The
Declaration of Arbroath 1320
___
The
Declaration of Arbroath, known also as the Scottish
Declaration of Independence, is the best known and
most treasured document in Scottish history. It is
a letter from the earls and barons of Scotland to
the Pope during the War of Independence, expressing
the country's independent national identity and asking
him to urge the English King to cease his aggression
towards Scotland.
The
Declaration
of Arbroath was
drafted on the 6th April 1320,
a day the United States of America has declared to
be Tartan Day, and like
the American
Declaration of Independence is seen by many as the
founding document of the Scottish nation.
'It is in truth not
for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting,
but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest
man gives up but with life itself.'
Extract from the Declaration of Arbroath, 1320.
The
Declaration of Arbroath
which was written in Latin was sent to Pope John XXII
in April/May of 1320. History reveals it was most
likely drafted in the scriptorium of Arbroath Abbey
by Abbot Bernard de Linton on behalf of the barons
and nobles
of Scotland. It was one of three letters that was
sent to the Pope in Avignon, the other two being from
King Robert the Bruce himself and from four Scottish
bishops, attempting to abate papal hostility.
It
received
the seals of several Scottish barons
and, under the extraordinary circumstances of the
Wars of Independence, was a prototype of contractual
kingship in Europe.
