This ambitious book examines the encounter between Gaels and
Europeans in Scotland in the central Middle Ages, offering new
insights into an important period in the formation of the Scots'
national identity. It is based on a close reading of the texts of
several thousand charters, indentures, brieves and other written
sources that record the business conducted in royal and baronial
courts across the length and breadth of the medieval kingdom
between 1150 and 1400. Under the broad themes of land, law and
people, this book explores how the customs, laws and traditions of
the native inhabitants and those of incoming settlers interacted
and influenced each other. Drawing on a range of theoretical and
methodological approaches, the author places her subject matter
firmly within the recent historiography of the British Isles and
demonstrates how the experience of Scotland was both similar to,
and a distinct manifestation of, a wider process of
Europeanisation.
