`A Defence or Vindication of the Scottish History and of the Scottish Historians wherein the ancient race of the Scottish Kings ther ancient possession in this island of Great Britain and the antiquity and dignity of the Scottish Church are asserted and the objections of the Bishop of St Asaph are answered`, a condensed version of an apparently unpublished treatise by Sir Robert Sibbald.
William Lloyd, Bishop of St Asaph had published ‘An Historical Account of Church Government as it was in Great Britain and Ireland. When they first received the Christian religion’; as a result a controversy arose among Scottish historians concerning the origins of the Scots.
