Remonstrance to the King is a Scots poem of William Dunbar (born 1459 or 1460) composed in the early sixteenth century. The Remonstrance is one of Dunbar's many appeals to his patron James IV of Scotland asking for personal advancement. In this particular case, the unseemly personal pleading is combined with more dignified subject matter; lavish praise and pointed criticism of the King's court is delivered in an open manner. The text of Remonstrance To The King is preserved in the Maitland Folio Manuscript.
