John Blair |
|
BLAIR, JOHN, a churchman of noble family, who,
being compelled by the tyranny of Edward I. in Scotland to join the bands
of Sir William Wallace, became chaplain to that hero, and did not scruple
also to take a share in his battles. He wrote an account of the deeds of
Wallace, which is now lost, but is supposed to have furnished materials to
Blind Harry. Another work of Blair’s was styled, "De Liberata
Tyrannide Scotia."
