Gesta Annalia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gesta Annalia ("Yearly Deeds") is an important medieval chronicle detailing the history of Scotland.

The history seems to be split into two main sections. Whilst Gesta Annalia I seems to concern events to February 1285, Gesta Annalia II appears to concern events between October 1285 to 1363.[1] The composition of Gesta Annalia I was likely completed in 1285, between February and the middle of April.[2]
