Books, Manuscripts
Kingship was the defining feature of medieval Scotland. The monarchy provided the Scots with a focus for national identity and gave Scotland a recognised status in Europe. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries formed a unique era for Scottish kingship, in which kings achieved new status and power, while facing fresh challenges to their authority and legitimacy. The essays in this volume focus on individual reigns and particular themes as a means to create a synthesis of research from the last quarter century, and give fresh insights into the exercise of kingship in a late medieval realm.
