Nor do after the saying of Robert the Bruse.
Away he ’gan him drawe; his conseil to refuse:
Robert, with a knife, the Comyn there he smote;
Through which wound his life he lost, well I wote.
He went to the high altar, and stood and rested him there;
Came Robert’s squire, and wounded him well more;
For he will not consent to raise no follye,
Nor do as he meant, to gin to make partie
Against king Edward, Scotland to dereyne.”
These four writers are all contemporary witnesses; they all had access to the best sources of information, and they wrote at the very time. Many other and similar accounts might be cited, but these are sufficient.
