After the death of Queen Margaret, the King married Isabel, daughter of the Earl of Druix; and Sir Thomas told within a few months of an earthquake at Kinghorn, that would make Scotland tremble. An express accordingly came to Clyde to Sir Thomas, that the king had fell from his horse at Kinghorn, and broke his neck. Alexander left no heir, except a grandchild, Margaret, daughter of the King of Norway. She, also, soon died. A short time before her death, she was betrothed to Edward, King of England. After this, there were great commotions anent the succession of the crown of Scotland, which occasioned great bloodshed, particularly betwixt Bruce and Baliol, which are recorded in the Scottish history.
The pride of Spain, and the deceitful conduct of the French, as also concerning the Dutch, was foresold. Likewise the battle of Torwood, Bothwel Bridge, Killicrankie, Sheriff-muir, Preston, Falkirk, and Culloden.
In forty-five, eighty-two, and three,
Sir Thomas' works do certify.
