Andrew of Wyntoun

Andrew of Wyntoun (c. 1350 – c. 1425) was a Scottish poet, a canon and prior of Loch Leven on St Serf's Inch and, later, a canon of St Andrews. He is most famous for his completion of a poem in eight-syllabled metre entitled Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland, which contains an early mention of Robin Hood. The subject of the Cronykil is the history of Scotland from the mythical period to the death of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany in 1420.
