About this title

Synopsis

"The Bulk Of The Chronicles Of Scotland: Or, A Metrical Version Of The History Of Hector Boece, Issue 6" by Hector Boece. This volume serves as a scholarly reference for a medieval British history work, featuring a glossary, an errata list, and an extensive index to assist readers of the Chronicles and Memorials. The glossary defines historical terms, names, places, and feudal/legal concepts, providing variant spellings, cross-references, and explanatory notes across Roman, Pictish, Scottish, and English contexts. The errata list includes typographical and factual corrections across multiple pages and lines, including revisions related to Volume II and associated sections. The index is an alphabetical catalogue detailing people (kings, nobles, church figures), places (abbeys, towns, counties), battles, fortresses, monasteries, councils, and key topics such as dynastic lineages, feudal offices, ecclesiastical foundations, invasions, Norse and Roman interactions, and historiographic material. Framing front matter situates these works within a government-commissioned series on Great Britain and Ireland during the Middle Ages, with advertising for other titles. This volume emphasizes aframework for medieval Scottish and British history rather than narrative prose.
