Abstract

I argue that there are three principal categories of royal act in Scotland during the period 1100 to 1250: the Brieve, the Letter of Notification, and the Charter. (There are also diplomas, proclamations, treaties, letters of correspondence, and so on, but these were not produced (or at least not preserved) in large enough quantities to be significant in this context.) This article describes how the Brieve became standardised in form.
