About this Event
'Who was Andrew of Wyntoun, and why does he matter? Join a panel of historians as they discuss the legacy of the much neglected Fife-based chronicler Andrew of Wyntoun (died c.1420), author of a rhyming history of the Scottish kingdom, the so-called Original Chronicle, that was one of the earliest large-scale works written in vernacular Scots and one of the most popular and copied manuscripts in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Scotland.'
