	John of Fordun
		We are informed that Fordun's patriotic zeal was roused by the removal or destruction of many national records by Edward III and that he travelled in England and Ireland, collecting material for his history.
		These materials were used by a continuator who wrote in the middle of the 15th century, and who is identified with Walter Bower, abbot of the monastery of Inchcolm.
		In 1871 and 1872 Fordun's chronicle, in the original Latin and in an English translation, was edited by William F Skene in The Historians of Scotland.

	Significant Scots - John Fordun
		FORDUN, or DE FORDUN, JOHN, the celebrated author of the "Scotichronicon," was probably born about the middle of the fourteenth century, and at the village of Fordun, in Kincardineshire, from which he seems to have taken his name.
		The result of Fordun’s labours is, that we possess an account of several ages of Scottish history, which otherwise would have been in a great measure blank.
		The two first of the five books into which he divides his work may be laid aside, as relating only to the fabulous part of the history; the last refers to the period between 1056, and 1153, and is a valuable piece of history.

	The Scottish Tradition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		John of Fordun's 14th century "Scottichronicon" or "Chronicle of the Scots" is the most important source for the Scottish traditions of the Irish Milesian legends.
		Far from being corrupt, Fordun's history of the Scots is in fact the key to tracing the early development of the Milesian legends, serving as a bridge between Nennius' "Historiam Britonum" and the earliest forms of the legend which survive in both Irish and Scottish manuscript.
		John of Fordun begins his version of the Milesian legend with a certain "Neolus or Heolus," king of one of the countries of Greece.

		This work, undertaken in 1440 by desire of a neighbour, Sir David Stewart of Rosyth, was a continuation of the Chronica Genus Scotorum of John of Fordun.
		The completed work, in its original form, consisted of sixteen books, of which the first five and a portion of the sixth (to 1163) are Fordun's--or mainly his, for Bower added to them at places.
		In the later books, down to the reign of Robert I (1371), he was aided by Fordun's Gesta Annalia, but from that point to the close the work is original and of contemporary importance, especially for James I, with whose death it ends.
