These six poems explore some of the courtly and chivalric themes that preoccupied late medieval Scottish society. The volume includes Sir David Lyndsay's
Historie and
Testament of Squyer Meldrum, as well as his
Answer to the Kingis Flyting; and three anonymous fifteenth-century poems:
Balletis of the Nine Nobles,
Complaint for the Death of Margaret, Princess of Scotland, and
Talis of the Fyve Bestes.
