The lands of the Scottish kings in England

In this book Miss Moore has for the first time told the full and connected history of the lands in England held by the kings of Scotland. She has related how these lands came into the hands of the Scottish kings, the conditions under which they were held, and the various fortunes which attended their retention. The book, it may be said, has a twofold interest. In the four concluding chapters we have an interesting contribution to our knowledge of mediaeval social and economic conditions, based on original documents relating to the lands in question. It has but another and a wider interest. The holding of English lands by Scottish kings vitally concerned the political relations of the two kingdoms, and, so far as Scotland was concerned, the persistent effort to retain them constituted during a century and a half her whole foreign policy. – ASIN: B08JB1GQ79 | ISBN13: 9798686802384 | ISBN-13: 979-8686802384
