  provinces 
of  the  Picta,  and  lay  to  the  west  of  the  river  Tay, 
Dundum  was  its  chief  seat,  as  Dunfother  was  the 
chief  seat  of  Maghcirdn,  or  the  Meania,  and  these 
parts  of  Pictland  probably  remained  independent,  ■ 
while  the  part  sabject  to  the  Angles  lay  between 
them,  and  consisted  apparently  of  Fife,  Kinross,  Gow- 
rie,  and  part  of  Forfarshire ;  in  short,  very  nearly  the 
same  district  which  forms  the  second  province  in 
the  second  list  of  seven  provinces  contained  in  the 
"  Description,"  No.  xvii.  The  effect  of  this  defeat 
upon  the  four  nations  is  thus  described  by  Bede : 
Tmniiutioii  of  "  Ez  quo  tempoTC  spes  coepit  et  virtus  regni  Anglo- 
*■*  *■  "  rum  fluere  et  retro  sublapsa  referri.  Nam  et  Picti 
"  terram  possessionis  suae  quam  tenuerunt  Angli 
"  et  Scoti  qui  erant  in  Britannia,  Britonum  quoque 
"  pars  nonnulla,  hb^tatem  receperunt,  quam  et  hae- 
"  tenus  habent  per  annos  circiter  quadraginta  et 
"  sex ;"  and  he  adds,  that  Trumwin  retired  with 
his  clergy,  "  qui  erant  in  monasterio  Aebbercumi^ 
"  posito  quidam  in  regione  Anglorum,  sed  in  vicinia 
"  freti  quod  Anglorum  terras  Pictorumque  deter- 
"  miuat"  (Lib.  rv.  c.  xxvi),  which  shows  still  more 
clearly  that  the  lands  of  the  Picts  subject  to  the 
Angles  lay  north  of  the  Firth  of  Forth.    The  Irish 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PEEFACE.  cxxi 

annalisfs  now  record  Brud^  son  of  Bile,  as  king  of 
tiie  Picts.  He  is  said  in  the  Irish  "  Life  of  St.  Adom- 
"  nan"  (Ap.  Na  iv.)  to  have  been  the  aon  of  the  king 
of  Alclyde,  so  that  his  right  to  the  Pictiah  throne 
mast  have  been  through  his  mother  ;  and  Bile  ap 
peats  in  the  line  of  the  British  kings  of  Stiathclyde 
in  the  Welsh  additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum." 
He  is  also  said  in  an  old  poem,  quoted  in  the  "Annals 
"  of  MacFirbis,"  (Ap.  No.  iii.)  to  have  recovered 
the  kingdom  of  his  grandfather  ;  and  in  the  Saxon 
additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum,"  he  and  Ecg- 
frid  are  said  to  have  been  "fratraeles,"  that  is, 
deacended  from  brothers.  His  mother  must  there- 
fore have  been  the  daughter  of  Tolargan,  son  of 
Ainfired  who  was  the  brother  of  Oswy,  the  father 
of  Ecgfrid.  The  death  of  Brude  Mac  Bile  n  Fiyr- 
tren  is  recorded  in  the  "  Irish  Annals,"  iu  the  year 
693,  and  aU  the  liste  agree  in  his  three  successors  : 
Taran,  son  of  Entefidich,  expelled  in  997 ;  Brude, 
son  of  Derile,  whose  death  is  recorded  in  706  ;  and 
Nectan^  Ins  brother,  whose  "Clericatus"  is  men- 
tioned by  the  "  Irish  Annals  "  in  724.  Ferchar  &da, 
or  the  tall,  now  appears  as  king  of  Dalriada.  Prior 
to  the  conquest  of  Oswy,  the  kings  of  Dalriada  were 
excIasiTely  of  the  race  of  Fergus  ;  but  Ferchar  &da 
was  the  head  of  the  rival  race  of  Loin,  who  appear 
to  have  taken  the  lead  in  recovering  the  indepen- 
dence of  the  Scots.  His  death  is  given  by  the 
"Irish  Annals"  in  697.  The  Latin  lists  agree  in 
making  his  successor,  Eocha  rinamuU,  grandson  of

be  found  in  the  genealogy  of  the  Strathclyde  kings, 
and,  in  722,  the  "  Irish  Annala"  record  the  death  of

The  first  four  kings  correspond  in  both.  They 
reigned  in  the  period  from  the  termination  of  the 
Anglic  sabjection  of  the  Picta  and  Scots  to  the  cloae 
of  Bede'a  history.  The  main  differences  after  tliat 
are,  that  the  "Pictish  Chronicle"  gives  the  joint 
reign  of  Drest  and  Alpin  for  five  years,  and  then 
the  reign  of  Angus,  son  of  Fergus,  for  thirty  years ; 
while  the  other  lists  giv^  during  this  period,  Gat- 
nad,  son  of  Ferat,  twenty-four  years,  followed  by 
Angus,  son  of  Fergus,  only  sixteen  years ;  again, 
the  "  Pictish  Chronicle  "  gives  Kenneth,  the  son  of 
Uradech,  twelve  years,  followed  by  Alpin,  son  of 
Uroid,  three  and  a  half  years ;  while  the  other  lists 
make  Alpin,  son  of  Ferat,  reign  thirty  or  thiriy- 
six  years,  embracing  the  whole  period  of  Kenneth's 
reign.  Again,  the  Latin  lists  insert  a  family,  con- 
sisting of  Angus,  son  of  Brude,  and  Brude  and  Alpin, 
sons  of  Angus,  who  are  tmknown  to  the  "Pictish 
"  Chronicle ;"  and,  finally,  they  add  three  kings 
at  the  end  of  the  list  in  addition  to  tiiose  in  the 
"  Pictish  Chronicle." 

The  "  Pictish  Chronicle"  is  entirely  supported  in 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PREFACE.  cxxv 

its  statements  by  the  Imb  annalists.  They  know 
nothing  of  Gamad,  the  son  of  Ferat ;  but,  accord- 
ing to  them,  Angus,  the  son  of  Fergus,  made  his 
way  to  the  Fictisfa  throne  by  defeating  Uie  three 
previous  kings, — Dreat,  Alpin,  and  Nectan.  They 
record,  in  724,  the  Clericatus  of  Nectan,  king  of 
the  Picts,  and  that  Dnist  succeeded  him.  Then, 
in  726,  that  Drust  was  driven  out^  and  that  Alpin 
succeeded  him.  Then  two  battles  between  Alpin 
and  Angus,  the  son  of  Fergus,  at  Moncrief  and 
at  Caiden  Credi,  or  Scone,  in  which  Alpin  was  de- 
feated, and  Angus  took  his  territories,  while  Nec- 
tan, the  son  of  Derile,  resumed  the  kingdom. 
Then,  iu  729,  the  battle  of  Monitcarno,  be- 
tween Angus  and  Nechtan,  in  which  the  latter  was 
defeated,  and  the  battle  of  Drumdear^  between 
Angus  and  Dmst,  king  of  the  Picts,  in  which  the 
latter  was  slain.  Again,  in  775,  the  "Irish  Annals" 
record  the  death  of  Ciaadon,  regis  Pictorum. 

On  examining  the  differences  between  these  two 
lists,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Latin  list  mainly  ioaerts 
kings  not  to  be  found  in  the  other,  and  that  these 
generally  belong  to  the  same  family.  Thus,  Gamad 
is  the  son  of  Ferat ;  Alpin,  who  reigns  so  much 
loDger  in  the  one  list  than  in  the  other,  is  also  the 
eon  of  Ferat,  and  two  of  the  three  kings  added  at 
the  end  of  the  list  are  likewise  sons  of  Ferat.  It 
is  clear,  even  from  the  "  Pictish  Cljronicle,"  that 
more  than  one  king  reigned  at  the  same  time  in 
different  parts  of  the  country,  and  it  is  probable

cxxvi  PKEFACE. 

that  these  additional  kings  are  local  kings,  recorded 
by  the  one  chronicler  and  not  by  the  other.  The 
"  Pictiflh  Chronicle "  is,  in  fact,  the  "  Chronicle  of 
"  Brechin,"  and  probably  records  the  kings  of  that 
part  of  the  country  ;  on  the  other  hand,  the  kings  of 
the  house  of  Ferat  seem  peculiarly  connected  with 
the  district  of  Growrie.  Alpin  is  defeated  at  Mon- 
crie^  and  afterwards  at  Scon&  Ferat,  the  son  of 
Bai^t,  had  his  seat  at  Migdde,  or  Meigle ;  and 
Druskin,  the  son  of  Ferat,  was  defeated,  according 
to  some,  at  Forteviot,  according  to  others  at  Scone. 
It  is  probable  that  while  the  "Pictish  Chronicle" 
records  the  kings  who  reigned  over  that  part  of  the 
Pictish  territories  in  which  Brechin  was  situated, 
the  later  lists  include  those  who  reigned  at  Scone, 
whetlier  they  were  kings  of  the  whole  of  PicUa&d, 
or  of  th.e  district  around  Scone  only.^ 

The  variation  between  the  list  of  the  Scottish 
kings  of  Dalriada  subsequent  to  the  close  of  Bede's 
narrative  is  of  much  more  importance,  and  enters 
far  more  deeply  into  the  very  foundation  of  Scottish 


'  The  "  Irish  AnnaU"  record  in 
780  the  death  of  "Elpin  r«x 
"  Saionnm,"  which  corresponda 
with  the  end  of  the  reign  of  Alpin, 
•on  of  Droid  or  Femt,  and  the 
district  in  which  Scone  and  Meigle 
are  aitnated  appears  to  have 
foTTned  part  of  Oewy'i  conquest, 
so  that  this  family  may  have  been 
mainly  mpported  by  the  Soxoni. 
If  be  reigned  thirty  years  in  this 
district,  it  brings  lu  to  750,  in 
which  the    "Anuals"    record    a 


great  battle  between  the  Piota  and 
Uie  BritoDS,  in  which  the  Ptcts 
were  defeated,  and  the  brother  of 
Angus,  son  of  Fergus,  alaio.  His 
reign  of  sixteen  yean,  allowing  a 
year  for  the  short  reigns  there 
given,  brings  ns  to  73%  the  year 
after  the  death  of  Nectan,  mm  of 
Derile,  in  732,  and  Oamad,  son  of 
Ferat,  most  have  rdgned  in  this 
district  dnriog  the  reigns  of  Neo- 
tan  and  Dnist,  that  is,  from  706 
to  729.

diverge  so  radically  &om  each  other,  consist,  on  the 
one  hand,  of  the  lists  contained  in  the  "  Synchron-

The  blank  which  occurs  in  the  Latin  lists  from 
Donald  brec  to  Ferchar  fada  exactly  corresponds 
with  the  period  of  the  Anglic  dominion  overDalriada, 
when  there  was  no  independent  king,  and  may  be 
thrown  out  of  view  as  amounting  to  any  substantial 
disagreement.^  The  fjiree  following  kings  agree  in 
both  lists. 

After  that  the  difference  between  them  is  very  re-

mai^ble,  and  is  obviously  artLBciaL  There  are  edx 
kings  wHeh  agree  in  both,  Edfin,  Fergus,  Selvach, 
Ecbadb,  Dungal,  and  Alpin.  In  the  one  list  the 
last  four,  ie.,  Selvach,  Echadh,  Dungal,  and  Alpin 
aie  placed  first  Then,  after  a  KiTig  Muredach,  Aed 
and  Fergus  are  placed,  and  then  follow  eight  kings 
which  are  not  in  the  other  list  at  alL  In  the 
liStin  lists  the  four  kings,  Selvach,  Echadh,  Ihmgal, 
and  Alpin,  are  placed  last.  Before  them  are 
placed  Aedfin  and  Fei^us,  and  before  tihem  are 
placed  three  kings  who  are  not  in  the  first  list 
Now  the  remarkable  thing  is  this,  that  the  deaths  of 
Aedfin  Mac  Echach  Ei  Dalriada  and  Fergus  Mac 
Echach  Ri  Dalriada  are  given  in  the  "  Irish  Annals" 
as  occmring  in  778  and  781  respectively,  and  this 
agrees  with  their  date  in  both  lists  ;  the  amount  of 
the  teigns  after  them  in  the  one  list  amounting  to 
sizty-five  years,  and  in  the  other  to  sixty-four.  The 
real  difierence  between  the  two  lists  con^ts  in 
this,  that  the  four  kings,  Selvach,  Echadh,  Dungal, 
and  Alpin,  commence  the  list  in  the  one  and  termin- 
ate it  in  the  other.  They  reigned,  according  to  the 
one,  in  the  eighth,  and,  according  to  the  othrar,  in 
the  ninth  c^turies,  and  there  is  a  difference  of  a 
century  between  the  period  of  each.  This  is  obvi- 
ously a  difference  arising  from  an  intentional  altera- 
tion in  one  or  other  of  the  lists  for  chronological 
purposes,  and  it  is  of  course  of  importance  to  ascer- 
tain which  represents  the  true  history.  In  the  first 
place,  t^e  lists  which  place  those  four  kings  in  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


cixx  PEEFACR 

earlier  century  belong  to  the  eleventh  century, 
while  the  oldest  of  the  Latin  lists  which  place 
them  in  the  ninth  century,  was  compiled  in  the 
year  1165,  a  century  later ;  and  the  oldest  of  the 
eleventh  century  lists,  t.e.,  that  by  Flann  Mainis- 
treach,  synchronizes  these  kings  of  Dalriada  with 
the  monarchs  of  Ireland,  so  as  to  leave  no  doubt 
as  to  the  period  to  which  he  refers  them.  In  the 
second  place,  the  Irish  annalists  entirely  support  the 
older  lists.  The  question  is  whether  these  four 
kings  reigned  in  t^e  first  half  of  the  eighth  c^tuiy, 
or  in  the  first  half  of  the  ninth  century  ;  but  the 
"Irish  Annals"  mention  in  the  year  719  the  battle 
of  Finglinne  between  the  two  sons  of  Ferchar  fada 
(Ainbhceallach  and  Selvach)  in  which  Ainbhceallach 
was  slain,  and  the  sea  battle  of  Aideanesbie,  be- 
tween the  genus  Gabhran  under  Duncan  Bee,  and 
the  genus  Lorn  under  Selvach ;  and  in  723  the 
clericatus  of  Selvach  regis  Dalriada,  They  mention 
Dungal  as  being  expelled  from  his  kingdom  in 
726,  and  Echadb,  son  of  Echadh,  be^nning  his  reign 
in  that  year.  In  72?  they  mention  a  confiict  at 
Rossfeochan  between  Selvach  and  the  "familia 
"  Echdach  nepotis  Domnall,"  that  is,  the  family  of 
which  Eocha,  a  son  of  Echach,  the  grandson  of 
Donald  brec,  was  the  head.  They  have  the  death 
of  Echadh,  son  of  Echadh,  king  of  Dalriada  in  733, 
and  mention  an  expedition  by  Dungal,  the  son  of 
Selvach;  and  in  736  they  agfdn  mention  Dungal,  son 
of  Selvach,  as  having  been  taken  and  bound  by  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


king  of  the  Fict&  Alpin  is  not  mentioned  in  the 
"  Irish  Annals,"  but  they  clearly  show  that  the  first 
three  of  the  four  kings  in  question  reigned  in  the 
early  part  of  the  eighth  century,  and  not  in  that  of 
the  ninth  centuiy.  Further,  they  likewise  show  that, 
at  a  period  coincident  with  the  last  of  these  four 
kings,  Dalriada  was  conquered  by  the  king  of  the 
Ficts ;  and  that  the  kings  who  are  mentioned  in  the 
older  lists  as  succeeding  Alpin  must  have  been  of 
the  Pictish  race.  In  734,  Talorgan,  son  of  Drostan^ 
king  of  Athde,  is  taken  and  bound  near  DunoUy, 
and  Dungal,  the  king  of  Dalriada,  flies  to  Ireland 
from  the  power  of  Angus ;  and,  in  736,  Angus, 
son  of  Fergus,  king  of  the  Picts,  lays  waste  the 
r^ions  of  Dalriada,  obtains  Dunad,  bums  Creidi, 
and  puts  the  two  sons  of  Selvach,  Dungal  and 
Fraadacb,  in  chiuns.  Dunad  was  the  capital  of  Dal- 
riada, and  Creich  is  in  the  Ross  of  Mull,  opposite 
the  Sound  of  lona.  In  741,  coincident  with  the 
last  year  of  Alpin,  we  have  the  following  signifi- 
cant entry  :  "  Pereuasio  Dalriatad  la  Oengus  Mac 
"  Feiguso  ; "  thus  showing  the  complete  conquest 
and  subjection  of  Dalriada  by  the  king  of  the  Picts 
at  the  Teiy  time  when  this  variance  between  the 
lists  commences.  The  connexion  of  the  subsequent 
kings  of  Dalriada  in  the  older  lists  with  Fortren  is 
equally  apparent.  Thus,  in  768,  there  is  a  battle 
in  Fortren  between  Aedh  and  Kenneth,  at  the  same 
period  when  Aedh  appears  as  king  of  Dalriada ;  and 
the  older  list  of  the  Dalriadic  kings  shows  Con- 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


stantiii,  son  of  Fergns,  succeeded  by  an  Angus, 
son  of  Fei^UB,  at  the  same  time  when  the  "Irish 
"  AhhmIb "  record  a  Constantin,  son  of  Fei^ua,  king 
of  Fortren,  succeeded  by  an  Angus,  son  of  Fergus, 
Mng  of  Fortren  ;  and,  finally,  the  two  last  Dalriadic 
kings  are  Aedh  son  of  Boanta,  and  Fuganan  son  of 
Angus ;  while,  in  839,  the  "  Irish  Annals"  record  a 
"  battle  by  the  Gentiles  against  the  men  of  Fortren, 
"  in  which  Euganan  son  of  Angus,  and  Bran  son  of 
f'  Angoa,  and  Aedh  son  of  Boanta,  and  innumerable 
"  others  falL"  These  notices  clearly  identify  the  kings 
who  foUowed  Alpin  in  the  older  lists  with  the  kings 
of  Fortren  and  with  the  men  of  Fortren,  who  were 
undoubtedly  Ficts.  The  matter,  therefore,  stands 
thus,  that  by  both  lists  the  Scottish  ktngs  of  Dal- 
riada  terminate  with  Alpin ;  but  in  the  Latin  lists 
Alpin  is  brought  down  to  the  year  841,  and  identified 
with  Alpin  the  father  of  Kenneth ;  while  by  the  older 
lists  Alpin  reigned  from  736  to  741,  and  is  followed 
by  a  list  of  eleven  kings  ;  and  the  "  Irish  Annals" 
show  that  in  741  Dalriada  had  been  completely 
conquered  by  the  king  of  the  Ficts,  and  that  the 
eleven- kings  who  intervened  between  that  Alpin 
and  Kenueth  Mac  Alpin  were  of  the  Fictish  race. 

That  the  lists  of  kings  of  Dalriada  given  by  the 
"  Synchronisms  of  Flann  Mainistreach,"  and  tiie 
"  Albanic  Duan,"  agreeing  so  entirely  with  each  other, 
supported  as  they  are  by  the  "  Irish  Annals,"  and  in 
direct  antagonism  to  the  later  forms  of  the  Scottish 
fable,  present    the  true    history,  can   hardly  be 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


doabted ;  and  the  r^ult  of  the  comparison  of  the 
two  lists  is,  that  the  compilers  of  the  Latin  lists 
sappressed  the  conquest  of  Dalriada  by  the  Angles, 
by  extending  the  reigns  of  the  early  kings  till  Donald 
biec  is  made  the  immediate  predecessor  of  Ferchar 
fada,  and  that  they,  in  like  manner,  suppressed  the 
conquest  of  Dalriada  by  the  Picts,  and  the  century 
of  Fictdsh  rule  in  that  kingdom,  by  placing  the 
reigns  of  the  last  four  Scottish  kings  a  century  later, 
and  interpolating  kings  before  them  to  fill  up  the 
vacant  period.

Pictish  kings,  and  likewise  in  those  of  the  kings  oHBomoLu

there  is  little  variation  in  the  accounts  given  by  the 
different  chronicles  of  his  successors.    By  all  he  is 
made  a  Scot,  and  is  usually  termed  "Primus  Scot- 
"  tonun,"  and  "  Primus  rex  Scottorum."    By  Mann 
Mainiatreach  he  is  said  to  have  given  the  kingdom 
of  Scone  to  the  Gael ;  and  by  St.  Berchan  he  is 
called  Perbaaach,  the  besieger,  and  the  first  king 
of  the  men  of  Erin  ;  he  destroys  the  Cruithneach  at 
Scone,  and  dies  on  the  banks  of  the  Earn.    The 
"Pictish  Chronicle"  places  his  death  at  his  palace 
of  Forteviot,  and  iiie  "  Irish  Annals"  record  it  in  the

year  858.  He  is  sacceeded  by  his  brother  Donald 
Mac  Alpin,  who  reigned,  according  to  all  the  lists, 
four  yeais.  According  to  the  "  Fictiah  Chronicle," 
he  died  at  his  palace  of  Qnn  Belachoir,  according 
to  the  "  Cronicon  Elegiacum,"  at  Scone,  and  to  the 
Latin  lists,  at  BathiuTeramon.  The  two  latter  are 
separated  from  each  other  hy  the  Tay.  St.  Berchan 
terms  Imn  the  eon  of  the  Gaillsigh,  gives  him  a  reign 
of  three  years  and  three  months,  and  places  his 
death  at  Lock  Adhbha,  or  the  loch  of  the  palace. 
His  death  is  recorded  by  the  "  Irish  ATmala  "  in 
862.  He  was  succeeded  by  Conatantine,  the  son 
of  Kenneth,  and  he  by  Aedh,  his  brother.  By  the 
"Ketish  Chronicle,"  Constantine  is  said  to  have 
reigned  sixte^i  years ;  in  his  second  and  third 
years,  Amlaib,*  with  his  Gentiles,  laid  waste  PictaviB^ 
and  is  slain  by  him  ;  la  his  fourteenth  year,  a  battle 
is  fooght  between  tiie  Danes  and  the  Scots  at  Dollar, 
and  a  short  time  after,  the  Scots  are  dain  at  Ach- 
cochlum.  His  successor  Aed  reigned  one  year,  and 
is  slain  at  Nrurin.  The  "  Irish  Annals  "  record  the 
invasion  of  Amloiph  in  866 ;  the  slaughter  of  Artga, 
king  of  the  Strathclyde  Britons,  by  the  advice  of 
Constantine,  in  872 ;  a  conflict  between  the  Dugalls 
and  the  Picts  in  87&  ;  and  the  death  of  Constantine 
in  876,  and  that  of  Aedh  by  his  own  people  in  878.

slain  in  battle  by  the  Norwegians  in  Werdofatha  or 
Inverdiifatha,  and  Aed  in  Strathallan.  St.  Berchan 
givee  the  Bacceasoi  of  Donald,  without  naming  him,  a 
leign  of  only  five  and  a  half  yeais ;  bat  the  identity 
is  clear,  for  he  aays  he  fought  three  battles  against  the 
Gentiles,  and  a  foorth  battle  at  Luaire,  probably  Car- 
lowrie,  against  the  Britons,  and  that  he  died  in  pools 
of  blood  at  IiibherdtAkroda  ;  but  St  Berchan  gives 
his  Bucceasor,  whom  he  terms  the  Daaachtach,  or  the 
fierce,  a  reign  of  nine  years,  making  up  the  sixteen 
years  between  them,  and  says  he  died  in  a  dangerous 
pass.  In  the  chronicle  annexed  to  the  "  Historia  Bri- 
"  tonnm,"  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin  is  also  termed  Rex  Pic- 
toTum,  while  in  t^e  "  Pictish  Chronicle"  the  country 
in  which  he  ruled  is  still  called  Pictavia.  In  the 
"  Irish  Annals "  these  four  kings  are  termed  Heges 
Pictorum.  Although,  therefore,  they  were  Scots 
by  race,  they  were  evidently  viewed  as  having 
ascratded  the  Fictish  throng  and  the  Pictish  mon- 
archy was  held  to  have  still  subsisted  in  their  persona 

The  succession,  however,  having  been  maintained  *^" 
in  the  family  of  Kenneth,  was  not  in  accordance  with 
the  Pictdsh  law ;  and  after  the  death  of  Aedh  an  effort 
seems  to  have  been  made  to  enforce  the  old  Pictish 
law  of  succession  throogh  females,  as  we  find  from 
the  "Fictish  Chronicle"  that  Eocha,  sou  of  Son, 
king  of  the  Britons,  by  the  daughter  of  Kenneth 
Mac  Alpin,  is  placed  on  the  throne,  to  the  exclusion 
of  the  direct  male  descendant,  and  along  with  him 
is   associated    in  the    govenunent,  Grig,  son    of 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


Dungal,  who  appears  in  most  of  the  Latin  lists  as 
sole  king.  By  the  "  Kctiah  Chronide,"  he  is  said 
to  have  been  expelled  from  the  kingdom  with  Eocha, 
after  a  reign  of  eleven  years ;  and  by  the  Latin  lists, 
Grig  is  said  to  have  died  at  Dundum,  after  a  reign 
of  twelve  years  according  to  some,  and  of  eighteen 
years  according  to  others.  St.  Berchan  mentions 
Eocha  as  TuiUigh  the  Brit  from  Cluaide,  and  gives 
him  a  reign  of  thirteen  years.  He  terms  Grig 
Mac  Rath,  the  son  of  fortune,  and  states  that,  after 
ragning  seventeen  years,  he  was  slain  by  the  Firiu 
Fortren,  or  men  of  Fortren,  at  the  noble  house  on 
the  banks  of  the  Earn.  Grig  is  mentioned  by  Flann 
under  the  name  of  Ciric ;  but  both  he  and  Eocha 
are  omitted  by  the  "  Albanic  Duan,"  and  are  un- 
noticed in  the  "  Irish  Annala."  It  is  difficult  to 
ascertain  whether  Grig  was  of  the  Fictish  or  of  the 
Scottish  race,  but  the  probabihties  are  rather  in 
favour  of  the  former.  At  this  time,  two  of  the  old 
provinces  of  the  Pictish  kii^om  south  of  the 
Grampians  seem  still  to  have  been  possessed  by  the 
Ficta  The  one  was  Fortren,  of  which  Stratheam 
undoubtedly  formed  a  part.  The  Firiu  Fortrejt, 
or  men  of  Fortren,  are  repeatedly  mentioned  during 
this  time ;  and  their  stronghold  appears  to  have 
been  the  hill-fort  of  Dundum,  at  the  east  end  of 
Loch  Earn,  not  far  from  St.  Fillans.*    The  other

province  was  that  of  Maghcircin,  corrupted  into 
Meams ;  and  the  "  Viri  na  Moeme,"  or  men  of  the 
Mearos,  appear  likewise  as  a  distinctiTe  people; 
their  Btronghold  was  Dunfoiker,  the  old  name  of 
Donnottar,  on  the  bold  headland  on  which  the 
rained  caatle  of  Dunnottar  now  stands.^  The  dis- 
tricts lying  between  these  two  outlying  provinces, 
probably  formed  the  heart  of  the  kingdom  ruled 
by  Kenneth  and  his  successors,  having  Scone  for 
its  capital  Grig  appears  in  remarkable  connexion 
with  both  of  these  Pictish  provinces.  The  old  form 
of  his  name  is  Giric,  which  is  the  same  as  the  name 
of  one  of  the  seven  sons  of  Cruithne,  from  whom 
Maghdrein  took  its  designation.  There  is  a  curious 
notice  in  the  "  Pictdsh  Chronicle,"  that  in  his  ninth 
year  an  eclipse  of  the  sun  took  place"  die  Cirici."  The 
day  of  St  Cyricus  fell  on  the  1 6  th  of  June,  and  there 
actually  was  a  great  eclipse  of  the  son  on  the  16th  of 
Jime  885,  which  corresponds  tolerably  well  with  his 
nint^  year.  This  seems  to  show  some  connexion 
between  his  own  name  and  that  of  the  saint ;  and  it 
is  curious  that  a  church  in  the  Meams,  dedicated  to 
St  Cyricus,  is  called  in  old  charters  Eccleagrei^

or  the  Church  of  Greig.  He  seems,  therefore,  to  have 
founded  a  church  among  the  Picts  of  Maghcircin ; 
and,  when  expelled  from  the  kingdom,  to  have  taken 
refuge  among  the  Picts  of  Fortren,  where  he  was 
alain  at  Dundum.  His  omission  by  the  "Irish 
"  Annals,"  and  the  "  Albanic  Duan,"  rather  favour 
the  conclusion  that  he  was  not  of  the  Bcottdsh  race, 
and  tirnt  the  omission  of  his  name  by  the  "  Albanic 
"  Duan"  was  intentional,  appears  from  this,  that 
fourteen  years  have  been  added  to  the  reign  of  Con- 
Btantine,  making  the  whole  period  of  his  reign  thirty 
years,  bo  as  to  extend  his  reign,  and  that  of  his  suc- 
cessor, over  the  period  of  that  of  Crrig.  If  Grig  had 
completed  his  eighth  year  on  16th  June  885,  this 
places  his  accession  in  877,  which  agrees  sufficiently 
well  with  the  dates  in  the  "Irish  Annals;"  his 
eleventh  year  would  be  completed  in  888,  his  twelfth 
in  889,  and  his  eighteenth  in  895. 
EingiofAibui.  His  succcssor  Donald,  son  of  Constantine,  son  c^ 
D^Bonof  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  is  said  by  the  "Pictish  Cfaro- 
"  nicle  "  to  have  ruled  eleven  years,  and  his  death 
is  placed  by  the  "Irish  Annals"  in  900,  which 
places  his  ascension  in  889,  after  the  expulsion  of 
Grig  and  Eocha,  while  the  death  of  Grig  at  Duu- 
dum  would  fell  in  the  seventh  year  of  his  reign. 
It  is  remarkable  that  the  "  Albanic  Duan,"  though 
ignoring  Grig,  gives  Donald  a  reign  of  only  four 
years,  thus  commencing  at  that  date.  8t  Berchan 
tenns  this  king  An  Garbh,  the  rough,  and  gives 
h\Tf\   a  reign  of  nine  years,  but  interposes  a  king

tensed  An  BhaotK,  the  foolish,  between  him  and 
Oiig,  whose  reign  commencea  at  Dundum,  and 
lasts  thiee  years;  but,  accordiog  to  one  of  the 
chronideB,  Grig  was  succeeded  by  his  brother  Con- 
stantine,  who  reigned  two  years.  The  "Pictish 
"Chronicle"  records  a  battle  in  his  reign,  "in 
"  UilibcoUan  inter  Danarios  et  Scottos,  Scotti 
"  habuenmt  victoriam,"  and  adds^  "  oppidum  Fother 
"  occisum  est  a  gentibuB."  The  expression  occisum 
can  hardly  be  used  to  a  fort  or  town,  and  is  probably 
a  mistake  for  occisus  est,  viz.,  that  Donald  was  slain 
at  "  oppidum  Fother."  The  Latin  lists  remove  his 
death  to  Forres,  in  Moray,  but  "oppidum  FotJier" 
is  Dun/other,  and  St  Berchan  indicates  its  situa- 
tion, for  he  states  that  he  fought  with  6alls  and 
with  GaSl,  and  that  he  dispersed  his  foes  at  Fother- 
dun,  now  Fordun,  in  the  Meama,  where  he  lies  on 
the  brink  of  the  waves. 

After  the  accession  of  this  Donald,  there  is  a 
marked  change  in  the  designation  of  the  kings  and 
in  the  appellation  of  the  country.  In  the  "Irish 
"  Annals  "  they  are  no  longer  called  Reges  Pictorum, 
but  Ri  Alban,  or  kings  of  Alban.  Pictavia  disap- 
pears from  the  "  Pietish  Chronicle,"  and  the  comitry 
in  which  they  ruled  is  now  called  A  U>ania.  This  im- 
plies that  the  contests  by  which  Eocha  and  Grig 
had  first  berai  placed  on  the  throne,  and  afterwards 
expelled  by  the  male  descendants  of  Kesmeth,  had 
really  effected  a  revolution,  under  which  the  last 
vestiges  of  the  Pietish  monarchy  had  disappeared  ; 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


and  instead  of  a  PictiBh  kingdom,  ruled  by  a 
Scottish  dynasty,  it  had  become  to  all  intents 
and  purposes  a  monarchy,  in  which  the  supre- 
macy of  the  Scots  was  fully  established. 
'  In  each  successive  reign  the  power  of  the  Scots 
**  became  still  fuitii^  extended.  Constantin,  the  suc- 
cessor of  Donald,  was  the  son  of  Aed,  son  of  Kenneth 
Mac  Alpin.  The  "  Pictish  Chronicle  "  gives  him  a 
reign  of  forty  years,  in  which  it  is  supported  by  some 
of  the  Latin  lists,  while  others  limit  it  to  thirty  and 
thirty-five  years.  The  chronology  of  his  reign  is 
distinct  enough.  The  "Pictish  Chronicle"  states 
that  in  his  third  year  the  Normanni  laid  waste 
Bunkeld  and  aU  Albania,  and  in  the  following  year 
were  slain  in  Stratheam,  and  that  in  his  dghteenth 
year  the  battle  of  Tinmore  was  fought  between 
Constantin  and  Eegnall,  in  which  the  Scots  were 
victorious ;  and  the  "  Irish  Annals  "  have  the  slaugh- 
ter of  Ivor  O'lvor  by  the  mai  of  Fortren  in  904, 
and  in  918  a  great  battle  between  Kegnall,  king  of 
the  Dugalls,  and  the  men  of  Alban.  In  the  latter 
part  of  his  reign  he  was  brought  into  contact  with 
the  Saxons,  and,  according  to  the  "  Saxon  Chronide," 
placed  himself  in  924  under  the  protection  of  Ed- 
ward, the  elder  king  of  England.  In  926  he  entered 
into  a  treaty  with  Athelstane,  Edward's  successor, 
who,  in  934,  on  the  plea  that  the  treaty  had  been 
broken,  invaded  Scotland  both  by  sea  and  land,  sent 
his  fleet  as  fax  as  Caithness,  and  penetrated  with  his 
land  army  as  far  as  Dunfoeder  and  Wertermore.   The

PREFACK  cxU 

former  is  no  doubt  the  fort  of  Dun/other  or  Dun- 
nottar  ;  and  in  937  the  great  battle  of  Bninanburg 
was  fought  between  Athelstane  on  the  one  hand  and 
the  whole  Danish  force  of  the  islands,  on  whose  side 
was  ranged  the  Scots,  with  their  king  Constantiu,  on 
the  other.  In  the  prominent  part  taken  by  him  in  the 
straggle  between  the  Danes  and  the  Anglo-Saxons, 
he  alwajs  appears  as  king  of  the  Scots ;  and  finally, 
towards  the  end  of  his  reign,  the  Sazons  appUed  the 
term  of  Scotland  to  his  kingdom, — a  name  which 
had  previously  been  given  by  them  to  Ireland.  The 
'  Fictish  Chronicle "  states  that  in  his  old  age  he 
entered  the  Church,  and  transferred  his  kingdom  to 
Malcolm,  the  son  of  Donald,  and  the  Latin  lists  all 
i^ree  that  he  became  Abbot  of  the  Culdees  of  St. 
Andrews.  The  "  Albanic  Duan"  gives  him  a  reign 
of  forty-five  years,  and  St.  Berchan,  who  calls  him 
Midhaise,  forty-seven  years,  but  the  identity  is  clear, 
as  he  makes  him  retire  to  the  "  monastery  on  the 
"  brink  of  the  waves,"  and  states  that  he  died'  in 
"  the  house  of  the  apostle."  In  the  reign  of  Con- 
stantine,  his  brother  Donald  had  been  jelected  king 
of  the  Strathclyde  Britons  ;  and  in  the  reign  of 
Malcolm,  the  son  of  Donald,  his  successor,  the  lucoira,  i 
kingdom  of  Cumbria  was  conquered  by  Edmund,  °'^****'^ 
king  of  the  Sazons,  and  given  to  him.  The  "  Pict- 
"  ish  Chronicle "  gives  Malcolm  a  reign  of  eleven 
years,  and  the  Latin  lists  of  nine ;  and  the  only 
other  event  recorded  of  him  is  his  ravaging  North- 
nmbria  as  far  as  the  Tees  in  his  seventh  year ;

but  tie  "Pietiah  Chromcle"  adds  that  Bome  attxi- 
bute  thiB  expedition  to  Constantiii,  who  resumed 
his  kiBgdom  for  the  purpose,  and  this  will  account 
for  the  reign  of  the  latter  being  prolonged  by  some 
to  forty-five  and  forty-seven  years,  and  for  the 
"  Albanic  Duan"  assigning  only  four  years  to  Mal- 
colm. The  "  Pietiah  Chromcle "  says  he  was  slain 
by  the  Viri  na  Moeme  at  FodreaacL  The  latin 
lists,  as  usual,  remove  the  scene  of  his  death  to 
Moray,  at  a  place  they  call  Ulum ;  but  St  Berehan, 
who  calls  him  the  Sodhdhearg,  or  dangerous  red 
one,  and  gives  him  a  reign  of  nine  years,  confirms 
the  "  Pictish  Chronicle,"  as  he  places  his  death  on 
the  brink  oi  Dun/other,  and  thus  establishes  its  iden- 
tification with  Dunnottar,  which  is  close  to  FettCT- 
esso.    The  "  Irish  Annals"  place  his  death  in  9S4. 

He  was  succeeded  by  Indul^  son  of  ConstantiD, 
to  whom  the  "  Pictish  Chromcle"  gives  a  reign  of 
eight  years,  and  the  Latin  lists  of  nine.  In  his  reign 
th6  "  oppidum  Edin,"  or  Dunedin,  that  is  Edinburgh, 
was  yielded  to  the  Scots  by  the  Angles,  and  along  with 
it  probably  the  country  between  Stirling  and  Edin- 
burgh. St.  Berchao,  who  calls  him  the  lonsaight- 
heack,  or  aggressor,  and  gives  him  a  reign  of  nine 
and  a  half  years,  says  that  he  lost  no  part  of  his 
territories,  but  added  to  his  kingdom  by  an  addi- 
tion fi^m  a  foreign  land.  The  I^tin  lists  say  that 
he  was  slain  by  the  Norwegians  at  Invercnlan,  but 
St.  Berehan  expressly  states  that  he  died  "  in  the 
"  house  of  the  same  pure  apostle  where  his  father

intended ;  his  fortifying  the  banks  of  the  fords  of 
Forth,  which  shows  the  then  southern  limit  of  his 
kingdom  ;  and  his  donation  of  Brechin  to  Uie 
Church.  By  the  Latin  lists  he  has  a  reign,  of  twenty- 
four  years,  and  is  said  to  have  been  slain  by  the 
treachery  of  Finuele  or  Findle  Cunchar,  Earl  of 
Angus,  corrupted  into  FineUa,  daughter  of  Cunchar, 
at  Fettercaim.  St.  Berchan  calls  him  the  Fingalach, 
or  fratricide,  gives  him  a  reign  of  twenty-four  years, 
and  says  that  he  went  to  Maghsliahh  at  the  great 
Monadh  or  Mounth,  where  he  met  his  end.  The 
"  Irish  Annals"  record  his  slaughter  by  his  own 
people  in  995. 
n  He  was  succeeded  by  Conatantin,  the  son  of  Culen, 
to  whom  the  Latin  lists  give  a  reign  of  one  year 
and  a  half,  but  the  "  Albanic  Duan"  of  seven  years ; 
while  St.  Berchan,  who  calls  him  the  feeble  kin^ 
gives  him  also  a  reign  of  one  year  and  a  hal£  He 
was  slain  by  Kenneth,  son  of  Malcolm,  at  Inver- 
amon.  St  Berchan  calls  it  a  great  battle,  at  the 
Sruthlinn,  or  stream  pool,  which  is  called  Toe,  by 
which  the  linn  of  Campsie  on  the  Tay,  not  far  from 
where  it  is  joined  by  the  Almond,  is  probably  meant. 
His  death  in  a  battle  among  the  Albanich  them- 
selves is  recorded  by  the  "Irish  Annals"  in  997.

He  vas  succeeded  by  a  king  who  is  called  by  (HimmI,  w 
some  of  the  Latin  lists,  and  by  Flann  Mainistreach,  ° 
and  the  **  Irish  Annals,"  Cinaed,  son  of  Ehif ;  bat 
hy  others  of  the  liStin  liete,  Grig,  eon  of  Kinet,  son 
of  Dubh,  to  whom  areign  of  eight  years  is  ^ven  here; 
by  some  lists  Einet,  son  of  Duf,  is  made  to  succeed 
his  &ther  before  Culen,  and  to  have  reigned  one  year 
and  a  half.  He  "Albanic  Duan"  calls  him  simply 
Macduib,  aud  ^ves  him  a  reign  of  four  years.  St 
Berchan  calls  him  the  Donn,  or  "  brown  from  strong 
"  Ihrncath,"  and  gives  him  a  reign  of  eight  years  and 
a  half.  He  is  also  apparently  meant  by  the  Ken- 
neth, son  of  Malcolm,  who  slew  Constantin.  It  is 
obvious  that  there  is  some  confusion  here  which  the 
loss  of  the  "  Pictish  Chronicle"  leaves  no  means  of 
clearing  up ;  but  the  probability  ia  that  the  king  who 
now  reigned  was  Kenneth,  son  of  Dubh,  also  called 
son  of  Malcolm,  and  that  he  had  a  son  Grig,  who  may 
have  reigned  along  with  him.  He  is  said  by  the 
Latin  lists  to  have  been  EUain  by  Malcolm,  son  of 
Kenneth,  in  Moighenard,  now  Monzievaird.  St. 
Berchan  says  he  was  killed  at  his  "  stone  of  blood 
"  between  two  glens"  on  the  banks  of  the  Earn. 
The  "  Irish  Annals"  record  in  1005  a  battle  among 
the  men  of  Albao,  in  which  the  king  of  Alban,  i.e., 
Kenneth,  son  of  Dubh,  was  slain. 

For  the  reign  of  Malcolm,  son  of  Kenneth,  and  his 
successors  to  Malcolm  Canmore,  we  have  the  almost 
cotemporary  authority  of  Mariantia  Scotus ;  and  the 
confusion  which  exists  m  the  short  interval  be- 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


tween  the  termination  of  the  "Pictish  Chronicle" 
and  the  reign  of  Malcolm  the  Second  shows  the 
valne  of  that  authority,  and  the  danger  of  trusting 
excluBiTely  to  the  Latin  lists. 
I  From  the  above  ehort  sketch  of  the  reigns  of  the 
1  successors  of  Kenneth  Mae  Alpin,  it  is  plain  that 
after  the  termination  of  the  reign  of  Grig,  the  son  of 
Dungal,  the  kings  belonged  to  two  families,  both 
descended  from  Kemieth  Mac  Alpin  through  his 
two  sons  Constantin  and  Aed,  and  that  the  mem- 
bers of  each  family  occupied  the  throne  alternately. 
It  will  also  be  apparent  that  the  one  family  was 
more  peculiarly  connected  with  tiie  northern  dis- 
tricts, and  the  other  with  the  aouthem.  Thus, 
Donald,  son  of  Constantin,  died  at  Dunfotker.  His 
son  Malcolm  is  said  by  the  "  Pictish  Chronicle"  to 
have  invaded  Moray,  and  died  also  at  Fetteresso, 
or  Dunfotker.  One  of  his  sons,  Dubh,  died  at  Forres ; 
his  other  son,  Kenneth,  died  at  FettercaJm,  and 
founded  the  church  of  Brechin  ;  and  his  son  Mal- 
colm at  Glammia.  On  the  other  hand,  Constantin 
fights  in  Lothian,  and  retires  to  St.  Andrews,  where 
he  dies.  His  brother  Donald  is  elected  king  of 
Strathclyde.  His  son  Indulf  acquires  Dunedin  and 
the  territory  around  it,  and  also  dies  at  St  Andrews. 
IndiilTs  son,  Culen,  is  slain  in  Lothian  by  the 
Biitons,  and  his  son  Constantin  is  dain  at  luver- 
amon,  on  the  Tay.  This  family  seems  to  have  come 
to  an  end  in  the  person  of  Constantin,  when  their 
I  probably  fell  to  the  other  house,  which 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOglc

at  this  time  also  divided  itself  into  two  branchee, 
descended  from  the  two  brothers,  Dubh  and  Kenneth, 
sons  of  Malcolm.  In  Kenneth,  son  of  Dubh,  and  his 
son  Grig,  this  line  of  kings  came  to  an  end ;  bnt  the 
"Irish  Annals"  record  a  Boede,  son  of  Kenneth, 
whose  grandson  was  Blain  in  the  year  1033  ;  and  it. 
appears  irom  the  chartolary  of  St  Andrews  that 
Gmoeh  filia  Boede  was  wife  of  Macbeth,  son  of 
Finnloech,  and  reigned  along  with  him,  while 
Lnlach,  his  successor,  is  termed  in  one  of  the  Latin 
lists,  "  nepos  filii  Boede ;"  and  thus  the  rights  of  that 
family  may  have  passed  to  her  husband  and  to 
Lnlach,  and  given  rise  to  their  claims  upon  the 
throne. 

Malcolm,  the  son  of  Kenneth,  is  termed  by  M4iooim,  ion 
the  chronicles,  "  Bex  Victoriosissimus,''  and,  by  St. 
Berchan,  the  Forrcmach,  or  destroyer.  He  gives 
him  a  reign  of  thirty-five  years,  and  says  that 
"  ten  hosts  were  defeated  before  him."  He  reigned 
from  1004  to  1034,  and  to  him  the  province  of 
Lothian,  or  that  part  of  Bemicia  which  extended 
from  tie  Tweed  to  the  Forth,  was  ceded. 

The  kings  of  the  race  of  Kenneth  were  now  in  pos- 
session of  the  four  kingdoms  of  the  Picts,  the  Scots, 
the  Strathclyde  Britons,  and  the  Angles,  north  of 
the  Tweed,  and  with  Malcolm  another  change  takes 
place  in  the  designation  of  tibe  king  and  of  the 
territory  he  ruled  over.  The  king  is  now  termed  Kings  of  Sootu. 
Rob  ScotuB,  and  the  latter  loses  the  name  of  Alba- 
nia and  assumes  that  of  Scoti^  but  the  name  of 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


Scotia  was  still  applied  to  that  part  of  his  Mng- 
dom  which  had  been  previously  termed  Albania, 
and  which  lay  between  the  Firth  of  Forth,  the  river 
Spey,  and  Drumalban.  Although  he  ruled  aa  king 
over  the  other  districts,  they  appear  still  to  have 
preserved  their  distinctive  appellatioDS,  and  to  have 
been  considered  as  separate  provinces.  It  was  only 
when  they  were  fully  incorporated  into  the  kingdom 
of  Scotland  that  the  name  of  Scotia  extended  over 
the  whole.  MalcolmuB  R&e  Scotia  died,  according 
to  Marianus  Scotus,  on  the  seventh  day  before  the 
Kalends  of  December,  or  on  the  25th  of  Novem- 
ber 1034.  Duncan  Rex  Scotice,  the  son  of  his 
daughter,  succeeded  him,  and  was  slain  by  Macbeth, 
whom  he  calls  d/ux  suns,  on  the  nineteenth  of  the 
Kalends  of  September,  or  the  14th  of  August  1040, 
having  reigned  five  years  from  8t  Andrew's  Day, 
and  till  the  day  which  Marianus  calls  the  Nativitas 
SanctsB  Marite,  but  by  which  the  Feast  of  the 
Assumption,  on  the  15th  of  August,  is  meant 
Macbeth,  also  called  Rex  Scotice,  was  slain  in  August 
1067,  having  reigned  seventeen  years  to  the  same 
Missa  SanctsQ  Maris ;  Lulach  on  the  17th  March 
1058,  having  reigned  from  the  Missa  Sanctse  Marisa 
to  the  Missa  Sancti  Fatricii ;  Malcolm,  son  of  Dun- 
can, regit  Scotiarti,  and  had  reigned  twenty  years 
to  the  same  Missa  Sancti  Fatricii,  that  is  17th

This  sketch  of  the  history  of  the  four  nations  DzTXLonmr 
which  occupied  the  territory  of  the  subsequent  king-  tn^*BLE. 
dom  of  Scotland,  shows  tite  Scots  as  occupying  a 
very  differmt  posilion  in  true  histoiy  &om  that  as- 
Eogned  to  them  in  the  scheme  of  the  early  Scottish 
history  propounded  by  John  of  Fordun.  Appearing 
for  the  first  time  in  t^e  year  360  as  a  people  of 
Ireland,  inhabiting  Ireland,  and  joining  with  other 
barbaric  tribes  in  inclusions  upon  the  Boman  province 
in  Britain,  it  was  only  about  the  year  498  that  tiie 
Scots  formed  their  first  permanent  settlement  on 
the  western  shores  of  North  Britain  ;  and,  confined 
within  limits  differing  but  little  &om  those  of  t^e 
modem  county  of  Ai^le,  thoy  remained  a  small 
Scottish  colony  in  Britain  for  about  260  years,  ie., 
to  nearly  the  middle  of  the  eighth  century,  under 
their  Scottish  kings,  without  extending  tiieir  terri- 
tory beyond  these  limits.  During  this  time  they 
were  subjected  for  a  period  of  between  thirty  and 
forty  years  to  the  rule  of  the  Angles,  and  at  the  end 
of  it  they  were  entirely  crushed  and  subdued  by  the 
Pictish  monarch.  There  was  then  an  interval  of  as 
nearly  as  possible  one  century  between  the  termina- 
tion of  the  small  Scottish  kingdom  of  Balriada  and 
the  subsequent  Scottish  kingdom  founded  by  Ken- 
neth Mac  Alpin,  during  which  we  find  a  aeries  of 
Pictish  princes  in  Daliiada.  In  the  middle  of  the 
ninth  century  a  Scottish  dynasty  was  placed  on  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


el  PREFACE. 

PictiBh  throne  under  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  who,  after 
rohng  for  four  reigns  as  Idngs  of  the  Picta,  succeeded 
in  establishing  the  Bucceaaion  permanently  in  the 
Scottish  line,  while  the  Scots  obtained  so  com- 
pletely the  supremacy  under  the  monarcbs  of  their 
own  race  that  the  kingdom  became  essentially  Scot- 
tish, and  their  kings  were  termed  either  Beges 
Albcmite,  or  Seges  Scotorum.  Under  this  line  of 
kings  and  their  successors,  the  different  provinces 
forming  the  subsequent  kingdom  of  Scotland  came 
by  degrees  under  their  sway,  until  eventually  they 
became  kings  of  the  whole  teiritoiy  of  Scotland,  and 
aa  these  provinces  became  incorporated  into  the 
kingdom,  it  formed  one  compact  monarchy.  Such 
seems  to  be  the  true  deduction  from  our  oldest  his- 
torical documents,  compared  with  the  narrative  of 
Bede  and  other  historians,  writing  at  a  period  to 
make  their  statements  of  paiamount  authority ;  and 
the  question  remains  as  one,  the  solution  of  which 
seems  necessarily  to  complete  the  inquiry,  How  did 
this  history  of  the  Scots  come  to  lose  its  true  aepect^ 
and  transform  itself  into  one  of  so  different  a  cluuv 
acter  aa  ihat  to  which  it  had  attained  when  John  of 
Fordim  compiled  his  history,  and  to  what  extent 
can  the  cause  of  this  transformation  be  still  traced  ? 
Throughout  the  whole  of  the  true  history  of  the 
people,  as  recorded  in  the  scattered  notices  of  the 
annals,  and  the  meagre  lists  of  the  chronicles,  it  is 
very  apparent  that  the  ecclesiastical  element  entered 
very  lai^ly  into  the  course  of  their  history,  and 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


exercised  a  powerful  influence  in  the  direction  - 
which  it  took ;  and  there  seems  little  reason  to  doubt 
tibat  this  element  enters  equally  lai^y  into  the 
causes  which  led  to  so  great  a  change  in  the  state- 
ment of  their  history,  if  it  did  not  give  the  first  im- 
pulse to  it  The  annals  of  the  Christian  Chiirch  in 
Scotland  shed,  therefore,  a  great  light  upon  the 
course  of  its  civil  history ;  and  it  is  hardly  possible 
to  read  the  one  aright  without  clearly  apprehenditig 
the  bearing  and  influence  of  the  other. 

When  Church  historians  of  Scotland  commence  intiodoeuon  of 
their  narrative  by  stating  that  the  period  of 
the  introduction  of  Christianity  into  this  country  is 
nncertain,  and  its  early  history  involved  in  obscu- 
rity, they  express  an  opinion  about  as  completely 
opposite  to  the  real  facts  of  the  case  as  can  well  be 
imagined.  The  date  of  its  introduction  into  evety 
part  of  Scotland  can  be  stated  with  more  than  usual 
precision.  The  Strathclyde  Britons  looked  to  St. 
Ninian  as  their  first  apostle,  and  as  it  is  recorded  of 
him  that  he  heard  of  tiie  death  of  St  Martin  of 
Tours  while  the  first  Christian  Church  in  that 
coontry  was  being  built  at  Whitheme,  its  date  is 
fixed  to  the  year  SdV.  The  Angles  of  Northumbria 
were  converted  to  Christianity  by  Paulinus  in  the 
year  626.  Of  the  Picts,  the  southern  division  were 
converted  by  St  Ninian  of  Whitheme,  and  the 
northern  Hcts  by  St  Columba,  who  came  from 
Ireland  in  the  year  663 ;  and  the  Scots  were  already 
Christians  when  they  landed  in  Argyleshire  in  the 
year  498. 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


TwownreM,        The  Christianity  of  ScotUnd  was  thna  derived 
derivsd.  from  two  different  soorces  :  that  of  the  Britons,  the 

Angles,  and  the  Southern  Picta  came  from  aoatli 
Britain ;  and  that  of  the  Scots  and  the  northern 
Picts&om  Ireland  ;  and  the  Chnrchea  derived  from 
each  were  very  different  in  spirit  and  in  character. 
The  Chnrch  of  the  Britons  of  Strathclyde  and  of  the 
Southern  Ficts  wsb  more  immediately  founded  by  St. 
Ninian,  who  derived  his  teaching  from  Borne ;  the 
Churdi  of  the  Angles  was  an  offshoot  of  that  founded 
by  AngoBtine,  a  direct  missionary  from  Borne.  The 
Church  of  the  Northern  Picta  and  of  the  Scots 
was  derived  &om  that  founded  by  St.  Patrick  in 
Ireland.  The  former  seem  not  to  have  differed  ia 
their  constitution  &om  the  churches  of  other  coun- 
tries. They  possessed  an  episcopate  in  the  full 
exercise  of  its  ordinary  jurisdiction  and  functions, 
and  a  secular  clergy;  and,  although  monasticiam 
existed  in  them  to  a  great  extent,  it  entered  into  the 
system  as  a  distinct  element  attached  to,  but  not 
coincident  with,  the  cleigy.  On  the  other  hand, 
monasticism  had  attained  to  a  much  more  influential 
position  in  the  Columban  Church  when  it  emerged 
from  Ireland.  It  was  a  monastic  church,  in  the 
fullest  sense  of  the  term,  not  merely  that  it  pos- 
sessed monastic  institutions,  and  that  these  institu- 
tions occupied«a  wide  and  prominent  position  in  the 
Church,  but  that  the  entire  Church  was  monastic, 
and  her  whole  clergy  embraced  within  the  fold  of 
the  monastic  rule.    As  Bede  expresses  it,  in  talking 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PREFACE.  clui 

of  her  offishoot  at  Lindiafeme  : — "  Omnes  Preaby  ten, 
"  Diaconi,  Cantores,  Lectorea,  ceterique  gradus  eccte- 
"  siastici,  monachicam  per  omnia,  cum  ipso  Epis- 
"  copo,  regulam  Bervent"  (Vit  S.  CutL  c.  xvi) 
She  required  the  exercise  of  episcopal  fonctions 
-within  her  as  much  as  any  other  church,  and  had 
the  superior  order  of  bishops,  according  to  canonical 
rule,  for  the  purpose  ;  but,  just  as  the  tendency  of 
all  monasteries  within  a  church  was  to  obtain  ex- 
emption &om  the  rule  of  the  diocesan  Bishop,  and 
even  to  have  within  themselves  a  resident  Bishop, 
for  the  exercise  of  episcopal  functions  in  the  monas- 
tery, to  whose  abbot  he  was  subject,  as  being  under 
the  monastic  rule ;  so  when  the  entire  Church  was 
monastic,  the  whole  episcopate  was  necessarily  in 
this  position.  There  was  nothing  in  it  derogatory 
to  the  power  of  episcopal  orders,  and  to  the  episco- 
pal functions  of  which  they  are  the  source,  but  the 
mission,  and  the  jurisdiction  which  flowed  from  it, 
was  not  in  the  Bishop,  but  in  the  monastery,  and 
was  necessarily  exercised  through  the  abbots  who 
was  its  monastic  head. 

These  two  Christian  Efystems,  derived  from  Two  chnichM. 
churches  of  different  character,  and  entering  Scot- 
land &om  diflferent  quarters — the  one  from  the 
south,  and  the  other  from  the  west— necessarily 
came  in  contact  with  each  other  in  the  common 
field  of  their  missionary  labours,  and  occasionally 
superseded  each  oth^,  according  as  the  one  or  other 
prevailed  in  the  different  districts,  and,  though  the

prominent  pointB  of  difforence  were  the  proper 
time  for  keeping  Easter  and  the  tonsure,  there  can 
be  little  doubt  that  much  of  the  antagonism  between 
them  hy  in  the  different  spirit  and  oi^anization  of 
Th.ci.M^or  tue  Churches.  The  church  founded  by  St  Ninian 
Kentigern.  originally  embraced  the  whole  of  the  country  south 
of  the  Firths  of  Forth  and  Clyde ;  while  its  popula- 
tion was  entirely  British,  and  extended  beyond  the 
former  estuary  into  the  regions  occupied  by  the 
southern  Picts ;  but  the  Saxon  colonies  on  the 
eastern  shore,  and  the  Angles  who  formed  the  king- 
dom of  Bemicia,  within  the  hmits  of  his  church,  were 
pagans ;  and  the  influence  of  this  pagan  population, 
and  the  decay  of  the  Church  naturally  caused  what 
is  termed  by  the  monastic  writers  an  "  apostama." 
The  Church  was  revived  among  the  Britons  of 
Strathclyde  in  the  sixth  century,  by  Kentigern,  who 
thus  re-founded  the  Church  in  the  same  century  with 
the  arrival  of  St.  Columba.  The  earlier  part  of  his 
acts  is  probably  fabulous;  but  this  seems  certain, 
that,  when  the  battle  of  Arderydd,  in  5  7  3,  established 
Sederchen  as  monarch  of  all  the  Strathclyde  Bri- 
tons, Kentigern  came  from  Wales  with  a  number  of 
clergy,  from  the  monastery  of  Llanelwy,  which  he 
had  founded,  and  re-established  the  Church  in 
Strathclyde,  of  which  Glasgow  became  the  chief 
seat  Although  the  Northumbrians  were  converted 
in  the  reign  of  Edwin  by  Paulinus  in  the  year  625, 
according  to  the  narrative  of  Bede,  there  is  reason 
to  conclude  that  the  Church  of  Kentigern  had  a 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


large  share  in  their  conversion;  for,  according  to 
the  additions  to  the  "  Historia  Britonum ,"  they  are 
said  to  have  been  baptized  by  Bun,  the  son  of 
Urien;  while  Kentigem  -was,  according  to  Welsh 
tradition,  either  the  son  or  the  grandson  of  the  aame  ' 
Urien.  The  seat  of  this  Church  was  fiied  at  York. 
If  we  may  judge  by  the  dedications  of  the  churches, 
there  is  reason  to  beUcre  that  the  Church  of  Ken- 
tigem likewise  extended  itself  beyond  the  Firth  of 
Forth  into  the  r^ons  of  the  southern  Ficts.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  Colmnban  Church,  the  prin-  Tb«  chnn*

cipal  seat  of  which  was  the  Monastery  of  lona,  soon 
advanced  beyond  the  frontiers  of  the  northern 
Ficts,  and  completely  superseded  the  other  Church 
over  the  whole  territories  of  the  Picta  In  633  the 
conquest  of  Nortfaumbria  by  the  pagan  Penda,  king 
of  the  Kercians,  and  the  semi-pagan  Ceadwalla, 
king  of  North  Wales,  and  the  death  of  Edwin,  ex- 
tinguished the  infant  Church  which  had  been 
founded  at  York  ;  and  when  the  Christian  Church 
was  again  restca^  by  Oswald,  who  had  dwelt  in 
exile  at  lona  during  the  reign  of  Edmund,  and  been 
educated  byitsmonte,he  introduced  the  Columban 
Church  into  Northnmbria,  which  remained  the  sole 
Church  of  that  country  for  thirty  years,  having  its 
chief  seat  in  the  small  island  of  Lindisfame,  where 
they  founded  a  monastery  on  the  exact  model  of 
that  of  lona.  It  is  when  alluding  to  lona  at  the 
time  of  Uie  introduction  of  the  Columban  Church

*  the  province  of  the  Picts  and  added  it  to  his  domin- 
ions,  the  Church  of  Northumbria  was  still  Columban, 
and  therefore  that  conquest  produced  no  change  in 
its  ecclesiastical  relations ;  but  when  the  result  of 
the  Council  of  "Whitby  led  to  the  departure  of  the 
Columban  Church  &om  Northumbria,  and  to  the 
establishment  of  the  ecclesiastical  party  of  which 
Wilfrid  was  the  head,  and  which  identified  itself 
with.  Rome,  its  influence  must  have  extended  itself 
■e  chnrch  whereveT  the  dominion  of  the  Angles  reached.  The 
^  chief  seat  of  this  Church  was  removed  frcan  lindis- 

fJame  to  York,  which  shows  that  the  Church  of 
Wilfrid  considered  itself  the  representative  of  the 
older  Church  at  York ;  and  when  Wilfrid  himself 
was  estabUshed  as  bishop  in  that  city,  we  are  ex- 
pressly told  that  his  diocese  included  the  province 
of  the  Picts.  The  influence  of  this  piuty  must  have 
been  still  farther  increased  when  Trumwin  was  con- 
stituted a  separate  bishop  over  the  province  of  the 
Picts.  The  drfeat  of  Ecgfrid  in  685,  and  the  over- 
throw of  the  Anglic  rule,  terminated  for  a  time,  at 
least,  that  influence ;  and  any  Anglic  clei^,  who 
had  penetrated  beyond  the  Forth,  must  have  fol- 
lowed Trumwin  in  his  hasty  flight  from  Abercom.

Chnich.  The  influence  of  the  Angles  and  of  their 
Church  upon  the  Picts  had  not  been  without  its 
effect^  for  Bede  informs  us  tiiat,  in  710,  Nectan, 
king  of  the  Picts,  renounced  the  error  by  which  he 
and  his  nation  had  till  then  been  held,  in  relation  • 
to  the  obserrance  of  Easter,  and  submitted,  together 
with  his  people,  to  celebrate  the  CathoUc  time  of 
our  Lord's  resurrection.  He  sent  messengers  to 
Ceolfrid,  Abbot  of  Jarrow,  in  Northumberland,  re- 
questing instructdon,  and  likewise  that  he  would 
send  architects  tiiat  he  might  build  a  church  after 
the  Roman  manner,  which  he  promised  to  dedicate 
in  honour  of  the  blessed  Peter,  and  that  he  and  all 
his  people  would  fdways  follow  the  custom  of  the 
holy  Koman  Apostolic  Church.  Ceol&id  accord' 
ingly  wrote  a  long  letter  in  support  of  the  Koman 
usages ;  and  Bede  goes  on  to  say,  that  this  letter 
being  read  in  the  presence  of  the  kin^  and  carefully 
interpreted  into  his  own  language  by  those  who 
could  understand  it,  he  rejoiced,  and  declared  that 
he  would  continually  hereafter  observe  the  Boman 
time  of  Easter,  and  that  the  tonsure  should  be  re- 
ceived by  his  clergy.  The  cycles  of  nineteen  years 
were  sent  throiighout  all  the  province  of  the  Picta, 
and  the  nation,  thus  reformed,  rejoiced,  as  being 
newly  placed  under  the  direction  of  St.  Peter,  and 
made  secure  under  his  protection. 

This  change  must  haVe  been  accompanied  by  the  ?^'^  °' 
introduction  of  clenry  of  the  Roman  party  from  lirtio  clergy.

deigy  of  that  Church  and  the  monastic  priests  of 
the  Colmuban  Church  soon  led  to  the  latter  being 
completely  driven  out  of  the  Pictiah  territories ;  for 
Tighemac  records,  in  717,  "Expulsio  femilie  lae 
"  trans  dorsum  Britannic  a  Nectano  Bege,"  which 
implies  that  Nectan  had  driven  the  whole  of  the 
Columban  clergy  across  Drumalban,  which  separated 
the  Pictish  kingdom  from  Dalriada  ;  and  thus  the 
entire  Fictish  people  passed  over  from  the  Columban 
to  the  Anglic  Church.  This  great  change  evidently 
forms  the  subject  of  the  "  Legend  of  Boni&cius,"  on 
16fih  March  (App.  No.  vn.)  It  shows  us  the  intro- 
duction of  a  new  clergy,  and  the  foundation  of  new 
churches,  which  were  dedicated  to  St  Peter,  In  the 
reign  of  a  King  Nectan.  And  the  clei^  thus  intro- 
duced appear  to  be  secular,  as  opposed  to  monastic. 
That  such  was  the  tradition  appears  from  Wyntoian, 
who  tells  ns  of  this  King  Nectan  : — 

"  In-  Bob  he  fowndjd  Koamarkyne, 
Dat  dowyd  vea  vyth  kyngya  Bjiie, 
And  made  vu  a  place  catbedralQ 
Be-north  Mnmne  serenile ; 
Quhan  eJiantrnvmyt  or  teculart 
Wndyr  Saynt  Bouj&ce  lyvaod  thare," 

The  legend  implies  the  same  thing,  for  Bonifacius 
is  accompanied  by  six  bishops,  seven  presbyteiB, 
seven  deacons,  seven  sub-deacons,  seven  acolytes, 
seven  exorcists,  seven  lectoft,  and  seven  hostiarii. 
These  formed  the  orders  of  the  secular  clergy ;  and 
the  number  of  bishops,  including  Bonifecius,  being

exactly  eeven,  points  so  strongly  to  the  seven 
piovinces  of  the  Pictish  kingdom,  that  it  aeems  to 
indicate  the  ^tablishment  of  a  diocesan  episcopacy. 

The  "Legend  of  St.  Servanus"  (App.  No.  tt.)  also 
belongs  to  this  period,  for  he  is  said,  according  to 
the  chronicle  in  the  "  Scalacronica,"  to  have  entered 
Fife  in  the  teign  of  Brude,  brother  of  this  Nectan ; 
and  that  he  belonged  to  the  same  missioii  seems 
indicated  by  the  fact  that  both  he  and  Bonifacius 
are  said  to  have  been  nalione  Israelitid,  and  that 
one  of  the  Bereu  bishops  mentioned  in  the  "  Legend 
"  of  Bonifacius  "  is  Servandus  or  Servanus. 

With  the  departure  of  the  Colnmban  cleigy,  the 
veneration  of  St.  Colnmba  as  the  apostle  of  the 
northern  Ficts  seems  to  have  been  given  up,  at 
least  by  the  southern  portion  of  that  people,  and  St. 
Peter  now  became  the  patron  saint  of  the  kingdom, 
and  continued  to  be  so  till  the  year  736,  when 
Angus,  ike  son  of  Fergus,  establlBhed  his  power  by 
the  defeat  of  Nectan  himself,  and  the  other  compe- 
titois  for  the  throne.  As  this  king  rapidly  brought 
the  territories  of  the  other  Pictish  families  under 
his  sway,  and  even  added  Dalriada  to  his  kingdom, 
he  seemed  desirous  to  connect  a  new  ecclesiastical 
influence  with  his  reign,  for,  in  the  same  year  that 
he  completed  the  conquest  of  Dalriada,  he  founded 
a  church  at  St  Andrews,  in  which  he  placed  a  new 
body  of  clergy,  who  had  tnx)ught  the  relics  of  St. 
Andrew  with  them,  and  this  apostle  soon  became 
the  more  popular  patron  saint  of  the  kingdom,  while

clx  PREFACE. 

the  previous  patronage  of  St.  Peter  disappeared  from 
its  annals. 

During  the  century  which  extended  from  the 
conquest  of  Dalriada  by  Angus  MacFergns  to  the 
re-establishment  of  the  Scots  ander  Kemieth  Mac 
Alpin,  St.  Andrew  remained  the  patron  saint  of  the 
whole  kingdom,  and  the  church  at  St.  Andrews  the 
head  of  the  Pictish  Church.   ' 

It  is  hardly  possible  to  suppose  that  the  Columban 
Church  thus  ejected  from  the  Pictish  Hngdona,  and 
her  clergy  deprived  of  their  ecclesiastical  establish- 
ments in  that  part  of  the  country,  should  have 
quietly  acquiesced  in  their  defeat,  or  given  up  the 
desire  and  the  hope  one  day  to  recover  their  footing 
among  the  people  whom  their  founder  had  con- 
verted ;  and  we  may  well  believe  that  the  whole  of 
the  Irish  Church,  of  which  they  were  but  an  oflfehoot, 
shared  in  the  feeling.  It  is  hardly  possible,  there- 
fore, to  doubt  that,  among  the  causes  which  led  to 
the  revolution  which  placed  a  Scottish  dynasty  on 
the  Picti^  throne,  not  the  least  influential  must 
have  been  an  effort  on  the  part  of  the  Columban 
clergy  to  recover  possession  of  their  old  establieh- 
menta.  That  such  was  one  great  cause  of  the  over- 
throw of  the  Pictish  kingdom,  is  indicated  in  the 
"  Pictish  Chronicle,"  which  states,  "  Deus  enim  eos 
"  pro  merito  sue  malitie  alienos  ac  otiosos  heredi- 
"  tate  dignatus  est  facere ;  quia  iUi  non  solum  Domini 
"  missam  ac  preceptum  spreverunt ;  sed  in  jure 
"  equitatis  aliis  equiparari  noluerent."     They  were

overtJirown,  not  only  because  they  despised  Domini 
missom  ac  preceptwta,  i.e.,  the  doctrine  and  ritual 
of  the  Colmnban  Church,  but  becauae  they  would 
not  tolerate  the  Church  itself.  If  the  influx  of  the 
secular  cleigy  under  King  Nectan  is  indicated  by 
the  "  Legend  of  St.  Boni&cius,"  the  return  of  the  Col- 
umban  clergy  under  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin  seems  like- 
wise shadowed  forth  in  the  "Legend  of  St.  Adrian," 
on  4th  March  (App.  No.  viii.)  He  is  said  to  have 
airived  "ad  orientales  Scocie  partes  que  tunc  a 
"Pictis  ocGupabantur,"  and  to  have  landed  there 
with  6606  confessors,  clei^,  and  people.  These 
men,  with  their  bishop  Adrian,  the  Fictish  kingdom 
being  destroyed,  dilati  regno  Pictorum,  did  many 
Qgns,  bat  afterwards  desired  to  have  a  residence  on 
the  Isle  of  May.  The  Danes,  who  then  devastated 
the  whole  of  Britain,  came  to  the  island,  and  there 
slew  them.  Their  martyrdom  is  said  to  have  taken 
place  in  the  year  875.  It  will  be  observed  that 
they  are  here  said  to  have  settled  in  the  eaat  part  of 
Scotland,  opposite  to  the  Isle  of  May— that  is,  in 
Fife, — ^while  the  Ficta  still  occupied  it ;  that  the 
Pictish  kingdom  is  then  said  to  have  been  de- 
stroyed ;  and  that  their  martyrdom  took  place  in 
875,  thirty  years  after  the  Scottish  conquest  under 
Kenneth  Mac  Alpin.  Their  arrival  was  therefore 
almost  coincident  with  the  Scottish  conquest ;  and 
ihe  hrge  number  said  to  have  come — not  the  modest 
21  who  arrived  with  Regulus,  but  6606  confessors, 
clergy,  and  people — shows   that  the    traditionary 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


history  vas  really  one  of  an  inTaEdon,  and  leads  to 
the  suspicion  at  once  that  it  was  in  teaUty  a  part  of 
the  Scottish  occupation  of  the  Pictiah  kingdom. 
That  they  were  Scots  appears  &om  this,  that  the 
year  876,  when  they  are  said  to  have  be^  shun 
by  the  Danes,  falls  in  the  reign  of  Constantin,  sod 
of  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  in  his  fourteenth  year ;  and 
this  year  the  "  Pictish  CSiTOnicle"  records  a  battle 
between  the  Danes  and  the  Scots,  and  adds  that 
not  long  after  it  occisi  sunt  Scoti  co  Achcodilam, 
which  seems  to  refer  to  this  very  slaughter. 
The  "Pictish  Chronicle"  likewise  records  that 
Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  in  his  seventh  year,  transferred 
the  relics  of  St.  Columba  to  a  churdi  which  he  had 
built  We  learn  from  the  "  Irish  Annals  "  that  these 
relics  had  been  removed  to  Ireland  in  the  year  849, 
by  the  Abbot  of  lona.  They  must  now  have  been 
brought  from  thence  ;  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  the 
church  which  Kenneth  had  built  was  that  of  Dnn- 
keld.  During  the  first  four  reigns  of  the  house 
of  Kenneth,  when  the  kings  were  termed  Reges 
Pictorum,  Dunkeld  seems  to  have  possessed  the 
primacy,  as  in  865  the  "Irish  Annals"  record  the 
death  of  "  Tiiathal  mac  Aitguso  primus  Episco- 
"  pus  Portrenn  7  Abbas  Duincaillenn ;"  but  when, 
after  the  expulsion  of  Eocha  and  Grig,  the  suc- 
cession was  firmly  established  in  the  main  line  of 
the  descendants  of  Kenneth,  and  t^eir  kings  came 
to  be  called  Righ  Alhan  and  Reges  Scotorum, 
a  new  change  took  place  in  the  ecclesiastical  re-

lationa  of  the  country.  In  the  reign  of  Constantin 
Mac  Aed,  the  "  Pictish  Chronicle"  tells  ua  that  "  Con- 
"  Btantinos  rex,  et  Cellachns  episcopus,  leges  discip- 
"  linasque  Mei,  atque  jura  ecclesianini  evangeli- 
"  ommqne,  pariter  cum  Scottis  in  colle  CreduUtatis 
"  prope  r^ali  civitate  Scoan  devovenmt  custodiri." 
We  are  nov  on  historic  ground.  Cellach  was  un- 
doabtedly  Bishop  of  St  AndrewB,  and  the  scene  of 
tiuB  event  was  Scone,  the  capital  of  the  kingdom. 
On  comparing  the  language  of  this  passage  with 
the  passage  previously  quoted  fiitim  the  same  chro- 
nicle, giving  the  cause  of  the  overthrow  of  the 
Ficts,  the  contrast  between  the  two  is  very  signi- 
ficant. In  the  one,  the  Picti  in  jure  equitatia 
aUis,  that  is,  the  Scottish  clergy,  equiparari 
twluerutU :  and  in  the  other,  the  king  and  the 
Bishop  of  St  Andrews  vowed  to  preserve  Ike  laws 
and  discipline  of  the  feith,  pariter  cum,  Scottis, — 
the  thing  that  the  Plots  would  not  do.  From  this 
time  the  church  of  St  Andrews  became  the  head 
of  the  Scottish  Church,  its  bishops  were  termed 
^pacop  AtboM  or  ^nscopi  Albanie,  and  it  became 
thoroughly  identified  with  the  Scottish  kingdom 
and  Scottish  people. 

Hie  legends  of  the  saints  above  quoted  are  not 
referred  to  as  documents  of  historic  authority,  but 
as  shadowing  forth  ecclesiastical  legends  in  har- 
mony with  the  facts  indicated  by  the  chronicles  and 
annalists.  This  much  seems  certain,  that  the  Colum- 
ban  Church  remained  the  Church  of  the  Pictish

and  71 7  it  was  superseded  by  a  church  of  a  different 
character,  and  her  monaatic  dei^  driven  out,  while 
Becular  clergy  of  a  different  race  replaced  them ; 
that  the  kingdom,  which  had  venerated  St.  Columbs 
as  its  apostle,  was  placed  under  the  patronage  of  St. 
Peter,  and  that  the  great  power  acquired  twenty 
years  later  by  Angus,  son  of  Fei^s,  was  accom- 
panied l^  the  foundation,  in  the  year  736,  of  the 
church  of  St.  Andrews,  and  the  general  adoption  of 
St.  Andrew  as  the  patron  saint  of  the  kingdom; 
that  a  century  later  the  establishment  of  a  king 
of  the  Scottish  race  on  the  Pictish  throne  was 
accompanied  by  the  return  of  the  Scottish  clergy; 
and  that  the  Scottish  Church  again  acquired  the 
supremacy  in  the  reign  of  Constantin,  und^  the 
pnmacy  of  St  Andrews  and  its  bishop.  This 
Chorch  now  represented  in  a  peculiar  manner  the 
Scottish  population,  and  was  intimately  connected 
and  closely  allied  with  the  Scottish  royal  house 
that  occupied  the  throne.  The  territory  forming 
the  diocese  of  St  Andrews  would  almost  seem  to 
point  out  the  Umits  of  the  Scottish  population  and 
the  districts  actually  occupied  by  them  as  a  people. 
Nordi  of  the  Firth  of  Forth  it  comprised  the  whole 
of  Fife,  Kinross,  and  Gowrie — what  may  be  called

Prior  to  the  reign  of  Alexander  ihe  First,  the  c!ontroT«ny 
question  of  the  independence  of  the  kingdom  of '"'^^^''°^" 
Scotland,  or  of  its  subjection  to  the  king  of  England 
as  its  Lord  Paramount,  bad  not  become  the  subject 
of  discussion  between  the  two  coimtries.  This 
controversy  first  arose  under  the  Notmui  kings  of 
England,  It  is  trae  that,  in  the  year  1072,  King 
William  the  Conqueror  entered  Scotland  with  an 
army,  penetrated  as  far  as  Abemethy  on  the  Tay, 
and  there  received  the  homage  of  King  Malcolm 
Canmore.  It  is  true  that  his  Bon  William  Kufoa 
placed  two  of  the  sons  of  Malcolm,  first  Duncan, 
and  afterwards  Edgar,  by  force  of  arms  upon  the 
throne  of  Scotland.  It  is  likewise  true  that  several 
of  the  kings  of  the  Scots  of  the  line  of  Kenneth 
Mac  Alpin  are  alleged  to  have  done  homage  to  the 
.Anglo-Saxon  kings  of  England,  as  Bretwaldas  of 
Britain  ;  but  though  the&e  facts  were  founded  on  in

appear  untainted  by  the  introduction  of  fictitious 
matter  through  the  exigencies  of  this  c<mtrover8y. 
They  seem  to  have  preserved  genuine  traditions  of 
the  early  history  of  the  country.  When  the  contro- 
versy first  arose  it  regarded  more  the  independence 
of  the  Scottish  Church  than  that  of  the  Scottish 
nation,  and  was  called  forth  by  the  elections  of  the 
bishops  of  St  Andrews.  In  the  year  1072,  the 
flame  year  in  which  William  the  Conqueror  invaded 
Scotland,  a  compact  was  formed  by  the  Archbishop 
of  Canterbury  and  the  Archbishop  of  Tork,  by 
which  all  Britain  north  of  the  Hnmber  was  given 
to  the  jurisdiction  of  the  latter.  The  Archbishop  of 
York  claimed  the  right  of  consecrating  the  Bishop 
of  St.  Andrews  as  his  sufiragan,  which  was  related 
by  Alexander  the  First,  who  maintained  that  the 
Bishop  of  St  Andrews,  as  the  Episcoptis  Albania, 
was  the  head  of  the  Scottish  Church,  and  that  the 
Scottish  Church  was  independent  It  is  unneces- 
sary for  our  purpose  to  follow  the  details  of  this 
controversy ;  suffice  it  to  say,  that  Robert,  Prior  of 
Scone,  who  had  been  elected  during  the  reign  of 
Alexander  the  Firat>  but  remained  unconsecrated, 
was,  in  the  reign  of  David  the  First,  consecrated  by 
Thuratan,  Archbishop  of  York,  in  the  year  1138,

under  reservation  of  the  claim  of  the  See  of  York, 
and  the  right  of  the  See  of  St  Andrews  ;  and  that 
Arnold,  the  next  bishop,  was  consecrated  by  William, 
Bishop  of  Murray,  as  the  Pope's  legate  in  the  pre- 
sence of  the  king,  and  .of  the  biahopa^  abbots,  and 
princes  of  the  land.  He  was  succeeded  hy  ItichArd, 
chaplain  to  King  Malcolm  the  Fourth,  who  was 
elected  in  1163,  and  consecrated  in  1165,  "apud 
"  Sanctum  Andreiam  in  Scotia,  ab  Episcopis  ejusdem 
"  teirw."  Thia  controversy  regarding  the  indepen- 
dence of  the  Scottish  Church,  and  the  independence 
of  the  See  of  St  Andrews  aa  its  head,  seemed  to  in- 
volve that  of  t^e  Scottish  nation  likewise  ;  and  ve 
can  well  believe  that  the  discussion  called  forth  tibe 
highest  pretenaioDfi  to  antiquity  on  behalf  both  oi 
the  Church  and  of  the  people.  It  is  in  the  year 
1165,  the  year  of  ihe  consecration  of  Richard, 
Bishop  of  St  Andrem,  by  the  bishops  of  the  land, 
and  the  year  in  which  William  the  Lion  commenced 
his  reign,  that  the  first  of  the  series  of  Latin  lists 
purporting  to  contain  the  early  history  of  Scotland 
appeared.  Th^consistof  the  Chrcmicle,  the  Descrip- 
tion of  Scotland,  and  the  "  Legend  of  St.  Andrew,"

whidi  the  chronicles  had  now  asaamed  was  simply 
this, — the  foundation  of  St  Andrews  by  Angus, 
the  son  of  Fergus,  king  of  the  Picts,  in  the  eighth 
century,  is  transferred  back  to  the  fourth  century, 
and  connected  with  tiie  removal  of  the  relics  from 
Constantinople  to  Patras  in  the  reign  of  Constan-

tine  the  Great  The  interval  between  the  death  of 
Alpin,  the  last  Scottish  king  of  Dalriada,  and  the  ac- 
cession of  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  the  first  Scottish  king 
who  ruled  over  the  Picts,  extending  to  a  century 
of  Pictish  rule  in  Dalriada,  and  during  which  time 
the  foundation  of  St.  Andrews  reaUy  took  place,  is 
suppressed,  and  Alpin  is  made  the  immediate  pre- 
decessor of  Keuueth,  and  identified  with  his  father, 
so  as  to  unite  the  Scottish  kingdom  of  Daliiada 
with  the  subsequent  Scottish  kingdom  of  Kenneth  ; 
fmd,  finally,  the  chain  of  connexion  between  them 
is  completed  by  a  genealogy  of  William  the 
Lyon,  in  which  his  pedigree  is  taken  through 
Kenneth  Mac  Alpin  and  the  Scottish  kings  of  Dal- 
riada to  Ireland  through  a  long  catalogue  of  Irish 
names.  By  this  device,  the  monarchy  of  Scotland 
appears  as  a  continuous  Scottish  kingdom  as  &r 
back  as  the  beginning  of  the  sixth  century,  while 
the  foundation  of  St.  Andrews  is  removed  to  a 
period  two  centuries  earlier.  The  artificial  nature 
of  this  junction  of  separate  lists  is  apparent  from 
the  egression  of  primus  rex  Scottorum  being 
connected  with  the  name  of  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin. 
This  was  true,  when  he  was  considered  as  the  suc- 
cessor of  the  old  Pictish  kings, — and  though  himself 
of  the  race  of  the  Scots,  removed  by  a  century  from 
the  last  Scottish  king  of  Dalriada, — but  it  was  quite 
inconsistent  with  the  supposition  that  he  was  the 
immediate  suecessor  of  the  Dalriadic  Scota  This 
difficulty  appears  to  have  struck  the  compilers  of 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


the  salsequent  chronicleei,  and  ihej  try  to  evade  it 
in  different  ways.  In  the  prose  chronicle  attached 
to  the  "  Cronicon  Elegiacum  "  itis  said,  "  late  voca- 
"  tos  eat  rex  primus,  non  quia  fiiit,  sed  quia  primus 
"  le^es  Scotianas  instituit,  qnas  vacant  leges  Mac- 
"  alpin,"  And  in  a  later  chronicle,  in  aimilar  form, 
it  is  said  of  tiie  Scottish  kings  of  DaMada,  with  a 
view  to  explain  the  apparent  anomaly,  "  Isti  omnes 
"  fere  interfecti  sunt  sed  nee  fuerunt  reges  quia  non 
"  dominabantur  perelectionem  nequeper  sanguinem 
"  sed  per  prodicionem." 

In  l^e  year  1174  William  the  Lyon  was  made 
prisons  by  Henry,  king  of  England,  and  carried 
over  to  Normandy.  The  Scots  purchased  hia  liberty 
by  snrrendering  the  independency  of  the  nation ; 
and  with  the  consent  of  the  Scottish  barons  and 
clergy,  William  became  the  liegeman  of  Heniy  for 
Scotland  and  all  his  other  territories,  and  in  1176 
the  CSiurch  of  Scotland  was  required  to  yield  obe- 
dience to  the  English  Church.  In  1189  Henry, 
king  of  England,  died,  and  his  successor  Blchard 
agreed  to  renounce  his  claim  to  t^e  dependence  of 
Scotland  for  a  sum  of  money.  During  this  period 
the  qnestdon  of  the  right  of  England  to  supremacy 
over  Scotland  must  have  been  the  subject  of  dis- 
cusdon.  In  tiie  whole  of  this  discussion,  in  which 
both  parties  referred  to  the  early  legendary  histoiy 
of  their  respective  countries,  as  if  they  possessed 
historic  authority,  great  nse  was  made  by  England 
of  the  Welsh  tale,  that  Brutus  was  the  first  colonist

of  the  country,  aDd  had  divided  it  among  his  three 
BODS,  Locrinus,  Camber,  and  Albauactus.  The 
forcible  aigument  derived  &om  it  was  that  the  kings 
of  Eng^d  represented  the  eldest  bod,  Locrinus,  and 
that  the  early  kings  of  Scotland,  representing  the 
yonnger  son,  Albanactus,  must  have  been  in  subjec- 
tion to  them.  This  &bl^  in  some  shape  or  another, 
had  hitherto  been  accepted  by  the  Scotch,  as  we  find 
it  in  the  "  Albanic  Duan,"  and  it  is  likewise  alluded 
to  in  the  "  Metrical  Prophecy"  in  the  Colbertine  ms.  ; 
but  as  the  controversy  grew  hotter,  its  bearing  upon 
the  discussion  became  more  distasteful  to  the 
pleaders  of  Ihe  Scottish  side.  It  was  felt,  as  the 
"  Metrical  Prophecy"  expresses  it, — 

"  OaudiduB  Alb&niu,  patriots  canw  ruino, 
Tnulitione  sua  Scotia  legna  premet ;" 

and  it  was  resolved,  apparently,  to  get  quit  of  it 
altogether.  Accordingly,  the  "  Cronica  Brevis," 
which  bears  to  be  compiled  in  the  year  1187,  com- 
mences with  this  statement,  "  Smnma  annorum  pri- 
"  morum  Scotoxum,  qui  ante  Pictos  r^naverunt 
"  cclx.  annis  et  iij  mensibus."  In  the  "  Albanic 
"  Duan,"  AlbanuB  had  first  settled  in  Scotland,  and 
was  succeeded  by  the  seventy  kings  of  the  Picts, 
who  in  their  turn  were  succeeded  by  Kenneth  Mac 
Alpin,  the  first  of  the  Scots.  The  tradition  of 
Albanus  or  Albanactus  was  now  put  aside  altogether, 
and  a  Scottish  kingdom  was  placed  before  the  Picts. 
They  are  said  to  have  lasted  for  260  years,  which  is 
as  nearly  as  possible  the  duration  of  the  Scottish 


iiyGoot^lc 


kingdom  of  Dalrlada,  omitting  the  fictitious  Idngs 
introduced ;  and  when  we  examine  the  list  of  kings 
in  this  chronicle,  we  find  that  it  commences  with 
the  kings  of  Dahiads,  from  Fergus,  son  of  Erth,  to 
Alpiu,  the  last  king  of  them.  Then  follows  the  ex- 
pression, "  et  tunc  trauslatum  est  regnum  Scotorum 
"  in  T^num  Pictorum ;"  and  this  is  succeeded  by 
the  Pictiah  kings  from  Cruithne,  t^e  eponymus 
of  the  nation,  to  Drust,  Bon  of  Ferat,  their  last  king, 
who  was  followed  by  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin.  In  this 
form  of  the  chronicle,  the  Scottish  kings  are  re- 
moved from  thffli  position  as  the  immediate  pre- 
decessors of  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  and  placed  bodily 
before  the  kings  of  the  Picts,  so  as  to  give  them  a 
high  antiquity,  and  make  the  Scottish  kingdom 
commence  443  years  before  the  Incarnation. 

In  the  year  1251,  Alexander  tiie  Third  did  homage 
to  the  king  of  England  for  his  English  possessions. 
Henry  denumded  homage  also  for  the  kingdom  of 
Scotland,  "  piout  evidenter  in  cronicis  locis  multis 
"  scribitar;"  but  Alexander  excused  himself  on  the 
ground  that  he  could  not  take  a  step  so  important 
without  the  knowledge  and  approbation  of  his  Par- 
liament If  the  King  of  England  referred  to  chro- 
nicles, similar  documents  were  soon  provided  in 
Scotland  to  meet  them,  aud  we  find  one  of  them  in 
the  chronicle  tiranscribed  from  the  register  of  the 
priory  of  St.  Andrews.  It  bears  to  have  been  com- 
piled in  the  year  1251.  It  commences  with  the 
names  of  the  kings  who  first  reigned  in  Scotland ; 


jdovGoot^lc 


clxxu  PEEFACE. 

and  these  are  do  other  than  the  twenty-tJiree  kings 
of  Dalriada,  from  Fergus  Mac  Erth  to  Alpin.  Then 
occurs  the  expression,  "  et  tunc  translatum  est 
"  regniun  Scotoram  in  reguum  Pictoram-"  Then 
follow  the  sixty  kings  of  the  Picts,  with  ttie  title 
Nomina  Regum  Pictorum,  and  after  them  se- 
quuntur  nomina  regum  Scotorum  commencing 
with  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  in  whose  reign  we  are 
again  in  historic  ground.  It  is  remarkable  that  in 
this  chronicle,  by  the  addition  of  a  hundred  years  to 
the  period  said  to  have  elapsed  from  the  time  of 
Kemiet^  Mac  Alpin,  it  is  removed  back  one  century, 
so  as  to  meet  the  date  when  the  Scottish  kingdom 
of  Dalriada,  in  point  of  act,  came  to  an  end. 

In  1269,  the  question  of  the  independence  of  the 
Scottish  Church  was  again  raised,  by  an  attempt  on 
the  part  of  the  King  of  England  to  levy  the  tenths 
of  the  benefices  in  Scotland;  and  if  the  prose 
chronicle  attached  to  the  "  Oconicon  Ele^Acum"  in 
the  copy  inserted  in  the  "Chronicle  of  Melrose" 
has  been  rightly  assigned  to  the  year  12*70,  we  have 
the  theory  again  asserted  that  the  Scottish  kings 
of  Dalriada  were  the  immediate  predecessors  of 
Kenneth  Mac  Alpin ;  and  we  find  l^e  later  kings  of 
Dalriada  brought  down  a  hundred  years  after  their 
true  date,  and  a  few  fictitious  kings  added  to  suit 
this  theory. 

In  the  year  1278,  in  the  English  Parliament, 
Alexander  the  Third  of  Scotiand  swore  fealty  to 
Edward  the  First  of  England  in  general  terma 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


Edward  accepted  it,  "  aalvo  jure  et  clameo,  de 
"  regno  Scotise,  cum  inde  loqui  voluerint."  Every 
act  of  homage  on  the  part  of  Scottish  kings 
seems  to  have  revived  t^e  coutroversy  and  given 
birth  to  a  new  chionicle ;  and  this  was  foUowed 
in  1280  by  a  still  more  elaborate  edition  of 
the  Scottish  veimon  of  the  story.  It  is  contained 
in  the  chronicle  quoted  in  the  "  Scalachronica," 
and  bearing  to  be  compiled  in  this  year.  The  tale 
is  here  much  more  circunutantially  told.  We  have 
the  origin  of  the  Scots,  their  wanderings  from 
Egypt  to  Spain,  from  thence  to  Ireland,  and  from 
Ireland  to  Scotland,  where  they  settled  tmder 
Fergus  son  of  Ferthard  Then  follows  the  statement 
that  Feigns,  son  of  Ferthard,  was  the  first  king  of 
Scotland,  and  he  is  followed  by  the  Scottish  kings 
of  Dalriada,  ending  with  Alpiu,  who  is  said  to  have 
befoi  the  last  of  the  Scots  who  reigned  immediately 
before  the  Rets,  and  that  the  duration  of  their  reign 
before  the  Picts  was  305  years.  We  have  then  the 
tale  of  t^e  arrival  of  the  Picts,  followed  by  the  list 
of  their  kings,  down  to  Drust,  the  son  of  Ferat, 
the  last  of  them.  We  have  then  the  introduction  of 
a  new  colony  of  Scots  from  Ireland,  and  the  destruc- 
tion of  the  king  and  nobles  of  the  Picts  by  them 
by  stratagem,  and  the  statement  of  the  recommence- 
ment of  the  reign  of  the  kingdom  of  t^e  Scots  after 
the  failure  of  the  kingdom  of  the  Picts,  which 
kingdom  of  the  Scots  had  commenced  before  the 
Picts,   443  years  before   the    Incarnation.     Then 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


follows  the  Btatcment  that  the  Picts,  having  been 
destroyed  in  this  manner,  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin  reigned 
over  the  Scots,  and  was  the  first  Scottish  king  after 
the  Ficts.  This  chronicle  advances  the  fable  one 
step  further,  for  it  substitutes  for  Fergus  Mac  Erch, 
Fergus  son  of  Ferdiard,  who  appears  in  the  genealogy 
of  William  the  Lyon  as  his  remote  ancestor,  and 
thus  suits  better  the  distant  period  in  which  he  is 
placed. 

There  were  thus  two  forms  of  the  Scottish 
chronicle :  one  which  seems  to  have  originated  in 
the  discusaion  regarding  the  independence  of  the 
Church,  in  which  the  Scottish  kings  of  DaMada,  who 
reigned  historically  &om  498  to  741,  are  extended 
over  the  interval  of  a  hundred  years,  betwerai  their 
last  king  and  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  by  the  interpola- 
tion of  fictitious  kings,  so  as  to  bring  the  last  king  of 
the  earher  Scottish  kingdom  in  direct  contact  with 
the  first  king  of  what  was  the  real  commencemeDt 
of  the  dynasty  of  the  Scottish  monarchs  ;  while  the 
foundation  of  St  Andrews  by  Angus  MacFergus,king 
of  the  Picts,  which  really  took  place  in  the  interval 
between  the  two  Scottish  kingdoms,  is  removed  bade 
to  an  early  period,  so  as  to  precede  the  first  of  them. 
The  second  form  of  the  chronicle  seems  to  have  been 
produced  by  the  exigencies  of  the  controversy  with 
England  regarding  the  independence  of  the  Scottish 
kingdom.  In  this  form  of  the  fable,  the  Scottaah  ■ 
kings  of  Dalriada  are  removed  back  to  a  distant 
period,  so  as  to  place  the  commencement  of  the 


jdovGoot^lc 


kingdom  in  the  year  443  before  the 
Christian  era.  They  are  followed  by  the  whole 
list  of  the  FictLah  kings,  and  the  last  of  these  is  suc- 
ceeded by  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  the  foimder  of  the 
later  Scottish  kingdom. 

In  1290,  Edward  king  of  England  produced  a 
vast  body  of  extracts  from  chronicles  collected  from 
the  monasteries  in  England ;  but  no  further  statement 
appears  on  the  Scottish  side  till  the  year  1301,  when 
the  controversy  again  broke  out  in  a  still  more 
formal  shape,  in  consequence  of  the  interposition  of 
the  Pope,  who  addressed  a  letter  to  the  king  of 
England,  which  was  followed  by  his  reply,  fmd 
I^  two  documents  emanating  from  the  Scotch.  In 
these  the  question  was  fiiUy  discussed,  according  to 
the  aspect  in  which  it  was  viewed  on  botii  sides,  and 
in  the  Scotch  documents  the  statement  now  first 
appears,  that  the  Scotch  were  converted  to  Christi- 
anity by  the  cleigy  who  introduced  the  relics  of  St. 
Andrew,  and  that  they  had  been  converted  400 
years  before  the  conversion  of  the  Angles. 

The  Pope  again  interposed  in  the  year  1317,  after 
Robert  the  Bruce  had  firmly  established  himself  on 
the  Scottish  throne  ;  but  this  time  the  intervention 
was  on  the  side  of  the  English,  and  had  no  other 
effect  than  to  draw  forth  from  tlie  high-spirited  king 
of  the  Scotch  on  aaseridon  of  his  rights  as  an  inde- 
pendent monarch ;  but  the  date  of  this  event  coin' 
cides  witii  that  of  the  next  chronicle,  which  was 
compiled  in  the  same  year.    The  lists  of  the  kings 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


of  &iB  chronicle  is  obviouBly  taken  £rom  the  same 
source  as  that  of  the  "Chronicle  of  St  Andrews," 
but  the  order  of  the  different  groups  of  kings  is  iu- 
rerted.  It  commences  with  the  kings  of  the  Picta, 
then  follows  the  Scottish  kings  of  Dalriada,  who 
are  immediately  succeeded  by  the  kings  of  the 
later  Scottish  kingdom,  commencing  with  Kenneth 
Mac  Alpin.  That  this  was  an  artificial  alteration  of 
the  one  series  of  chronicles,  with  a  view  to  bring 
them  into  conformity  with  the  other,  is  apparent 
enough,  because,  while  the  Scottish  kings  of  Dal- 
riada are  placed  aft^  the  Pictish  kings,  the  ex- 
pression at  the  end  of  the  former  is  retained,  "  et 
"  tunc  tran^tum  est  r^nnm  Scotomm  in  regnum 
"  Pictorum," — an  expression  only  applicable  to  a 
chronicle  in  which  the  Scottish  kings  of  Daltiada 
precede  the  Pictish  kinga 

This  chronicle  was  followed  three  years  after 
(1320)  by  the  celebrated  letter  of  the  Scottish 
barons  to  the  Pope,  in  which  they  vindicate  the 
independence  of  Scotland.  Id  this  letter  the 
statement  is  repeated,  that  the  Scots  were  con- 
verted to  Christianity  by  St.  Andrew;  and  the 
statement  is  added,  that  from  the  arrival  of  the 
Scots  in  Britain,  113  kinga  had  reigned  in  the 
kingdom  of  Scothmd. 
Twofoina  Snch  was  the  shape  which  the  chronicles  had 
b^ordiuL  assumed  when  John  of  Fordnn  compiled  his 
history.  His  object  appears  to  have  been  to 
place  the  antiquity  and  continuity  of  the  Scottish 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


kingdom  upon  a  firmer  basis,  by  interweaving  the 
statements  of  these  previous  chronicles  into  one 
harmonious  whole,  and  interpolating  matter  of  his 
own  invention  where  it  became  necessary,  in  order 
to  compact  the  somewhat  discordant  materials 
Into  one  consistent  narrative.  The  leading  feature 
of  his  scheme  of  history  is  the  combination  of 
the  two  series  of  chronicles  into  one  consistent 
system.  He  adopts  the  view  of  the  one  set  of 
chronicles,  that  the  Scottish  kings  of  Dalriada 
were  the  immediate  predecessors  of  Kenneth  Mac 
Alpin ;  but  not  content  with  extending  them  over 
die  century  which  really  intervened  between  the  . 
kingdom  of  the  Scots  of  Dalriada  and  that  of  Ken- 
neth Mac  Alpin,  by  the  inteipolatiou  of  supposititi- 
ous kings,  he  likewise  extends  them  a  century  furdier 
back,  by  a  similar  process  of  interpolation,  so  as  to 
make  the  kingdom  commence  under  Fergus  Mac 
Erch,  in  the  year  403,  instead  of  the  subsequent 
century ;  but  while  he  adopts  the  one  series  of 
chronicles  in  this  respect,  he  likewise  gives  effect  to 
the  scheme  of  the  other,  by  placing  an  older  Scottish 
kingdom  of  Scotland,  which  commenced  under 
Fergus,  son  of  Ferthard,  443  yeare  before  the  Chris- 
tian fflra.  Instead,  however,  of  terminating  this 
older  kingdom  with  the  commencement  of  the  long 
line  of  Pietiah  monarchs,  he  continues  it  to  the  year 
360,  when  he  supposes  this  older  settlement  of  Scots 
to  have  terminated,  Emd  the  Scottish  people  to  have 
been  expelled  out  of  the  country, — a  part  going  to 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


Ireland  and  part  to  Norway.  This  ia  immediately 
followed  by  the  arrival  of  the  r^cs  of  St  Andrew, 
and  the  foundation  of  St  Andrews.  The  Scots  are 
then  made  to  return  under  Fergus  Mac  Ereh,  forty- 
three  years  after  their  expulsion.  WhUe,  however,  he 
follows  the  earlier  chronicles  in  placing  the  founda- 
tion of  St  Andrews  at  that  early  period,  he  does 
not  adopt  the  statement  that  the  Scots  were  then 
converted  to  Christianity  ;  but  finding  it  likewise 
stated  that  this  conversion  took  place  400  years 
before  that  of  the  Angles,  he  applies  that  to  the 
date  of  the  conversion  of  the  Saxons  in  603,  and 
thus  brings  out  that  the  Scots  were  converted  to 
Christianity  in  the  year  203.  Having  thus  effected 
his  twofold  object  of  assigning  a  great  antiquity  to 
the  Scottish  kingdom,  and  of  bringing  it  down  so  as 
to  place  the  last  king  of  Dalriada  in  immediate  con- 
tact with  the  first  king  of  the  later  Scottish  king- 
dom, Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  his  next  object  is  to  show 
that  the  Scots  whom  Kenneth  led  into  the  kingdom 
of  the  Picts  had  been  brought  by  him  out  of  Dal- 
riada,  and  were  the  same  Scots  which  had  formed 
the  Dalriadic  kingdom.  He  adopts  as  the  basis  of 
his  narrative  the  same  statement  as  that  which  is 
contained  in  the  "  Chronide  of  Huntingdon,"  and  a 
comparison  of  that  chronicle  with  the  text  of  For- 
don  will  show  how  ingeniously  he  interpolates  the 
matter  necessary  to  adapt  bis  materials  to  the 
scheme  of  his  history.

It  is  needless  to  follow  further  this  gradual  deve- 
lopment of  the  Scottish  fable  till  it  reaches  the 
full-blown  romance  of  Hector  Boece.  But  it 
is  remarkable  how  thoroughly  it  is  connected 
throughout  with  St.  Andrews.  The  ecclesiastical 
fable  which  disowned  Columba  as  the  apostle  of  the 
Picts,  and  lona  as  his  chief  seat,  and  gave  an  ex- 
travagant antiquity  to  the  foundation  of  St  Andrew^ 
commenced  with  that  community.  The  pervendon  of 
the  true  history,  called  forth  by  the  exigencies  of  the 
controversy  with  England,  originated  more  or  less 
with  them ;  and  eveiy  exponent  of  the  Scottish  fable, 
as  it  assumed,  period  after  period,  larger  dimraisicms, 
was  connected  with  that  diocese,  until  at  last  John 
of  Forduu,  a  priest  of  the  diocese  of  St  Andrews,

undertook  the  taak  of  weaving  the  whole  into  a 
formal  hlstoTy  of  the  kingdom ;  but  while  his  nar- 
rative is  thus  dietorted,  Scots  made  to  assume 
undue  dimensionB,  both  in  antiquity  and  in  import- 
ance, and  a  ^stem  of  artificial  dates  appUed  to 
their  history,  yet  as  hia  narrative  conaists  of  frag- 
ments of  genuine  chronicles  woven  into  a  fictitious 
scheme  of  history,  tiiere  can  be  no  doubt  that  true 
events  are  often  narrated,  though  accompanied  by 
false  datea  When  John  of  Fordnn  narrates  that 
the  Scots  were  expelled  in  the  year  360  by 
Hongus,  son  of  Hurgust  king  of  the  Ficts ;  that 
this  was  immediately  followed  by  the  arrival  of  the 
relics  of  St  Andrew  and  the  foundation  of  St 
Andrews,  and  that  after  that  the  Scots  returned  and 
founded  a  new  Scottish  kingdom,  he  has  in  point  of 
fact  transplanted  the  true  events  of  the  century 
which  intervened  between  Alpin,  the  last  king  of 
Scottish  Dalriada,  and  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  the 
founder  of  the  later  Scottish  kingdom,  when  a  real 
Angus,  son  of  Fergus,  king  of  the  Ficts,  conquered 
the  Scots  of  Dalriada,  received  the  relics  of  St 
Andrew,  and  founded  St  Andrewa  '  That  Fordim 
has  in  reality  transplanted  the  events  of  this  century 
to  the  earlier  period  is  clear  from  this,  that  in  ih.e 
list  of  the  Fictish  kings  he  has  Oengus,  the  son  of 
Fergus,  in  his  proper  place,  and  seventy-nine  years 
prior  to  him,  Talargan  filius  Amfrud,  who  imme- 
diately preceded  the  Anglic  conquest  under  Oswy ; 
while  among  the  early  kings  be  interpolates  Hurgust

IX. 

From  the  preceding  sketch  it  wiU  be  seen  that 
the  old  Chronicles  and  Memorials  whidi  foim  the 
subject  of  this  collection  fall  into  two  groups,  first, 
those  writtai  in,  and  prior  to,  the  eleventh  century, 
which  present  the  Isuditioos  of  the  country  un- 
tainted by  the  bias  produced  by  the  subsequent 
controversy  regarding  the  civil  and  ecclesiastical 
independence  of  Scotland ;  and  secondly,  those 
which  have  been  changed  and  distorted  by  the 
pressure  of  the  exigencies  of  that  controv^sy,  and 
the  oldest  of  which  is  dated  in  1166. 

According  to  the  view  which  we  have  taken  of 
the  import  of  the  older  chronicles,  written  in,  and 
prior  to,  the  eleventh  century,  the  kingdom  of  the 
PictB,  comprising  the  territories  reaching  the  Firth  of 
Forth  to  Caithness,  and  &om  the  Eastern  Sea  to  the 
great  wind  and  water-sheer  dividing  the  eastern 
from  the  western  watersheds,  and  known  by  the 
name  of  Dramalban,  extended  from  the  fifth  cen- 
tury tin  the  middle  of  the  ninth  century,  whai  it 
was  superseded  by  the  later  kingdom  of  the  Scots, 
founded  by  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin.  The  smaller  Scot- 
tish kingdom  of  Dalriada,  restricted  within  the 
limits  of  the  modem  coimty  of  Argyle,  existed 
parallel  to  the  great  Pictish  monarchy,  from  the 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PREFACE.  clxxxiu 

year  488  to  ihs  middle  of  the  eighth  ceutuiy. 
Between  Alpin,  the  last  king  of  Scottiah  Dahiada, 
and  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  the  fiiet  king  of  the  later 
Scottish  kingdom,  they  place  an  interval  of  a  cen- 
toty,  daring  which  Dalriada  was  under  Hctish  rule ; 
and  Alpin,  the  last  king  of  Scottish  Dalriada,  was 
thus  a  different  person  from  Alpin  the  &ther  of 
Kenneth,  who  Uved  a  century  later. 

The  great  events  of  this  interval,  which  were 
affected  by  the  subsequent  controverE^  regarding 
the  independence  of  Scotland,  were  first  the  foun- 
dation of  St  Andrew  by  Angus,  son  of  Fe^us, 
king  of  t^e  Picts ;  and  secondly,  the  existence 
of  a  Fictish  kingdom  in  Dalriada,  between  the 
older  and  the  later  Scottish  kingdoms;  and  the 
chajige  caused  in  ike  later  chronicles  by  the  pressure 
of  the  controversy  regarding  the  independence  oi 
the  Church  was,  regarding  the  first  event,  its  trans- 
ference &om  its  true  date  to  the  fourth  century,  by 
attaching  the  legend  connected  with  the  arrival 
of  the  relics  of  St.  Andrew  into  Scotland  in  the 
eighth  century  to  the  earlier  legend  connected  with 
their  removal  &om  Constantiuople  in  the  fourth 
century^  so  aa  to  give  a  remote  antiquily  to  the 
church  of  St.  Andrews.  With  regard  to  the  other 
event  of  the  Fictish  rule  iu  Dalriada, — the  change 
produced  on  the  chronicles  by  the  controversy 
produced  regarding  the  independence  of  Scotland 
was  twofold,  and  led  both  to  its  suppression  and 
amplificataon.    In  order  to  preserve  the  continuity 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


of  the  Scottish  kingdom,  the  two  Alpins  were  iden- 
tified, and  the  Scottish  kingdom  of  Dalriada  was 
extended  over  the  intervening  century.  But  the 
neceaaity  of  giving  a  much  greater  antiquity  to  the 
settlement  of  the  Scots  in  tiie  country,  and  a  priority 
of  occupation  over  the  Picta,  led  to  the  Scottish 
kings  of  Daliiada  being  removed  back,  so  as  to 
place  them  entirely  before  the  Fictish  monarchy, 
and  to  give  them  a  settlement  in  Scotland  long 
prior  to  the  Christian  era.  In  this  form  of  the  fable 
the  truth  was  preserved,  that  a  period  of  Fictish 
rule  did  intervene  between  the  two  Scottish  king- 
dome,  although  it  was  extended  to  the  whole  dura- 
tion of  the  Fictish  monarchy,  instead  of  being 
limited  to  the  century  of  Fictish  occnpation  in 
Dalriada.  These  two  forms  of  the  Scottish  faUe 
were  finally  combined  in  the  scheme  of  history  pro- 
pounded by  John  of  Fordun. 

Chalmers,  in  his  "  Caledonia,"  early  perceived  an 
inconsistency  between  the  legendary  events  of  the 
life  of  Alpin,  the  father  of  Kenneth,  with  the  facts 
recorded  in  the  chronicles  of  Alpin,  the  last  king  of 
Scottish  Dalriada ;  for  the  former  is  said  to  have 
attacked  the  Fictish  kingdom,  to  have  fought  his 
batties  in  the  east  of  Scotland,  and  to  have  been 
defeated  and  slain  at  Fitelpin,  said  to  be  a  corrup- 
tion of  Basalpin,  or  the  death  of  Alpin,  in  the 
Carse  of  Qowrie,  while  all  the  chronicles  state  that 
the  latter  "  occisus  est  in  Gallowethia  postquam  earn 
"  penitus  deatruxit  et  devastavit"    Chalmers  refers,

in  corroboration  of  the  troth  of  this  statement,  to  a 
charter  by  William  the  Lyon  to  a  town  of  Ayr, 
which  implies  t^t  a  place  called  Laicht  Alpin 
was  in  the  border  between  Ayrshire  and  Galloway ; 
and  he  identifies  it  with  an  old  ruin  called  Laicht 
CasUe,  on  the  bank  of  Loch  Doon,  which  separates 
the  connty  of  Aye  &om  that  of  Kirkcudbnght  The 
identification,  however,  is  wron^  for  the  name  of 
Laicht  Alpin  really  beloi^  to  Uie  farms  of  Meikle 
and  Little  Laicht,  on  the  eastern  sliore  of  Loch 
Ryan,  which  are  within  the  county  of  Wigton,  but 
adjoin  that  of  Ayr,  and  on  tiie  very  line  of  separation 
between  the  two  connti^  is  a  large  upright  pillar- 
stone,  to  which  the  nam&  of  Laicht  Alpin,  or  the 
monument  or  grave  of  Alpin,  is  actually  appropriated. 
There  can  be  little  doubt  that  a  fragment  of  true 
faistoty  has  been  preserved  in  the  chronicle,  which  re- 
lates that  he  was  slain  by  a  man  who  lay  in  wait  for 
him  in  a  wood  overhanging  the  entrance  to  the  ford 
of  a  river  as  he  was  riding  through  it  (Ko.  xxxii.) 
The  fiurm  of  Laicht  is,  in  point  of  fact,  on  grotmd 
lising  up  to  the  north  from  the  bank  of  a  stream 
falling  into  Loch  Byan.  It  seems  strange  that 
Alpin,  the  last  Scottish  king  of  Dahiada,  should 
have  borne  a  peculiarly  Fictish  name,  and  that, 
when  driven  out  of  Dalriada,  he  should  have  seized 
on  the  province  of  Galloway,  which  had  a  Pictish 
population.  We  have  his  designation,  even  in  the 
oldest  lists,  as  the  son  of  Echach,  which  was  a&  pecu- 
liarly a  Scottish  name.    It  raises  the  presumption 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


clxixvi  PREFACK 

that,  if  his  father  was  a  Scot,  his  modier  must  have 
been  Fictish,  and  that  he  had  been  adopted  into  her 
tribe.  The  case  is  exactly  analogous  to  that  of  Tal- 
lorgan  Mac  Ainfrid,  whose  father  was  a  brother  of 
Obvtj,  king  of  the  Angles,  but  whose  mother  was 
Fictish,  through  whom  he  had  a  Hctish  name,  and 
finally  succeeded  to  the  Fictish  throne.  The  "  Irish 
"  Ajmals"  know  of  but  one  Alpin,  i.e.,  the  Alpin  who 
succeeded  Drust  as  king  of  the  Ficts  in  726,  and 
was  driven  out,  and  his  territories  taken  from  him, 
by  Angus,  son  of  Fe]^;uB,  king  of  t^e  Ficts,  in  V28. 
Neither  the  "  Irish  Annals"  nor  the  "  Fictish  Chro- 
"  nicle  "  give  the  name  of  his  father,  which  raises  a 
suspicion  that  he  was  an  interloper ;  and  it  is  hardly 
possible  to  suppose  that  there  should  have  been  an 
Alpin  king  of  the  Ficts  from  726  to  728,  who  was 
expelled,  and  his  territories  taken  from  him,  by 
Angus,  son  of  Fergus,  king  of  the  Ficts,  and  whose 
existence  is  known  to  the  "  Irish  Annals,"  and  that 
there  should  have  been  some  years  afterwards  a 
different  person  appearing  as  king  of  Scottish  Dal- 
riada,  who  also  bore  the  Fictish  name  of  Alpin,  and 
was  expelled  from  Scottish  territories  by  the  same 
Angus,  but  whose  separate  existence  was  unknown 
to  the  "  Irish  Annals."  On  the  assumption  that  they 
were  the  same  person,  and  that  there  was  but  one 
Alpin,  his  history  becomes  clear  and  consistent. 
The  son  of  the  Scottish  king  Echach,  by  a  Fictish 
princess,  he  became  king  of  lihe  Ficts  in  726, 1^  tiie 
ejection  of  his  predecessor,  Brust,  while  his  brother 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PEEFACE.  clxxxvii 

Echaid  became  king  of  Dalriada  by  the  ejection  of 
Dungal ;  and  probably  the  succession  of  the  two 
brotheis  to  their  respective  thrones  was  produced 
by  the  same  revolution.  Expelled  from  his  Pictish 
territories  in  728,  he  took  refage  in  Dalriada,  where 
he  SQCceeded  the  same  Dungal,  who  had  again  ob- 
tained the  throne.  After  the  death  of  his  brother 
Echach,  and  aft^  he  was  again  expelled  from  Dal- 
riada bythe  same  Angus  in  741,  he  seized  upon  the 
Pictish  territory  in  Galloway,  where  he  was  slain 
after  haTing  subdued  it 

The  &ther  of  Eemieth  who  lived  a  century  later, 
bore  likewise  the  Pictish  name  of  Alpin,  from  which, 
as  the  chronicles  are  agreed  in  stating  Kenneth, 
his  son,  to  be  of  Scottish  race,  we  may  infer  ibat 
his  mother  was  Pictish.  The  "CJhronicle  of  Hun- 
"  tingdon "  contains  an  account  of  events  in  the 
life  of  this  Alpln  and  his  son  KennetJi  which  are 
not  to  be  found  elsewhere,  and  which  have  been 
adopted  by  Fordun.  It  states  that,  "  in  the  year 
"  834,  the  Scots  encountered  the  Picts  on  Easter 
"  Day,  when  many  of  the  Pictish  nobles  fell,  and 
"  AlpinuB  rez  Scotorum  was  victorious,  and  that 
"  on  the  13th  day  of  the  Kalends  of  August  in  the 
"  eajoB  year  he  was  defeated  by  the  Picts  and  slain. 
"  That  his  son  Kenneth,  in  the  seventh  year  of  bis 
"  reign,  when  the  Danish  pirates  have  occupied  the 
"  shores,  destroyed  the  Picts  with  a  great  slaughter, 
"  passed  into  the  remainder  of  their  territories, 
"  turned  his  taxaa  against  fihem,  and  having  slain 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc

"  many,  compelled  them  to  fly,  and  that  thuB  he  re- 
"  gained  the  monarchy  of  the  whole  of  Albania,  and 
"  first  reigns  in  it  over  the  Scots.  That  in  the  twelfth 
"  year  of  his  reign  he  encountered  the  Flcte  seven 
"  times  in  one  day,  and  having  destroyed  many, 
"  he  confirmed  his  kingdom,  and  reigned  twenty- 
"  eight  years."  This  seems  likewise  a  fragmrait  of 
true  history.  If  Kenneth  succeeded  Aipin  in  834, 
and  reigned  twenly-eight  years,  this  would  place 
his  death  in  the  year  862.  The  "Irish  Annals" 
record  his  death  in  858,  but  the  "Pictish  Chronicle" 
enables  us  to  fis  the  exact  year,  for  it  states  that  he 
died  in  the  Ides  of  February,  on  the  third  day  of 
the  week;  and  the  Ides  of  February  fell  on  a 
Tuesday,  in  the  year  860.  This  chronicle,  there- 
fore, post-dates  the  commencement  of  his  reign  two 
years,  which  really  began  in  die  year  832.  The 
sevendi  year  of  his  reign  thus  falls  in  the  year  839  ; 
and  in  this  year  the  "  Irish  Annals  "  record  the  great 
batde  by  the  Qenntih  or  Danes  against  the  Firu 
Fortren,  or  men  of  Fortren,  in  which  Euganan  Mac 
Angusa,  king  of  the  Ficts,  Bran  his  brother,  Aed 
Mac  Boanta  the  Pictish  king  of  Dalriada,  and  many 
others  were  slain.  It  was  this  great  defeat  of  the 
Picts  which  enabled  Kennetli  with  his  Scots  to 
obtain  possession  of  the  rest  of  their  territories. 
The  "  Pictish  Chronicle "  records  the  reigns  of  two 
Pictish  kings  after  Euganan,  viz.,  Wrad  son  of 
Ballot,  three  years,  and  Bred,  one  year,  whose  joint 
reigns  thus  amounted  to  four  yeurs.    This  brings 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


PREFACE.  clraix 

UB  to  the  end  of  843,  and  in  his  twelfth  year,  which 
fells  in  the  year  844,  he  defeated  the  Picts  aeven 
times  in  one  day,  and  confirmed  his  kingdom.  If 
he  reigned  twenty-eight  years,  tins  leaves  sixteen 
years  of  his  reign,  which  is  the  length  of  the  reign 
given  to  him  in  the  "  Pictash  Chromcle,"  after  the 
last  king  of  the  Ficts.  The  later  chronicles  add 
three  more  kings  to  the  Ficts,  Einat  son  of  Ferat, 
one  month,  Brude  son  of  Fotel,  two  years,  and 
Drust  son  of  Ferat,  three  years,  whose  joint  reigns 
amoimt  to  six  years,  and  the  last  of  whom  was  slain 
at  Scona  This  brings  ns  to  the  year  850,  the  era 
from  vhieh  the  dates  are  reokoned'  in  the  later 
chronicles,  which  seem  to  have  regarded  Scone  as 
the  centre  of  the  kingdom,  and  &amed  their  lists  of 
kings  with  especial  reference  to  its  occupation ;  and 
this  is  the  year  to  which  the  tale  of  the  slaughter  of 
Fictiah  nobles  by  the  Scota  at  Scone  belongs. 

If  in  these  events,  t^en,  some  fragments  of  real 
history  have  been  handed  down  to  u^.  the  questicm 
naturally  arises,  "Where  did  the  Scots  come  from 
who  founded  this  later  Scottish  kingdom  under 
Kenneth  Mac  Alpin  ?  It  is  thus  answered  by  the 
later  chronicleB,  "  Hie  mira  calliditate  duxit  Scotos 
"  de  Ergadia  in  tena  Pictorum  ;"  but  this  ob- 
viousty  belongs  to  the  artificial  E^rstem  by  which 
the  later  kingdom  of  the  Scots  was  immediately 
connected  with  the  earlier  Scottish  kingdom  of 
Dalriada.  The  older  documents  are  silent  on  the 
subject,  with  the  exception  of  St.  Berchan,  who 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


calls  Kenneth  tiie  first  king  of  the  men  of  Erin. 
It  is  true  that  the  "FictUh  Chronicle"  states  of 
Kenneth,  "Iste  vero,  hiennio  anteqnam  veniret 
"  PictaTiam,  Dalriete  regnum  soscepit  -"  but  this 
chronicle  places  the  accession  of  Kenneth  in  a  year 
corresponding  to  the  twelfth  year  of  his  reign 
according  to  the  "  Chronicle  of  Huntingdon,"  or  844, 
and  this  would  place  his  accession  to  the  kingdom 
of  Daliiada  in  the  year  842,  three  years  after  the 
great  battle  in  which  Euganan  mac  Angos,  a  king  of 
the  Ficts,  and  Aed  mac  Boanta,  king  of  Dalriada, 
were  slain.  The  expression  in  the  '■'  FictiBh  Chro- 
"  nicle,"  "  Pictavia  autem  a  Fictis  est  nominata ; 
"  quo3,  ut  diximus,  Cinadius  delevit,*  implies  that  it 
had  originally  contained  some  account  of  the  de- 
struction of  the  Picts  which  has  been  omitted  by 
subsequent  transcribets.  The  two  authors  to  whom 
the  documents  of  which  transcripts  are  preserved  in 
die  Colbertine  ms.  appear  to  have  been  known  are 
Giraldua  Cambrensis  and  Banulph  Higden.  In  the 
treaty  "  De  Instmctione  Frincipum"  by  die  former, 
there  is  preserved  an  account  of  the  destruction  of 
the  Ficts  (No.  xxTtL.)  In  this  accoimt  the  Scots  are 
said  to  have  been  settled  in  Galloway,  and  to  have 
slain  the  chief  men  of  the  Ficldsh  nation  by  a 
strat^em,  at  a  meeting  to  which  they  were  invited 
by  the  Scots.  The  same  account  is  given  in  an

cedes  an  account  of  the  reign  of  Eennetb  Mac  Alpin, 
obnoady  taken  from  the  same  source  with  the 
"  Fictish  Chronicle."  In  the  chronicle  preserved 
in  the  "  Scalachronica,"  the  same  account  is  placed 
between  the  last  king  of  the  Ficts  and  the  reign 
of  Kenneth  Mac  Alpin.  By  this  account  a  colony 
of  Scots  settled  in  Galloway,  where  they  were 
mixed  with  the  Ficts,  spread  from  that  country 
into  Aigyle  and  the  Isles,  and  in  the  reign  of 
DroBt,  the  son  of  Feradac,  destroyed  the  Ficts 
by  inviting  them  to  a  general  council,  where  they 
slew  the  king  and  the  chief  nobles.  As  the 
chionicle  says  of  Drust,  the  last  king,  that  he 
was  slain  at  Scone  -par  trawmn,  it  is  clear  that 
this  event  falls  under  the  year  850,  when  Kenneth 
Mac  Alpin  obtained  possession  of  Scone ;  and  the 
"  Prophecy  of  St  Borchan"  alludes  to  the  same  event 
as  having  taken  place  at  Scone.  According  to  these 
authoiitieB,  tjie  Scots  whom  Kenneth  led  into  Pict- 
land  were  not  the  same  cdony  of  Scots  who  had 
founded  tlie  kingdom  of  DaJriada,  but  came  out  cKf 
Galloway,  where  they  had  lived  mixed  with  tbe 
Ficts,  and  spread  &om  thence  into  Argyle  and  the 
Isles.  There  is,  however,  in  the  "  Life  of  St  Cadroe," 
a  very  remarkable  account  of  the  wanderings  of  the 
Scots,  which  difiers  &om  all  others.  They  are  there 
said  to  have  entered  Ireland,  "  to  have  obtained  pos- 
"  session  of  doyne,  then  Armagh,  and  tiie  whole 
"  country  between  Loch  Eame  and  Loch  Neagh,  then 
"  KUdar^  Coi^  and  finally  to  have  entered  Benchor

"  in  Ulster ;  then,  after  the  exipiratdon  of  many  years, 
"  they  pa£a  over  into  lona,  and  proceed  by  the  lirer 
"  Bosis  to  occupy  the  region  of  Boasia,  and  finaUy 
"  posaeas  the  cities  of  Kigmonath  uid  Bellsthor, 
"  situated  at  a  distance  from  it."  The  whole  of  tiie 
cities  here  mentaoned  were  celebrated  ecdeoastical 
establishments,  and  tiiis  l^end  seems  to  indicate  the 
progress  of  an  ecclesiastical  part^.  The  latter  part 
of  it  can  be  identified.  From  Ireland  they  proceed 
to  the  isles,  itom  thence  they  enter  Bossia  by  the 
river  Bosis.  Bossia  is  of  course  the  province  of 
Boss ;  and  the  Bosis  is  the  river  Basay,  the  old  nune 
of  the  Blackwater,  which  rises  in  the  small  lake 
called  Loch  Droma,  on  the  ridge  sepaiatang  the 
eastern  and  western  watershed,  and  flows  through 
the  long  valley  leading  from  near  the  head  of  Loch 
Broom  till  it  &Ils  into  the  Conan  at  Coutin,  somb 
miles  above  Dingwall  From  thence  they  proceed 
southwards  to  l^gmonath,  the  old  name  of  St 
Andrews,  and  to  Bellathor,  which  must  have  been 
situated  at  or  near  Scone.  The  termination  of  the 
wanderings  of  this  colony  of  Scots  connect  them  at 
once  with  the  invasion  of  KenneUi  Mac  Alpin,  aad 
the  settlement  of  the  Scots  in  his  time  at  St.  Andrews, 
his  brother  and  successor,  Donald  Mac  Alpin,  having 
died,  according  to  the  "  Pictish  Chronicle,"  at  Bell- 
athor, and  according  to  the  "  Cronicon  Elegiaciim  " 
at  Scone.  The  founder  of  the  settlement  of  the 
Scots  in  Qalloway  is  said,  in  the  "  Scalachronica," 
to  have  been  Bedda,  and  he  seems  to  have  bieen 


D.qit.zeaOvGoOt^lc 


the  same  person  who  U  placed  by  Fordun  among 
the  early  kinga  under  the  name  of  Retber,  and 
ifi  said  to  have  brought  a  large  body  of  men  from 
Ireland,  and  to  have  entered  Britain  with  them, 
along  with  the  Scots  of  the  islands,  and  those  in* 
habiting  the  mainland  of  Albania.  It  is  remarkable 
enough  that  Hector  Boece  gives  this  colony  a  direc- 
tion which  exactly  eoiresponds  with  the  line  of  that 
invasion  given  in  the  "liife  of  Cadroe."  He 
aays,  "  that  he  passed  over  from  Ireland  into  the 
"  Hebrides,  and  there  having  collected  forces  in 
"  Albion,  he  entered  Loch  Broom,  and  proceeding 
"  to  the  south,  arrived  at  Dingwall,  and  thence 
"  penetrated  into  the  south  of  Britain." 

By  these  legends,  the  Scots,  led  by  Kenneth 
Mac  Alpin,  are  made  to  emerge  &om  Galloway,  the 
very  district,  to  which  Alpin,  the  last  king  of  Dal- 
riada,  led  his  Scots  on  his  expulsion  by  Angus  king 
of  the  Picta.  We  know,  from  the  "Chronicle  of 
"  Huntingdon,"  that  the  Danish  pirates  played  a 
great  part  in  the  revolution  which  placed  Kenneth, 
a  man  of  Scottish  race,  on  the  throne  of  the  Pict& 
The  Norwegian  or  Danish  pirates  appeared  on  the 
west  coast  in  the  end  of  the  eighth  century,  and  the 
"  Irish  Annals"  record  their  &equent  incursions  on 
the  coasts  of  Ireland  and  Scotland,  while,  at  this 
very  time,  the  Qallgaedkel,  or  Gallwegiana,  appear 
as  a  body  of  Celtic  pirates,  taking  part  in  their 
rav^es ;  and  at  the  same  period  a  great  effort 
appears  to  have  been  made  by  the  Scottish  clagy 
1>

to  repossess  the  churcheB  in  Scotltind  of  which  tl^ 
had  been  deprived  in  the  early  part  of  the  preced- 
ing century.  It  would  appear,  therefore,  that  these 
several  bodies  were  combined  in  the  revolution 
which  overtjirew  the  Pictiah  kingdom,  and  placed 
Kenneth  Mac  Alpin,  with  his  Scots,  on  the  throne ; 
and  this  exactly  corresponds  with  the  indications 
given  us  of  the  causes  which  led  to  this  revolution ; 
for  the  Ficts  had,  according  to  the  "  Irish  Amuds," 
sustained  a  great  defeat  &om  the  Danish  pirates, 
and  GaUoway  was  the  very  region  to  which  Alpin 
the  last  king  of  Scotti^  Dahiada  had  fled,  uid 
which  he  had  subdued,  while  the  return  of  the 
Scottish  clergy,  who  had  been  expelled  by  Nectan, 
king  of  the  Ficts,  Mid  their  recovery  of  their  old 
bailees,  formed  ein  important  element  in  the 
foundation  of  the  new  kingdom. 

Such  oonsiderationB  are  offered  more  as  specula- 
tions than  as  positive  deductions  from  historic  facts ; 
but  in  this  attempt  to  discriminate  between  what 
are  artificial  alterations  made  in  the  straeture  of 
these  old  chronicles  and  lists  of  kings  to  suit  the 
exigencies  of  a  controversy  in  which  the  feelings  of 
the  nation,  and  1he  supposed  honour  of  the  eountzy. 
were  deeply  involved,  Mid  what  are  the  fragments 
of  real  history  conveyed  under  the  form  of  legendary 
warative.  it  may  not,  it  is  hoped,  be  considered 
foreign  to  the  object  of  this  Prefiwje  to  place  thcta, 
such  as  they  are,  before  the  reader.

Though  not  great  is  thy  laud  at  this  da,j  among  thy  brothen,  it 
is  thou  who  ahalt  be  king.  From  thee  the  kings  of  ttua  territoiy

and  built  a  city  there,  viz.,  Pictaviii,  a  pietit,  that  is,  from 
their  anus,  and  the  king  of  France  fell  in  love  with  their 
sister.  They  put  to  sea  after  the  death  of  the  eizth  brother,

Grnithnecluui,  the  son  of  Locbit,  son  of  Ingi,  went  orer  from 
the  soDB  of  Mileadh  to  the  Britona  of  Fortienn  to  fight  against 
the  SaxoDs  ;  and  he  defended  the  country  of  Cruithentuaith  for 
them,  and  he  hinuelf  lemained  with  them.  Bnt  they  had  no 
women,  for  the  women  of  Alba  had  died.  And  Cruithnechan 
went  back  to  the  Bona  of  Mileadh,  and  he  ewore  bj  heaven  and 
by  earth,  and  the  buu  and  the  moon,  by  the  dew  and  the  ele- 
mentB,  by  the  sea  and  the  land,  that  the  regal  succeeaion  among 
them  for  ever  should  be  oo  the  mother's  side  ;  and  he  took  away 
with  him  twelve  women  that  were  superabundant  with  the  sons 
of  Mileadh,  for  their  husbands  had  been  drowned  in  the  western 
sea  along  with  Donn  ;  so  that  the  chiefs  of  the  Cruithneach  have 
been  of  the  men  of  Ebin  from  that  time  ever  since.

Caimech  then  commanded  MacErca  to  go  forth  and  deetrciy  his 
brother,  and  he  immediately  took  upon  himi^  to  fight  him,  and 
he  went  forth  at  the  command  of  Caimeoh  to  destroy  the  king. 
And  Qod  worked  a  gteat  miracle  there  for  Cainieoh,  viz.,  He 
sent  a  wild  fawn  out  of  the  mountain  into  the  king's  assembly, 
and  the  host  all  went  in  pursuit  of  it,  except  the  king  himself 
and  his  women.  And  said  MacErca,  If  you  had  been  just,  my 
lovd,  towaids  your  Oleric,  it  is  certain  Uiat  it  would  give  tn- 
creased  happiness  to  have  the  loyal  robe  on  Luiiig.  Then  Mac- 
Erca thrust  his  battle  staff  into  the  king's  mde,  so  that  it  was 
balanced,  and  he  returned  to  his  deric  with  the  head  with  him 
as  a  token,  and  said,  Here  is  thy  brother's  head  for  thee,  0  C&ir- 
uech.  And  said  Oaimech,  Leave  me  the  bone,  and  eat  thon  the 
marrow,  and  erery  third  Coarb  shall  be  thine  for  ever,  here  and 
in  Erin. 

Then  he  took  hoetagw  and  power  in  the  land,  and  Caimech, 
for  seven  years,  as  also  the  sovereignity  of  Britain,  and  Cat,  and 
Ore,  and  Saxony. 

IfaoErca  committed  an  additional  sin,  that  is,  he  took  the 
wife  of  I^irig  after  many  battles  and  conflicts  with  the  long  of 
France,  to  take  his  dwighter  fW>m  him  ;  until  at  last  the

It  vaa  at  that  tdme  [the  time  of  Herimon]  the  Oruitimeach 
came  to  Erin  uid  landed  at  Inbher  Slaine,  in  Ui  Cennsekugh. 
Grimthan  allowed  them  to  settle  in  his  temtoiy  on  acconnt  of 
the  remedy  which  the  Druid  of  the  Onuthneach  discovered  for 
him  for  making  battle  with  the  Tuaitti  Fidga,  viz.,  a  people  of 
the  Biitons.  Every  one  whom  they  wounded  was  sure  to  die, 
and  they  used  no  other  than  poisoned  weapona  And  the  remedy 
was  to  spill  the  milk  of  mz  score  white  homlesa  cowa  iuto  the 
Amows  of  the  place  on  which  the  battle  was  to  be  fought,  whence 
the  battJe  of  Ardleamuachta.  And  the  whole  of  the  Tuath  Fidhbha 
were  cut  off  through  that  artifice. 

And  Cathluan,  son  of  Cing  of  Crnithentuath,  acquired  great 
power  over  Erin,  and  Herimon  banished  him.

entered  Albany,  which  it  now  Scotland,  immediately  after  the 
death  of  this  Alpin,  and  entered  Britain,  which  is  now  England, 
in  the  time  of  Veapaaian  the  Soman,  and  in  the  time  of  Manriiui, 
Bon  of  Arviiagon,  king  of  Brituu.  The  Fid«  were  a  warlike  ' 
nation,  bred  and  t^ways  armed  to  battle.  Thc^  asBociated  them- 
selveB  with  Roderic,  on  chance  to  conquer  land.  This  Boderio  . 
TBS  alain  by  Maurins,  the  king  of  Brittun,  in  battle  near  Carlisle. 
Many  of  those  Picta  fled  to  the  woods,  and  sent  to  king  Maurina, 
b«f[£^  his  mercy,  who  granted  to  them  bia  peace,  and  assigned 
tbem  for  their  homage  a  country  beyond  Albany,  which  some 
Irish  people  had  in  part  commenced  to  inhabit,  who  called  them- 
selves Scots.  The  which  Picts,  who  were  combatants,  overcame 
the  Irish  Scots,  and  held  them  in  sul^ection.  The  which  Picts 
had  no  wivee,  and  because  the  Britons  would  not  be  married  to 
them,  they  loaght  women  ont  of  Ireland,  on  condition  that  their

seat  afterwards  for  Booh  others  as  they  wished,  and  slew  tiiem 
as  they  came,  10  that  they  did  as  they  desired ;  and  irom  that

fbr  eleven  hundred  and  eighty-seven  years,  and  the  kingdom  of 
the  Boots  reoommeaoed,  which  had  commenced  before  the  Picts, 
four  fauudred  and  fort^-three  years  before  the  incaination.

He  subjected  to  his  government  the  whole  country  to  the  Twede, 
erpelled  the  Angles  and  Britons  who  inhabited  it,  and  caused  the 
country  to  be  called  Scotland,  He  established  the  laws  which 
still  exist  in  Scotland,  and  this  was  in  the  time  just  after  Egbert 
bad  united  the  seven  kingdoms  of  the  Saxons  in  Britain,  so  that 
the  English  kings  had  so  much  to  do  in  eatablishing  their  dominion 
in  thui  country  that  they  did  not  undertake  anything  against 
Albany  fbr  so  bug  that  the  Scots  tiad  taken  such  royalty  without

Ab  ipso  eciam  r^e  aoBtio  Johanne  de  Balliolo,  qui  juie 
hereditorio  in  regno  Scocie  juste  et  legittime  secnndiun 
nsoa  et  landabiles  conaaetadinea  ipsius  regni,  tandem  ab 
omnibus  regni  incolis  in  hoc  n^odo  merito  comptobatas 
tanqnam  racionabilea  et  pteacript^,  auocedens,  regnum 
ipsum  Scocie  pacifice  optinebat,  per  vim  et  metom  consi- 
Tnilt'Tn  fidelitatem  et  bomagiuni  eztorsit  post  creaciojiem 
ipsius,  quod  in  prejudiciom  ipeius  et  regni,  maxime  cum 
tI  extoTsum  sit,  non  debet  redundare.  Dicit  eciam  quod 
iate  rex  noeter  sponte  confessua  est,  se  prodiciones  et  con- 
spiraciones  contra  regem  Auglie  commisisBe,  et  per  hoc  se 
incedisse  in.  crimen  lose  mtgestatia,  ac  se  perdidtsse 
r^;num  snnm  ipso  jure.  Certe  non  est  vemm,  nee  est 
Tetisimile,  talem,  in  tarn  ardno  n^ocio,  contoa  aeipsum 
tales  confessiones,  graoes  et  detestabiles  sponte  emisisse. 
Sed  verum  est,  quod,  com  regem  noatrmn  per  potenciam 
oe^osset,  et  regnum  ipsnm  neqniter  ocoupasset,  in  cujus 
regis  nostri  oapcione  suum  et  r^ni  sigiUum  ab  ipsitts 
cauceUario  per  -vim  et  metum  abstulit  et  accepit,  tunc, 
ut  dicitur,  literas  hi^usmodi  coofessionem,  poat  miaaionem 
ipmm  regia  nostri  et  filii  aui  in  Angliam  pro  carcere 
snbeundo,  fecit  &bricai:e;  et  coram  incolis  r^ni  Scocie 
pablicauit  literaa  eaadem,  quae  nunquam  postea  rates 
haboit  rex  noster  nee  habebit. 

Dicit  eciam  quod  possidet  regnum  Scocie,  et  vadit 
ad  Scociam  ad  suoe  rebelles  conigendos.  Sed  certe 
non  eat  venun,  ymmo  notorie  folaum.  Kam  Johannes

mandatum  vestrum  alias  sibi  directum,  debuerat  evacu-

And  othera  say  that  it  was  Cnithne,  son  of  Lochit,  eon  of  Cinge,

him  Erimon  gave  the  wires  of  the  men  who  were  drowned  with 
Donn. 

In  the  eighth  year  after  that  went  Cruthuechan,  Bon  of  Cinge, 
son  of  Iioichit,  to  the  Britona  of  Fortren  to  battle  against  the 
Saxons,  and  thej  yielded  the  children  and  the  sword-land  to  them, 
viz.,  Crutheuttuth,  and  they  took  poseeteion  of  the  land,  hut  they 
had  no  wires,  because  all  the  women  of  Alban  died  of  diseases. 
Cnithnechan  therefore  went  back  to  the  sons  of  Miledh,  and  he 
Bwoie  by  the  heaven  and  the  earth,  the  sun  and  the  moon,  the  sea 
and  the  land,  the  dew  and  the  elements,  that  of  women  should  be 
the  royal  succession  among  them  for  ever.  He  obtained  twelre 
women  that  remained  with  the  sons  of  MOedh,  whose  husbands  had 
been  drowned  in  the  western  sea  along  with  Donn,  so  that  of  the

et  a  vobismet  ipsis  originem  peccati  contraxistis,  ideo 
passio  Christi  vobis  non  profiiit.  Videns  igitur  Diabolus 
contra  virum  Sanctum  se  nichQ  posse  proficere,  interroga- 
tione  victus  ait.  Sapiens  es  tu  Servane  et  non  possum
