A copy of the Declaration of Arbroath. On 6 April 1320 CE a letter was sent to the Pope requesting a withdrawal of Robert the Bruce’s excommunication and the placing of Scotland under an interdict, both applied because Robert had refused to sign a truce with England back in 1317 CE. The contents of the letter also boldly stated that Scotland was a free and independent kingdom and the English Crown had no rights whatsoever there. This impressive document is festooned with the seals of eight earls and 38 barons.
