John of Fordun's Chronicle. 107. Conflict of Roslyn
On the 27th of July 13021, [Note. The date here confusing since the Battle of Roslyn is reported to have taken place on 24th February 1303] took place the great and famous engagement between the Scots and English, at Roslyn, where the English were defeated, though with great difficulty. From the beginning of the first war which ever broke out between the Scots and English, it is said, there never was so desperate a struggle, or one in which the stoutness of knightly prowess shone forth so brightly. The commander and leader in this struggle was John Comyn (age 33), the son.
