1405historical_info = flavor_sco.19.historical_info The Chronica Gentis Scotorum consists of two parts, the Gesta Annalia I and Gesta Annalia II. The Gesta Annalia I ends in 1285 in the reign of Alexander. It collects records of previous chroniclers and is added to Fordun's work, the Gesta Annalia II. His work entails the years between 1285 and 1363. In addition to the yearly recordings, the work contains a supposed unbroken line of the Scottish kings to Fergus Mór the mythological founder of Scotland. Motivated by the destruction of Scottish documents this work contributed to the Scottish National Identity that developed during the Scottish Independence Wars.
