here’s uhh a selected part of john bellenden’s translation of hector boece’s historia gentis scotorum, i picked out the arthurian parts from the ascent of uther pendragon to the death of arthur. 

uhh for one this was written in the 16th century and i am pretty sure it was written in scots so if you know that language you might have an easier time reading this, but i think it is very interesting in the way it tells the story! here modred is not a traitor but the rightful heir of the british throne which makes it notable hehe. 

the full volume one and volume two are up on internet archive for free reading btw
