Regiam Majestatem, a collection of ancient laws bearing to have been compiled by order of David I., king of Scotland. The authenticity of the work has been controverted, the prevalent opinion being that it is a compilation from Glanville's Tractatus. Some authorities attribute the collecting of it to a commission of Edward I., others to an unknown author after the war of independence (14th century).
