M.DC.X royal blazon and crown of King Malcolm III of Scotland MAlcolme, surnamed Canmor, that is, Great-Head, the third of that name, King of Scots, was the eighty & sixth King after Fergusius, that governed the kingdom of Scotland. This Malcolme was the son of Duncan, the son of Crinanus Prince of Cumberland, begotten upon the Kinswoman of Siward Earl of Northumberland. Unto this Malcolme, Edward the Confessor King of England, gave the kingdom of Scotland, to be held of the Crown of England, during the reign of which Malcolme, King Edward died. Edgar Aetheling, or Adeling (unto whom in equiry the kingdom of his deceased Kinsman king Edward the Confessor appertained) at that time remaining in Hungary, with his Mother, his Sister, and a great family, putting forth to sea, with intent to return into his Native Country, being tossed with contrary winds, at last landed upon the coast of Scotland: where, being courteously entertained by this Malcolme, after much conference, and courteous offices (for at that time Malcolme spoke the English tongue as his own, which in those seasons was seldom used among the Scottish Nation, by reason that he had lived a banished man, fourteen years of his youth in England) Margaret, Edgar's sister, for the excellent beauty and Noble carriage of herself in the Court of Scotland, so much pleased the fancy of Malcolme, that he desired her for his wife, and married her. By whom he had six sons, and two daughters. William the Conqueror, in the sixth year of his reign, overthrew this Malcolme in battle, and of him as of his Leigeman, exacted the Oath of fealty and homage, which homage was performed (as saith Roger Hovedon) at Abernethy in Scotland. The like did William Rufus by the said Malcolme and his two sons, successively reigning Kings, one after another, as it appeareth by the Chronicles of Florentius a Monk of Worcester, William of Malmesbury, Roger Hovedon, Henry of Huntingdon, and others. This Malcolme after he had reigned 37. years, and eight months, was slain, with Edward his eldest son, at the siege of Almeric or Anwik a Castle in Northumberland, Anno. Dom, 1093. and lieth buried at Tinemouth, having before builded the Churches of Durham in England, and Dunfermeline in Scotland. He bore for his Arms, Or, a Lion rampant Gules only, without any Tressure at all: for whereas it hath been generally received, that the Tressure hath been used in the Arms of Scotland from the time of Achaius King of Scots, who first made league with the French, which giveth some colour to the matter, being garnished with Flours-de-luce. Yet I make a question, who can prove any Arms, either with us here in England, or in Scotland, of that antiquity? Surely none, until of long time after, and much about the time of this Malcolme, if any at all than were. But out of all doubt, whensoever they first began to bear Arms, they bore the Lion, only without any tract or tressure, as is abovesaid, which I find continued in that order, until the time of Alexander the second King of Scotland, as appeareth by his Seal, who in his shield bore this Lion rampant simply, without any addition. And his son Alexander the third, was the first that I find, to use the tressure floury, and that but a single one neither, as you may see it cut in stone at Westminster, in the time of the said Alexander's reign: which Tressure, K. Edward the first used also but single, in the seals which he made for the matters concerning his kingdom of Scotland. And I make no doubt, but that whensoever this tressure was first assumed, it did imply, and was a token of certain and sure league made with the French, which afterward daily grew stronger and stronger, and to the intent that they would show how willing they were to keep it, of their single Tressure, they made a double one. royal blazon and crown of Margaret, wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland MArgaret, the daughter of Edward the Outlaw (son of Edmund Ironside, King of England) & sister to Edgar Etheling, by whose death issueless, she was heir of the Saxon Kings and Monarches: and Queen of Scotland, by marriage of Malcolme the third, king of that Realm. She died in the Castle of Edinburgh, in the year 1093. upon report of her husband's death, four days after his decease. For her sanctity of life, she was after her death, canonized a Saint, and remaineth registered in the Calendar of Saints. She was no less ennobled by her mother Agatha, the daughter of Henry the fourth Emperor, Grandchild unto Lewis, and lineal descendant of Charles the great, then by her Father Edward, being the issue of so many holy and glorious Princes. Their Issue. Edward, who was slain with his Father at Alnwick, by the most valiant knight morel, the 17. of the Calends of September, in the 37. year of the reign of his Father. Edmund, who died a Child. Ethelred, died young also Edgar, who slew his Uncle Donevald, reigned in his stead, and held Cumberland by the gift of william Rufus. Alexander, who after the decease of his Brother, entered upon the kingdom, and also held Cumberland by the grant of Henry the first. David, who reigned after the death of his Brother Alexander. Matild, or Mauld (surnamed Bona) upon whose Virtues, was made this memorable Epigram, who was Queen of England, & wife to k. Henry the first. Prospera non laetam fecêre nec aspera tristem, Prospera terror ei aspera risus erant: Non decor effecit fragilem, non Sceptra Superbam, Sola potens humilis, Sola pudica decens. Marry, who was Countess of Bullogne, married unto Eustace, Earl of Bullogn, unto whom she bore one daughter, Mauld, heir of the County of Bullogn, and married unto Stephen, King of England, unto whom she bore Eustace, who died before his Father. She died▪ 1115. the 27. of December. royal blazon and crown of Kings Duncan II to Alexander I of Scotland An. Dom. 1096. DVncan, the base son of Malcolme, and after him, Edgar and Alexander, the lawful children of Malcolme, successively reigned over the Scots. This Duncan, forced Donevald, Brother unto King Malcolme to fly his Country, and by the grant and gift of william Rufus, King of England, reigned in his stead, after he had performed his Oath of homage and fealty, made to the said king william Rufus. And after the said Duncan had reigned one year and an half, he was slain by Makpender, the Thane, and Earl of Morn's. An. Dom. 1007. Whereupon, the same King william Rufus sent Clito Edgar with an Army into Scotland, therein to seat his Brother in Law Edgar, the son of King Malcolme, after the expulsion of his Uncle Donevald, who usurped upon the kingdom: and he gave unto the said Edgar the Kingdom, and received the accustomed homage and fealty. The said Edgar deceased the sixth of january, 1107. and unto him succeeded Alexander his Brother, by the consent of King Henry the first, Anno. Dom. 1107. unto whom he also gave the like Oath of homage & fealty. Seventeen years reigned Alexander: but because both himself, as also his Brethren died issueless, David the youngest son of King Malcolme, succeeded in the Kingdom, Anno. 1124. who being more worthy than both his Brethren reigned prosperously, 29. years, and two months. royal blazon and crown of King David I of Scotland An. Dom. 1124 David, commonly called Saint David, the youngest son of King Malcolme the third, Edgar and Alexander his Brethren, being dead without issue, succeeded in the kingdom of Scotland, in the year of our Lord, 1124. Of proud persons, he (a valiant Prince) was the tamer and confounder; towards his good subjects, he was mild and merciful; a Prince, Religious and zealous. He marvelously reform the Scottish Nation, whose manners were very rude, & also greedy of blood, out of their savage barbarousness so accustomed to bloodshed, neither regarding Age, nor Sex. He waged war, and fought two mighty battles with Stephen, King of England, assisting the just quarrel of his Niece the late Empress. For unto Mauld the Empress, the Daughter and heir of King Henry the first, and his Sister's eldest Daughter, he had made his homage and fealty. For when King Stephen had sent to demand homage of the said King David, for the Realm of Scotland, as for all other the Lands and signiories which he held of him within England: King David made answer, that both Stephen, he himself, with all the Nobility of England, were all severally bound by Oath, to the obedience of the Empress his Niece, as the only lineal and lawful heir to king Henry the first, her Father, whereof he for his part made that conscience, as that during her life, he would never acknowledge any other true inheritor to the Crown of England. Afterward notwithstanding, he gave his son Henry, as hostage to k. Stephen, who in his Father's behalf did likewise swear homage unto the said K. Stephen. The Northern Provinces of England (viz.) Northumberland & Cumberland, he claimed in the name of Mauld the Empress, which being gotten, he long retained them as in his proper right, till King Henry, the son of the said Mauld the Empress, digesting with impatience, to be defrauded of so Noble a portion of his inheritance, regained the foresaid Frontiers from King Malcolme, the Grandchild of David, by his son Henry. And thus after many troubles, King David slept with his Fathers, in the year of our Lord, 1153. in the eighteenth year of King Stephen, the 24. day of May; declaring his Grandchild, the eldest son of his Son Earl Henry, as yet within age, his successor in the kingdom. He lieth buried at Dumfermeling. A Prince he was, of great Virtue and Honour, who after his honourable marriage, and his undefiled bed, having one only son borne unto him, he ever after remained a widower. He builded many Monasteries; namely, Halyrudehouse, Kelso, jedburgh, Dun-dranan, Cambuskeneth, Kinlosse, Metrosse, Newbottell, Dunfermelin, Holme in Cumberland, and two Religious places at Newcastle in Northumberland. He erected four Byshopprickes, (viz.) Rosse, Brechin, Dumblane, and Dunkeld. royal blazon and crown of Matild, wife of King David I of Scotland MAtild, or Mauld, one of the daughters & heirs of Waltheof, earl of Northumberland and Huntingdon, and of judith his wife, the daughter of Lambert Earl of Lens, Niece of william the Conqueror, was Wife to King David, and Widow of Simon Saint-Liz, Earl of Nort●umberland and Huntingdon. Their Issue.

Ada, married to Florence, earl of Holland. Mauld, who died in tender years unmarried. royal blazon and crown of King Malcolm IV of Scotland An. Dom. 1153. MAlcolme, the fourth of that name (surnamed the Maiden, because he would never marry, as hereafter is showed) the Grandchild of King David, being thirteen years of age, succeeded in the kingdom of Scotland, in the year of Grace, 1153. Henry King of England, son to the Empress, invested this Malcolme with the Order of Knighthood, and caused him to render unto him the Countries of Northumberland and Cumberland, and in am thereof, restored him again to the earldom of Huntingdon, of ancient right appertaining unto him; having first, performed his Oath of homage & fealty for the kingdom of Scotland, at Chester, in the year of grace, 1160. The Country of Galloway in rebelling against him, he visited in person with a mighty Army, and subdued it. After he came unto man's estate, the grave counsellors of his kingdom persuaded him to take a Wife; but he ever refused to hearken thereunto, constantly affirming, that he had vowed chastity, which he observed all the days of his life. He died at jedworth, after he had reigned twelve years, and six months. But his body was buried at Dumfermling, a place lying almost in the midst of the kingdom, where for the most part the kings of Scotland have been accustomed to have been buried, even to these our days. After him, succeeded his Brother william, a man more fit for worldly affairs than his Brother, but for the Noble government of the kingdom, he could not be more happy than his Brother. royal blazon and crown of King William I of Scotland Arma paterna●… An. Dom. 1165. WIlliam, Earl of Huntingdon in England, Brother unto Malcolme the fourth, succeeded in the kingdom of Scotland, & was crowned in the year of Grace, 1165. This William, as also David his Brother, with all the residue of the Earls and Barons of the Kingdom of Scotland, became the Leidge-men of King Henry the younger, the son of King Henry the second, the day after his Coronation, and swore unto him fealty against all men, reserving their allegiances due unto Henry the Father (as yet living.) Howbeit, the same William having forgotten his duty, in hostile manner invaded the Country of Northumberland, with a puissant Army, in the twentieth year of Henry the second, and used exceeding cruelty against the Inhabitants. Against whom, certain Lords of Yorkshire, making out (viz.) Ranulph de Glanvill, Robert de Stutevill, Bernard de Balliol, William de Vesey, and others, they took him prisoner at Alnwick or Anwick, and surrendered him unto the foresaid Henry. In the year following, the fifteenth day before the Calends of May, he was permitted to departed freely. And afterward, the said William, by the consent of the Prelates, the Earls, Barons, and Nobles, and all others the chief persons of Scotland, coming unto York, in the foresaid year, the seventeenth day before the Calends of September, he did acknowledge by his Letters Patents, unto his Lord Henry, King of England, the son of Maud the Empress, that he, his heirs and successors, should for ever be subject unto the Kings of England, as unto their Leige-Lordes. After the decease of King Henry, this william came again to Canterbury, and did his homage unto Richard the first, the son and heir of the said Henry. And after his death also, the said William did his homage, and swore his allegiance to john, King of England, Brother and heir unto the foresaid Richard, on a heigh hill without the City of Lincoln, in the sight of all the people, upon the cross of Hubert Archbishop of Canterbury. At last, falling grievously sick, he departed this life at Striueling, the day before the Nones of December, in the year of Christ, 1214. in the scutcheon and two year of his age, and the 49. of his reign: or as others say, in the 52. and lieth buried at Abirbrothoke, a Monastery which he himself had founded. royal blazon and crown of Ada, first wife of King William I of Scotland The first wife. ADa, the daughter of Robert de Auenell, (saith Scot Chronicon. was the first wife of king william, whose name and progeny to other Chroniclers are not very well known; perhaps, for that he married her, as yet being but a private person, and are therefore silenced or omitted of Historiographers. But his daughter Adama, begotten upon her, he married unto Patric of Dunbar, Earl of March. royal blazon and crown of Ermengardis, second wife of King William I of Scotland The second wife. ERmengardis, the daughter of Richard Viscount Beaumond, the son of Rosalin, Viscount Beaumond, & of Constance, the base daughter of Henry the first and Kinswoman to Henry the second, was the second wife of King William. She was married unto him at Woodstock, in the Nones of September, in the year of our Lord, 1186. by Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the 33. year of the reign of King Henry the second. She founded the Monastery of Bulmurinagh, & died the 3. Ideses of Febr. 1233. in the 47. year after her espousals, & lies buried in Bulmurinagh being of her own foundation, as aforesaid.

Aufric, married to William of Say in Ireland: from whom descended Roger de Amundevile or Mundevile, a Competitor also of the said kingdom. royal blazon and crown of King Alexander II of Scotland An. Dom. 1214. ALexander the second, after the decease of William his Father, was crowned King of Scotland, at Scone, on the feast day of S. Nicholas, with great honour, being but sixteen years old and an half, when he began to reign. A Prince, surely worthy of government, & a man who towards the poor was bountiful, cherrished the good, abhorred the evil, and accustomed to do right unto all men with justice and equity. He observed the peace most faithful, with King john, and Henry his son: unto the which john, and afterward to his son Henry, he did his homage for the kingdom of Scotland. And pacifying the rebellious Islanders, he departed the way of all flesh, at Kerueray, in the west Isles, in the year of our Lord, 1249. the second day of june, after almost thirty and five years of his happy and fortunate reign, and lieth buried in the Monastery of Melros, in the 51. year of his age, and the 35. of his reign. royal blazon and crown of Joane, first wife of King Alexander II of Scotland The first wife.

From whom Nicholas de Souls, one of the Competitors for the kingdom of Scotland descended. royal blazon and crown of King Alexander III of Scotland An. Dom. 1249. ALexander the third, the son of Alexander the second, after his decease, was crowned King of Scotland. And because this Alexander at the death of his father was but nine year old, a great fear possessed the Governors of the child, lest upon contempt of his Nonage, usurpations on every hand should be enforced upon the Kingdom. Whereupon, in all haste, Messengers in the King's name were dispatched unto Henry the third, King of England, both to continue the ancient league and amity, as also to request his daughter for their King in marriage, whereunto, K. Henry granted in all points, & so Alexander took Margaret, the Daughter of the said King Henry, for his wife, and afterward did his homage to the said Henry Father in in Law, and to his son Edward, for the kingdom of Scotland. At last, in the year of our Lord, 1285. The 19 day of March, the said Alexander falling from his horse, upon the sands on the North side of Kyngorne, and breaking his neck, died, in the 37. year of his reign, and lieth buried at Dunfermeling, having formerly builded the cross Church of Peibles. After whose death, the kingdom of Scotland, for the space of six years, and nine months, had no Governor, which produced many lamentable grievances (as shall hereafter appear.) He left one only daughter and heir unto the kingdom (named Margaret) and she was married unto Eric, King of Norway; who bore also another Margaret, (commonly called the Maiden of Norway, who presently after her Mother, also deceased issueless. Whereupon, Controversy arose, as concerning the succession. For the kingdom lay vacant by the term of six years, and nine months, as aforesaid, the state being promiscuously governed by six Viceroys or Governors. The Governors for the Southside of Forth, were Robert Archbishop of Glasquo, john Cumin, and john, great Steward of Scotland: for the northside of Forth, were appointed Macduff, Earl of Fife, john Cumin Earl of Buckquhane, and William Frazer Archbishop of S. Andrew's, who being all worn out, at last, by the judgement of Edward the first King of England, john Balliol took upon him the supreme authority over that kingdom. royal blazon and crown of Margaret, first wife of King Alexander III of Scotland The first wife. MArgaret, the daughter of Henry the third, King of England, and Sister unto Edward the first, was wife unto Alexander the third, King of Scotland.

IOletta, Daughter of the Earl of Dreux, in France, second wife unto Alexander the third, King of Scots, whom he married, as having good hope to leave issue by her to succeed him. She was married unto him in the year of our Lord, 1286. by whom he left no successor. royal blazon and crown of Margaret, third wife of King Alexander III of Scotland The third wife. MArgaret, the Daughter of Guy de Dampier, Earl of Flanders, was third wife unto this Alexander the third, by whom she had no issue. She was afterward again married to the Earl of gelders. Children by his first wife. Alexander, who died an untimely death in the life time of his father, was borne at jedworth, the 12. calends of january, 1264. David, who also died in the life time of his Father. Margaret, married to Eric of Norway, son of Magnus, King of Norway. Of whom was borne another Margaret, the only future heir of the kingdom of Scotland. Who being promised in marriage to Prince Edward, the son of Edward the first, King of England, coming out of Norway to be married, in her journey about the Orchades, being very young, died. Whereupon, great contentions arising, concerning the succession of the kingdom, Edward the first, King of England, in the 18. year of his reign, summoned the Scottish Nobility to a Parliament at Norham, there declaring unto them his right of Sovereignty, Paramount over the kingdom of Scotland. Which being acknowledged by the said Scottish Nobility, and seisin and possession of the Land and the Castles of the kingdom, being delivered to him by the Competitors, he caused divers Instruments & Duplicats thereof to be sealed by them, which to most of the chiefest Monasteries of his realm, he sent to be preserved for posterity. He then received in the claims of the several Competitors: Of which, the greatest right, and only descent of title, seemed to be between Robert de Brus, and john de Balliol, both being descended from David Earl of Anguse and Huntingdon, Brother to Malcolme and William, and Uncle to Alexander the last King, to whom he was next heir, & he survived the issue of his Nephew. Robert de Brus, the eldest son of Isabella, the daughter of the foresaid David, claimed a presedency of right, as being by a degree nearer in blood then Balliol, to the last King, which was consonant to the law of Nations, the fittest rule to square out the interest of Kings. But either wearied as seemeth with the trouble of Competitor, or willing to show a rare example of moderation in his election of a private life, he resigned up his claim and interest of that kingdom to his son. The Original deed still remaining with Sir Robert Cotton, the heir of Bernard de Brus, his second Brother, and is in these words: Omnibus Christi fidelibus hoc praesens scriptum visuris vel audituris Robertus de Brus Dominus de valle Anandia salutem in domino. Noverit universitas vestra nos concessisse & omnino remisisse karissimo filio nostro domino Roberto de Brus Comiti Karrik. & haeredibus suis, totum ius & clamium quod habuimus vel habere potuimus ad petendum regnum Scotiae, Ita quod nos nihil juris aut clamij ad praedictum regnum, nomine nostro petendum de caetero vendicare aut exigere possumus damus insuper & spontanea voluntate concedimus praedicto filio nostro & heredibus suis plenam & liberam potestatem dictum regnum petendi, & ius quod sibi competit in hac part nomine suo prosequends prove voluntate sui melius noverit convenire & omnia faciendi que per nos ante tenorem confectionis praesentium poterunt expediri.

Datum apud Berwic, die veneris in Crastino sancti, Leonardi, Anno. gratiae, 1292. But in conclusion, Edward the first finding Balliol an easier instrument, apt to lean to his desire either of reducing that kingdom to his immediate obedience, or at least for retaining it within the reach of his sovereignty, preferred him for King, being the son of Deruergilla, the Daughter of Margaret, the first begotten daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, great Uncle unto this Alexander the third. royal blazon and crown of King John of Scotland He was crowned the last day of November, at Scone, upon Saint Stephen's day following. IOhn Balliol, the son of john Balliol, and of Deruerguld his wife, the Daughter of Margaret, the eldest Daughter of David Earl of Huntingdon, great Uncle unto Alexander the third (who died without issue) by the suffrage of Edward the first, King of England, was advanced unto the Royal Throne of the kingdom of Scotland, and did the accustomed homage, and swore allegiance unto the said King Edward, at the Town of Newcastle upon Tine, in the year of our redemption, 1292. M. se●… & ter C. sed ab illis octo c●herce, Hoc anno Domini tradidit d●…ma johanni. For three years, and somewhat above, this Balliol governed the state of Scotland: But, for that he proved slothful and negligent, the Scots deposed him, as an unprofitable member, in the year of our Lord, 1292. S●… Chron. lib. 1● Cap. ●6. From whence, he fled into France, and there died. Whereupon, Edward King of England, for ten years space, miserably afflicted the Scottish Nation, and by force entered the kingdom as far as the River Forna, where is the passage to Ros. Hear by the way it is to be noted, * Some say it was this man's father. that this john Balliol founded that College in Oxford, 1263. which to this day beareth his own name there: whose Grand father (by the Father side) Alexander Balliol, in like manner (as others his predecessors) were owners of Bernard Castle in the bishopric of Durham: which said Castle it is reported, that one Bernard Balliol, presently after the Conquest of England by the Normans, erected, and named it after his own name. Between the reign of this john, and Robert Brus, William waleys, with some others, opposed themselves against Edward, k of England. The which waleys being afterward taken. Edw. the 1. did hang at London, & caused his quarters to be fixed upon poles in many places in Scotland. Anno. 1305. royal blazon and crown of Isabell, wife of King John of Scotland ISabell, the Daughter of john, Earl Warren and Surrey, was wife unto this john Balliol, King of Scotland. Their Issue.

Dom. 1306. RObert le Brus, Earl of Carict, (the son of Robert Earl of Carict, great Nephew of Isabella, the second Daughter of David Earl of Huntingdon, great Uncle unto Alexander the third) having now put Balliol to flight, assumed the kingdom of Scotland, from which he held himself so long unjustly debarred. And so upon the feast day of the Annunciation of our blessed Lady, he was crowned King in the Monastery of Scone, in the year of Grace, 1306. But Edward the first, king of England, desirous to repress his actions, for his own advantage, levied a puissant army against him, under the direction & Lieutenancy of Aumary de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, at that time Deputy & governor of the kingdom of Scotland; who at Methwen encountered the said K. Robert: wherein the said Robert was overthrown and put to flight, the 19 of june, 1306. But reinforcing his strength, he oftentimes renewed the war with Edward the first, second, and third, Kings of England, and was the mirror of Chivalry in those days. This valiant King after he had reigned 24. years, being strooken with a Leprosy, died at Cardros, 1328. the 7. of june, the 2. of Edward the third, and lieth buried in the Monastery at Dunfermeling. King Robert being dead, Thomas Ranulph Earl of Murrey, was made Governor of the kingdom; but he was poisoned at Musselburg, the 13. of August, 1332. It is reported, that Robert upon his deathbed, willed three things in his Testament. First, that the Kings of Scotland should never alienate the Scottish Islands nor bestow them on great personages. Secondly, that the Scots should never give a long nor determinate day unto the English to fight on. Thirdly, he willed his heart to be delivered unto some worthy knight, that had vowed himself to the wars in the Holy-Land, to carry it into the field with him, whensoever he should fight against the Infidels: which accordingly he bequeathed unto that Nobleman, james Douglas, for that he had heretofore made a Vow, that in proper person he would undertake to fight against the Infidels aforesaid. royal blazon and crown of Isabell, first wife of King Robert I of Scotland The first wife.

It was covenanted at Air, 1315. by the Nobles of the kingdom, that if King Robert deceased without heir male, that then his Brother Edward Brus, should be King. And if the said Edward also died without male, that then, this Marioria, and so others of the king's Daughters, should succeed, in case they married to the good liking of the King and the Realm.

And at Duplin obtaining a great victory against the Guardians of David Brus, and of the kingdom of Scotland, by the assistance of Edward the third, King of England, by the sword he made good way to his foresaid claim to the kingdom of Scotland, and accordingly took upon him the regal Dignity, in the Monastery of Scone, the four and twentieth day of September, Anno. Dom. 1332. With whom took part, David Earl of Athol, Henry de Beaumond, Earl of Bucquhane, Gilbert de Vmfraville, Earl of Angus, Ralph Baron of Stafford, Richard Talbot, and many others the Nobles of England, who had Title unto Lands in the same kingdom, in right of their wives. The second year after, this Edward, King of Scots, did his homage unto Edward the third, at Newcastle upon Tyne, for the whole kingdom of Scotland, and the adjacent Isles, upon the Feast day of Saint Geruais and Prothasius, the fourteenth Calends of july, in the year of grace, 1333. Upon occasion of which homage, the Commons of Scotland rose against both the kings in divers parts of the kingdom. Whereupon, Balliol was enforced for a time to make his abode in England. In the Interim whereof, David the son of Robert Brus, as yet a Child, and in the custody of Thomas Randolph, Earl of Murrey Protector, is crowned King: who afterwards growing unto man's estate, proved a Prince of no less spirit than his Father, but not so fortunate. For Edward Balliol (David as yet being young, and Thomas Randolph deceased) invaded the kingdom, and put David to flight; who together with his Wife, (the Sister of Edward the third) was enforced to fly into France, where he lay obscurely, eight years and more. But at last, David preparing for his return, he was received with the general applause of the people, and Balliol rejected, necessity enforcing him to fly into England, unto King Edward. Where weighing with himself his manifold eiections; at last, freely released unto Edward the third, King of England, his entire right unto the kingdom of Scotland, for the sum of 2000 pound years for his maintenance, as appeareth by good record, Brevia directa Baronibus, 38.

Dom. 1329. David Brus, the son of Robert Brus, after the ejection of Balliol, in the year of our Lord 1329. was called out of France (wherein he had now lived to man's estate,) to take on him the government and rule of the Realm of Scotland, as King thereof, and upon the 24. day of November, in the year of Christ 1331. in the eight year of his age, and the third of his reign, in the Parliament at Scone, he received the order of Kinghthood at the hands of that Noble-gentleman, Tho. Randolph Earl of Murry. The day following he was Crowned, and anointed with great honour (before whom, never was there any King of Scotland Crowned or anointed.) Upon the sameday, was also crowned and anointed johan his Q. Against this David, Edward Balliol waging war, besieged Berwick, to whose aid also came that victorious Prince, King Edward the third. In the year of our Lord 1333. the 19 of july, in the battle at Halidon-Hill, where were slain 7. Earls, of Barons and Knights 900. Esquires 400. and 3000. common Soldiers, & Barwick was taken by the said King Edward the third the day after, being the 20. of july. In this David's time also Edward the 3. besieged Calis, which was then in the possession of Philip of Valois the French King. Whereupnn this Philip sent his ambassadors into Scotland unto King David, that according to their league he should enter England, so to divert his enemy Edward, from the said siege of Calis. Who condescending unto the French King, adventured to invade England, with a right puissant army of Scotsh-men, presuming, that Edward had left behind him none but churchmen, & husbandmen; and that the flower of the soldiery of England, had been over sea with the King their Sovereign. Whereupon, he Marched as far as Durham, where he was fought withal, and overthrown by the inhabitants of Yorkshire, & some few others: He himself, with william Douglas, and many others of the Nobles taken prisoners, by john Coupland an Esquire of the North and committed to safe custody, upon the vigil of Saint Luke the Evangelist, in the year of Grace 1346. Those that fought the said victorious battle, were william Le-Zouch Archbishop of York with the Clergy of his Diocese, Gilbert de Vmfravill Earl of Anegoes, Henry Percy, Ralph Nevil, william D'eyncourt, and Henry Le-Scrope, with a very small Army of Englishmen, such as they could assemble in such a penurious season. The tenth year after, being ransomed, he showed himself a very modest Prince to the end of his life, which was at Edenburg in the 47. year of his age, and the 39 of his reign; in the year of our Lord 1370. leaving no issue behind him to succeed him. He lieth buried in the Monastery of Saint Cross, before the great Altar there. royal blazon and crown of Johan, first wife of King David II of Scotland The first wife. johan (surnamed of the Tower) the daughter of king Edward the second, King of England, and Sister unto King Edward the third, was the first wife of David King of Scots. who iornying into England to see her Brother, there died without issue; and lieth buried at London, in the Church of the friars Minorits. He Married her at Berwick the 17. of july 1238. royal blazon and crown of Margaret, second wife of King David II of Scotland The second wife. MArgaret Logi, the Daughter of john Logi Knight, a Virgin excelling all other of that time for beauty, was the second Wife of King David, whom (as he himself boasted) he married rather for her form, then in desire of issue. Notwithstanding, when he perceived that she had accomplished the age of four and twenty years, and grew hopeless of Issue, he forsook her. Whereupon, she appealed unto the court of Rome, and after the expense of much Treasure, (to no purpose,) she died. royal blazon and crown of King Robert II of Scotland An. Dom. 1371. RObert Stewart, surnamed the Hunter, the Nephew of David Brus, by his Sister, he was son of walter Stewart, begotten upon the body of Margery, the sister of King David, by the general agreement of the whole Scottish Nation, is nominated king in stead of his deceased uncle, upon the feast day of the Anunciation of our blessed Lady, in the year of our Lord, 1371. Against whom, in the very beginning, william Douglas opposed himself, affirming, that the right of that kingdom accrued unto him by the alliance with the Balliols' and Comyns'. But perceiving that George of Dunbarre, Earl of March, and his Brother the Earl of Murrey, and the Lord Erskine, (who had three of the strongest fortresses of the kingdom in their custodies, (viz:) the Castle of Maidens, Striueling, and Dunbreton) did strongly oppose against him, whereupon he renounced his pretension. And at last, the daughter of King Robert, borne in lawful wedlock, was given in marriage to james, son and heir of the said william Douglas. This Robert amongst the Scots, was the second King of that name, and the first of the Stewarts: under which Surname, and under nine Kings of the name, for the space of two hundred years and more, even unto this day, have the Scots been happily governed, and the famous Jsle of Great Britain in our days, into one Government united, by our dread Sovereign Lord King james, that now is. Unto any of whom, this Robert was nothing inferior in happiness, as the man, whom during the whole time of his reign, never felt the affliction of any adverse fortune. He died with age, and not with sickness, the 13. of the Calends of May, in the year of our Lord, 1390. and in the 19 year of his reign, in his Castle of Deidon, being full of days, (viz.) in the 74. year of his age, and lieth buried in the Monastery of Scone. royal blazon and crown of Eufemia, first wife of King Robert II of Scotland The first wife. EVfemia, the daughter of Hugh Earl of Ros, was the first lawful wife of this Robert King of Scotland. who not long after her husband Robert, was crowned in solemn manner, 1372. She died in the third year of his reign, and in the year of our Lord, 1387. royal blazon and crown of Elizabeth, second wife of King Robert II of Scotland The second wife.

Alexander Stewart, Earl of Bucquhane, father of Duncan A daughter, married to john of Dunbarre, the Brother of George Earl of March. A second daughter, married unto john Lion, Lord Glammys, but of what name, or by what woman these two were, appeareth not in record. royal blazon and crown of King Robert III of Scotland RObert Steward the third of that name, King of Scots, Earl of Carict, whose name was first john, succeeded his deceased Parent Robert the second, in the year of our Lord, 1390. He changed his name, as I conceive, for that he deemed the name of john, ominous & unfortunate; as first, being hateful in the Balliols'; and secondly, upon animadversion, that a king of France of that name was in battle taken prisoner by the English. This third Robert in a manner, waged continual warfare with England, but always with uncertain and unfortunate success. Who after he had reigned sixteen years, and seen David, one of his Sons made away by the subtlety of Robert Duke of Albany, & Earl of Fife, his Uncle; and his other Son james in declining, by the Treason of his said Uncle, to be captivated by the English, wherein he showed himself a Prince more virtuous than politic: for with the English, his child might have been in better security then amongst his own people; for money or marriage might have wrought his deliverance, as the event proved. Their own Annals record, that this Robert was a good man, but no good King. He died at Bucquhane, the fourth of the Calends of April, upon Palme-sunday, in the year of our Lord, 1406. and lieth buried at Paslet. From this time, for the term of thirteen years, was the kingdom governed by Lieutenants (viz.) Robert, and after him, by Mordac the son of Robert; which time being almost expired, james the Son of this Robert, being freely delivered out of England, returned, and took upon him the Royal Dignity. royal blazon and crown of Anabel, wife of King Robert III of Scotland ANabel, the Daughter of john Drummond de Stubhall, Knight, was wife unto this Robert the third. A Lady for her admirable beauty, dearly beloved of her husband. She died at Scone, 1401. and lieth buried at Dunfermeling. Their Issue David, their first borne Duke of Rothsay, who died of hunger. james, who succeeded his father in the kingdom, and was the first of that name. Egidia, married to Earl Dowglas, who had issue, one only daughter, married to Henry Sinclare, earl of the Orchades, from whom is descended William Earl of the Orchades. A Daughter married unto the Earl of Angus. A Daughter married unto the Earl of Dalketh. By what woman these th●ee daughters were, is not manifest by warrant of any of our records. royal blazon and crown of King James I of Scotland IAmes Stewart, the first of that name amongst the Scots, the son of Robert the third, after his long and tedious abode in England, upon certain conditions and covenants was freely delivered, and returning into Scotland, was readvanced to the regal throne in the year of grace, 1422. and in the next year following, he made his homage for the kingdom of Scotland, at windsor, unto Henry the sixth King of England his superior Lord, Anno. Dom. 1423. This james was a Prince of an excellent wit, very courageous; an excellent Wrestler, swift of foot, a good physician, and inferior to no man in eloquence of speech; all which, he had exquisitely learned in England, during the time of his long captivity. He was no less commendable for his Poesy in the Scottish tongue, whose Book and Verses even to this day, amongst the Scots, carry the prize and best commendation. By the Treachery of his Uncle the Earl of Athol (who ever carried an aspiring mind unto the kingdom) he was wounded to death with thirty deadly stabs, in the Town of Perth, the 21. of February, in the year of grace, 1447. and was buried at the Carthusians, in the one and thirtieth year of his reign, and the four and fortieth of his age: for whom, he himself had built an house in the Suburbs of the same Town. The parricides, the Earl of Athol, and Robert Graham were punished most cruelly, but most worthily. Graham was reported to have alleged for his excuse, that because the K. had proscribed and banished him, that therefore he was not his subject. So frivolous an excuse had the man of sin, for ever and ever infamous, taken for his presumptuous offence. Whereupon, the Scots have this Rithmicall Proverb in their own language amongst them: Robert Gramen, he slew our King, God give him schamen. royal blazon and crown of Jone, wife of King James I of Scotland IOne (the daughter of john Beaufort, Earl of Somerset in England, whom the said john begot upon the body of Margaret his wife, Duchess of Clarence, Sister & one of the coheirs of Edmund Holland, Earl of Kent) was wife unto this james the first King of Scotland, married unto him at London, in the year of our Lord, 1423. who after the death of King james, took to her second husband, james Steward, a young Gentleman, by whom she had three Sons; the first, called john, was Earl of Athol; the second, called james, was Earl of March, and the third son was thought to be Bishop of Murrey. She died the fourth of the Nones of March. Anno Dom. Their Issue. Alexander, who died an Jnfant. james, the second king of Scots after his father. Twins.

This King had three other Daughters, one married to the Earl of Camphire in Zealand. Another married to the Lord of Dalketh. Another to the Earl of Huntley. All died yssuelesse. By what Women these three Daughters were, is not manifest. royal blazon and crown of King James II of Scotland IAmes, the second son of james the first, after the death of his father, was made King of Scotland, in the year of our Lord, 1447. He was called james with the fiery face, because he had a very red mole on the one side of his face. This King, when he came to man's estate, grew very strong, & took to wife, the daughter of the Duke of Gheldres. He arrested the Earl of Douglas, William and David his Brothers, with Nicholine Hemming, Lord of Comirnald, at the Tower of Edinburgh, and caused them all to be beheaded upon the Mount within the said Castle. From this time, after the death of Douglas, he reigned Royally, and made Laws according to his own will; and afterward being at the siege of Roxborough Castle (which the English had long held) where he was very curious about the framing of warlike Engines to assault the Castle, was there slain by a great shot from the Castle, & the Earl of Angus standing by, was sorely wounded, the third day of August, in the year of our Lord, 1460. in the 29. year of his age, and the 24. of his reign. He was royally buried in the Monastery of S. Cross at Edinburgh. royal blazon and crown of Margaret, wife of King James II of Scotland MArgaret, Daughter to Arnoldus of Egmont, Duke of Gheldres (was wife unto the said james the second) descended anciently from the race of the Dukes of Brunswick.

In the beginning of his reign, he ruled all things in quiet order, but in his latter time, by adverse fortune, the most part of his Nobility conspired against him. He died at Sterling, in the year of our redemption, 1488. the xi. of june, in the 28. year of his reign. royal blazon and crown of Margaret, wife of King James III of Scotland MArgaret (Daughter of Christian King of Denmark and Norway) was wife to the said james the third, King of Scots. Their Issue. james the fourth King of Scots, after the death of his Father. john Steward, Earl of Marre, who died without issue. Alexander Steward, Bishop of Saint Andrew's, and Duke of Albany, died without issue. royal blazon and crown of King James IV of Scotland IAmes the fourth, after the death of his father james the third, got unto himself great power amongst the Scots, which for some years he very directly administered justice by the same, and brought the kingdom unto much quietness by his good government. Insomuch, that the great thefts, robberies, slaughters, and such like villainies which had been commonly used in Scotland, (about the borders especially) were every where almost utterly left off. But Lewes the French King used great and many persuasions unto King james, that he should not desist in these bloody enterprises, but rather increase than, and the rather, thereby to offend Henry King of England, whose Sister the said james had married, and with whom he had great league. At length through many hard persuasions and fair promises from the French King, he levied a great power, and at a time unexpected, invaded England, although (presently after it was known) he was admonished by King Henry, that although he were not ashamed of his deed, at least he should fear the judgement of Almighty God, who is wont to be revenged on the perturbers of peace, and the breakers of leagues. For that war being taken in hand against all faith, and league sworn, had like event, for by the English they were overthrown, and King james himself was slain in that battle, & with him, one Archbishop, two Bishops, four Abbots; Noblemen & Knights 34. besides 8000. common soldiers, and almost all the rest taken Captives, also all their Ensigns; and 22. great pieces of Ordinance.

Under this King there was divers conflicts, as well by land as by Sea, between both Nations. john Duke of Albany, Nephew to the deceased King, by the grave Counsel of the Realm, was sent for home out of France, to protect the young King, and to govern his land, and when he had assumed the government, presently after, he with the French, began to make war against the English, and all those great Lords whom he thought to have forsaken the King in his war, he put to death: for which cause, much distrusting his own safety, he returned into France, and King james now coming unto man's estate, he took to wife Magdalen, eldest daughter to Francis the French king, who lived not above one year with him. After whose death, he married Mary, daughter to the Duke of Guise; by whom he left one only daughter living. King james died with grief of mind, in the Castle of Falkeland, the xiv. of December, Anno. 1542. after whose death, james Earl of Arran Lord of Hamilton his Kinsman, was constituted Governor to the young Queen, and also her Tutor. royal blazon and crown of Magdalen, first wife of King James V of Scotland The first wife.

He for the said Queen Mary, waged war with the English, denying to give her in marriage to Edward the sixth, King of England, notwithstanding it was so agreed upon by the chief Peers of both kingdoms, which caused the battle at Musselborough field, where the English were Victors. The Duke of Somerset, Uncle & Protector to the King, and john Earl of Warwick, after made Duke of Northumberland, being Generals; at first, the battle grew doubtful on which side it would fall, but at length it happily fell on the English side, in the month of August, 1547.
