The Scottish Chaucerians were a group of late medieval Scottish poets, including King James I, Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, and Gavin Douglas, who adapted Geoffrey Chaucer's influence to Scottish writing. They wrote in Middle Scots and often used Chaucer's forms, narrative style, and courtly themes, while giving them a distinctly Scottish voice.
Example
In Henryson's verse, a courtly lesson arrives in Middle Scots:
soft irony, sharp moral sense,
and echoes of Chaucer shaping the line.
