THOMAS OF ERCELDOUNE , called also THE RHYMER, and sometimes given the surname of LEARMONT (ft. ? 1220-? 1297), poet and See also:prophet in the legendary literature of See also:Scotland. The See also:historical See also:person of that name figures in two charters of the 13th See also:century, and from these it appears that he owned lands in Erceldoune (now Earlstoun), in See also:Berwickshire, which were made over by his son and See also:heir on the 2nd of See also:November 1294 to the See also:foundation of the See also:Holy Trinity at Soltra (or Soutra) on the See also:borders of the same See also:county. This would seem to imply that Thomas the Rhymer was already dead, but J. A. H. See also:- MURRAY

Murray, who edited The See also:Romance and Prophecies (E.E.T.S., 1875), thinks that he was living three years later in a Cluniac priory in See also:Ayrshire. He figures in the See also:works of See also:Barbour and Harry the See also:Minstrel as the sympathizing contemporary of their heroes, and See also:Walter See also:Bower, who continued the Scotichronicon of See also:Fordun, tells how he prophesied the See also:death of See also:Alexander III. in 1285. Barbour makes the See also:bishop of St See also:Andrews in 1306 See also:express a See also:hope that a prophecy of Thomas referring to See also:Bruce will come true; and See also:Wyntoun says that he foretold the See also:battle of Kilblane. In the folk-See also:lore of Scotland his name is associated with numerous fragments of See also:verse of a gnomic and prophetic See also:character. The
