And he then learned that the king with a small company was on a visit to a woman at Merantun [Merton]; and he there beset him and surrounded the bower, before the men discovered him who were with the king. And when the king perceived that, he went to the door, and then gallantly defended himself, until he looked on the aetheling, and then rushed out on him and sorely wounded him; and they were all fighting against the king until they had slain him ....

The Scoti Chronicon of Walter Bower, or Walter Bowmaker, appeared in 1441, and comprises Fordun's Chronicle down to the year 1153, with a continuation by Bower to 1436.

This begins at the Creation and comes down to the year 1408. Its author, born about the middle of the fourteenth century, was elected prior of the monastery of St. Serf's Inch in Loch Leven about 1395, where he continued for nearly twenty years, and afterwards became canon of St. Andrews. The Chronicle was compileted between the years 1420 and 1424. It is written in verse, and for that reason is not so valuable as it would have been in another form. Still, this writer is more often quoted than any other Scottish historian of the period. Like Bower, he gives a contemporary account of events in the latter half of the fourteenth and beginning of the fifteenth century. ==== BAUER Mailing List ==== To unsubscribe from the BAUER discussion list, send a message to BAUER-L-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) or BAUER-D-request@rootsweb.com (digest) with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
