It is used to refer to people or things of Norman, Anglo-Norman, [French](/source/France) or even [Flemish](/source/Flemings) or [Breton](/source/Breton_people) origin,[1][2] but who are associated with [Scotland in the Middle Ages](/source/Scotland_in_the_Middle_Ages) like Scoto-Anglo-Saxon.[1][*[page needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources)*][2][*[dead link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot)*] It is also used for any of these things where they exhibit [syncretism](/source/Syncretism) between [French](/source/French_culture) or Anglo-French culture on the one hand and [Gaelic culture](/source/Gaelic_culture) on the other. For instance, the [Kings of Scotland](/source/Kings_of_Scots) between the reign of the [David I](/source/David_I_of_Scotland) and the [Stewart](/source/House_of_Stewart) period are often described as Scoto-Norman. A classic case of Gaelic and French cultural syncretism would be [Lochlann](/source/Lochlann%2C_Lord_of_Galloway), [Lord of Galloway](/source/Lords_of_Galloway), who used both a Gaelic (*Lochlann*) and French name (*Roland*), and kept followers of both languages. Another example of a Scoto-Norman would be [Robert the Bruce](/source/Robert_the_Bruce). The term is used by historians as an alternative to Anglo-Norman when that term pertains to Scotland. It was first used in 1829, in P. F. Tytler's *History of Scotland*.[1][2] ## See also - [Anglo-Norman](/source/Anglo-Normans) - [Cambro-Norman](/source/Cambro-Norman) - [Hiberno-Norman](/source/Norman_Irish) - [Norse-Gaels](/source/Norse-Gaels) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-auto_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-auto_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-auto_1-2) Tytler, Patrick Fraser (26 October 1841).
