Abstract

On 8 March 1291, Edward I sent out a writ under his privy seal addressed to Evesham abbey. Not all the text survives but what does is clear:¹ We command and enjoin you [the abbot and convent], by the faith and love which binds you to us, to scrutinize your chronicles, and everything which you find there concerning those things which touch our kingdom and the governance of Scotland—whatever it may be—you must, without delay, send it to us under your seal. Just as we trust in you, so too should you not fail to do this. Edward
