Kings, Lords and Men in Scotland and Britain, 1300-1625

Sinopse

This book celebrates the work of Dr Jenny Wormald and her impact on the study of late medieval and early modern Scottish and British history. The contributors tackle questions including: How far can medieval themes such as 'lordship' function in the late 16th-century world of Reformation and state formation? How did the Scottish realm fit into wider British and European patterns? What did it mean for Scotland to be a 'medieval' kingdom, and when did it cease to be one? Ranging from the 14th to the 17th century, the book analyses the ties that bound pre-modern societies together.
