Outlaws of Medieval Scotland: Challenges to the Canmore Kings, 1058-1266 Book

Demonstrating how the so-called Canmore kings in Scotland maintained their grip on power in large measure through crushing rivals and quashing numerous insurrections, this book shows how their claim to be the founders of the medieval kingdom is valid. It emphasizes how violence and military confrontations in the consolidation of their power played a vital role in how the medieval kingdom was formed. From well-known events like Somerled's invasion of 1164 to lesser-known challenges like that from Donald MacWilliam in the 1180s, leaders of insurrection, their aims and motivations, their military capabilities, and the reasons behind their failure are explored as well as the overall impact of violence and insurrection upon the Scottish kingdom.Read More
