Abstract
From its dramatic beginning with the accidental death of King Alexander III of Scotland on 19 March 1286 to King Edward I's death in Burgh by Sands on 7 July 1307, the Anglo-Scottish conflict naturally looms large in all modern monographs about Edward I and in histories of his reign. Pierre de Langtoft's Chronicle , written in the French of England, and covering Britain's history from Brutus to the death of Edward I, was compiled in the last years of Edward's life; it probably reached completion shortly after Edward's death. The disparately long section in the Chronicle that relates to the reign of Edward I is unique in that it contains a large number of rough songs in northern dialect in which the Scots are reviled and ridiculed. Early fourteenth-century commemorative poems and comments on Edward's death unanimously recall Edward's martial efforts and his bravery in war. Keywords: Anglo-Scottish conflict; King Edward I; Pierre de Langtoft's Chronicle
