Investiture Scrolls for Collin and Marion

Collin's and Marion's Investiture texts were created out of the same document, a charter of James III of Scotland confirming lands held by the Bishop of Glasgow, 15 July 1476.  The source document was extremely long, so I cut the pertinent parts I was lifting from it in half, effectively granting to Collin and Marion each a portion of the rights given to the Bishop.  I’d say about 90% of each of these texts is from the original source.  The SCA-specific parts are, of course, created by me.  In particular, the long list of properties and technical legal terms found in Marion’s text is exactly what the King of Scotland granted to the Bishop as his landed vassal.  Yes, I do have the definitions for all of the various weird Scottish legal terms found in Marion’s text.  If people are interested, I can post those separately.
