The story of how Robert the Bruce was crowned King of Scotland and how Edward I went to war again against the Scots. The rubricator has missed out the heading for the death of William Wallace and the consecutive rubrications are all one step ahead of the text. Written space is 235 x 190 mm, 2 columns with 34 lines. The script is in a secretary hand with some influence from anglicana.
