From legendary beginnings to the turmoil of the later Middle Ages, Andrew of Wyntoun tells Scotland's story in the language of his own age. History here sings in verse. The Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland is a remarkable medieval Scottish chronicle, a verse chronicle of Scotland that moves from the imagined origins of Scotland and Scottish national foundation myths to vivid accounts of Scottish kings and battles and the shifting powers of late medieval Scotland history. Composed by a monastic prior around 1420, it stands alongside the John of Fordun chronicle as one of the key medieval history primary sources for understanding how Scots in the Middle Ages saw their past, their saints, and their kingdom. This Alpha Editions volume presents Volume I of Wyntoun's work as issued in Volume II of the classic Historians of Scotland series, a scholarly edition Scottish chronicle valued by academic Scottish history study yet inviting enough for general readers of Middle Ages Britain history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for anyone exploring the origins of Scotland or building a serious library of medieval history primary sources, it brings a foundational Scottish voice back into circulation for readers, researchers, and collectors alike.
