Late Medieval Scotland and the Matter of Britain
Late Medieval Scotland and the Matter of Britain
This chapter investigates the ways in which late medieval Scottish chroniclers accommodated the Brut legends and the stories of Arthur. Both represented English imperialist propaganda and were, potentially at least, virulently anti-Scottish. But Scottish chroniclers confidently assimilated such material while with equal certitude they cannily traced the royal line of Scotland through St Margaret to the kingship of Edward the Confessor.
Keywords: late medieval Scottish chroniclers, Brut legends, Arthur, English imperialist propaganda, St Margaret, Edward the Confessor
