Chronicle of Scottish History, early 15th century

The first section of this Scottish chronicle, rendered by a 15th century hand, is contained on ff.i-ii and covers the years 1056-1355. Of this section of the chronicle, the period 1058-1154 is nearly an exact copy of the Chronicle of Melrose. However, the remainder of the chronicle from 1154-1401 is an entirely unique account and does not seem to follow any of the existing chronicles from medieval Scotland. The period 1356-1401 is contained in the margins on ff.231v-232v which picks up where the account on ff.i-ii leaves off. Overall, the chronicle is a very brief record of events including the Wars of Independence between Scotland and England, possibly composed by the canons of Aberdeen, since the manuscript seems to have been in use there.
