This ambitious book, newly available in paperback, 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.
