Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough. In the year of our Lord 1303, after the truce had expired, the king sent the strength of his army into Scotland under Sir John de Segrave [aged 47] and his brothers, for they were very valiant knights. Thinking themselves in no danger, and being near Edinburgh at the beginning of Lent, and unaware of the Scots' ambush, our men divided into three companies, each about two leagues apart from the others. Sir John himself, with three hundred men-at-arms, was the nearest to the enemy, who lay hidden from him. Then, early at dawn on the first Sunday of Lent [24th February 1303], one of his own squires came and told him that the enemy was at hand, advising him to rejoin his companions, for together they need have no fear. But he refused, unwilling that a blemish should be set on his courage by seeming to retreat. Instead, armed, he advanced to meet them. Many fell on both sides, and Sir John himself was grievously wounded and taken prisoner. More than twenty chosen knights were captured with him. Yet when some of our men from the second company arrived, they seized him from his guards and carried him away. Also slain there was Sir Ralph le Coffrere, who was in the king's pay. The rest returned to England, bringing the king ill news.
Anno Domini MCCCII, elapsis treugis, misit rex robur exercitus in Scotiam, cum domino Johanne de Segrave et fratribus suis, erant enim milites strenuissimi. Cumque non timerent sibi, et essent juxta Edeneburgh, in principio Quadragesimæ, nec scirent Scotorum insidias, diviserunt se nostri per tres turmas, et distabant ab invicem quasi per duas leucas. Eratque ipse dominus Johannes cum trecentis armatis proximior hostibus, qui latebant eum. Et ecce puer unus ex suis summo diluculo primæ Dominicæ Quadragesimæ veniens, nunciavit ei hostes ad manum esse; consuluitque ut reverteretur ad consocios, et conglobati non timerent. Sed noluit suæ strenuitati notam impingi ut retrocederet; imo armatus processit eis obviam, cecideruntque multi hinc et inde, et ipse letaliter vulneratus est et captus. Captique sunt cum eo plusquam viginti milites electi; sed supervenientibus quibusdam ex nostris de secunda turma, rapuerunt eum a custodibus suis et abduxerunt. Corruit etiam ibi dominus Radulphus le Coffrere, qui ex parte regis stipendia ministrabat. Et reversi sunt alii in Angliam, deferentes sinistra nova regi.

Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough
A canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: 'In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed.'
