Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of Documents Relating to Scotland, Vol. 4: Preserved in Her Majesty´s Public Record Office, London; A. D. 1357 1509; Addenda 1221 1435 This volume, the last of the series, embraces the period of a full century and a half. It includes the reign of David II. after his return from captivity, the reigns of Robert II. and III., and of the first four Jameses, stopping short by a few years of the disastrous day of Flodden. As respects England it includes the last twenty years of Edward III., the reigns of Richard II., Henry IV., V., and VI., Edward IV., and Richard III., closing with the death, in 1509, of the first Tudor king, Henry VII. The number and value of authorities, other than records, fall off materially during this period. The Scalacronica, which contained so many interesting references to Scottish affairs in our last volume, is almost entirely occupied with the English wars in France, and scarcely touches Scotland till near its close about the year 1370. The Scotichronicon, or rather the Gesta Annalia of Fordun, in the amended text of Dr Skene, divested of the later interpolations of his continuator Bower, ends with the year 1383, the probable date of Fordun´s own death, and the promised edition of Bower´s work, as distinct from that of Fordun, has not yet appeared. As the learned editor of the Exchequer Rolls observes, authentic materials for Scottish history during the fifteenth century are scanty, rendering these rolls of great value in filling the void, for there are no contemporary Scottish historians.
