Scalacronica (1066-1362) is a Scottish chronicle written in Anglo-Norman by the knight Sir Thomas Gray of Heaton in Northumberland, while he was imprisoned by the Scots at Edinburgh after an ambush in 1355. The chronicle documents the history of Britain, and is known as one of the first historical documents to be written by a member of the nobility in England. The chronicle shows the political perspectives of England's governing class on the rest of the world. Although it is based upon other sources existing at the time, Sir Thomas Gray did use his memory and the folklore he had heard from his father when he was young to complete the section describing Edward I and onwards.
