The Acts of William I King of Scots 1165-1214 Edited by G. W. S. Barrow The second volume of the Regesta Regum Scottorum contains the 527 surviving written acts (charters, letters, brieves, etc.) of William I, 'The Lion', King of Scots from 1165 to 1214, together with a calendar of some 70 or more 'lost acts' for which evidence survives. Each act is preceded by a short summary in English of the contents. An introductory section deals with the life and reign of William I, laying stress on the less well-known aspects of his reign. The Introduction also provides a skeleton itinerary of the King and notes on the methods of dating and editing. The Regesta Regum Scottorum series has already made available in print a definitive edition of the written acts of several of the medieval kings of Scotland. It remains a standard reference for Scottish, British and European scholars interested in the history of royal chanceries, the evolution of medieval royal government and the growth of literate modes of expression in the Middle Ages.
