Legendary kings of Scotland

The Scottish Renaissance humanist George Buchanan gave a long list of Scottish Kings in his history of Scotland—published in Latin as ''Rerum Scoticarum Historia'' in 1582〔(Latin version online )〕〔(Listing in an English translation )〕—most of whom are now considered by historians to be figures of legend, or completely misrepresented. The list went back around 1900 years from his time, and began with Fergus I. James VI of Scotland, who was Buchanan's pupil, adopted the story of Fergus I as his ancestor, and the antiquity of the line was emphasised by the House of Stuart.
==Dynastic importance==
The genealogy of Scottish kings, going back to Fergus mac Ferchar (i.e. Fergus I) and beyond, was in place by the middle of the 13th century, when it was recited at the 1249 inauguration of Alexander III of Scotland.〔William Ferguson, ''The Identity of the Scottish Nation: an historic quest'' (1998), p. 37; (online at Google Books. )〕 In 1301 Baldred Bisset was involved in a hearing at the Papal Curia, on the Scottish side of the debate on Edward I of England's claims, and at least helped prepare material dealing with the mythological history that was being adduced as relevant, on both sides.
The question of the antiquity of the Scottish royal lineage, and even the details of the associated origin myth, became particularly significant from 1542 when Mary, Queen of Scots came to the Scottish throne. Buchanan alluded to Mary's long ancestry in his ''Epithalamium'' written for her 1559 marriage to Francis II of France.〔George Buchanan, edited by Paul J. McGinnis and Arthur H. Williamson, ''The Political Poetry'' (1995), p. 24 and p. 134.〕 In the period before Mary's betrothal, a marriage to Prince Edward, the future Edward VI of England, was much discussed. As part of that debate, the list of legendary kings of Britain became involved, in the form of the "Brutus myth", promoted by Edward Hall over the doubts of Polydore Vergil. Publicists on the English side of the argument, including John Elder, James Henrisoun, and William Lamb, had cast doubt on the Scottish history.〔Marcus Merriman, ''The Rough Wooings: Mary Queen of Scots 1542–1551'' (2000), pp. 42–46.〕
When James VI entered Edinburgh in 1579 the pageantry included a public posting of the genealogy of the Scottish kings; and when his son Charles I visited in 1633, portraits of
107 kings were displayed, some of which (by George Jamesone) survive.〔Elizabeth McGrath, ''Local Heroes: the Scottish Humanist Parnassus for Charles I'', p. 258, in Edward Chaney and Peter Mack (editors), ''England and the Continental Renaissance'' (1990).〕〔http://www.abdn.ac.uk/noblecollege/art.htm〕 Another series of 110 imagined portraits of the monarchs from the list was painted for Charles II by Jacob de Wet II, and hung in Holyrood Palace. The de Wet portrait collection later became a noted sight for tourists, for example as written about by John Macky, ''A Journey through Scotland''.〔http://www.scotsites.co.uk/ebooks/travellerstales7.htm〕
