This book explores the formative period when Scotland acquired the
characteristics that enabled it to enter fully into the comity of
medieval Christendom. These included a monarchy of a recognisably
continental type, a feudal organisation of aristocratic landholding
and military service, national boundaries, and a body of settled
law and custom. By the end of the thirteenth century Scotland had a
church based on territorial dioceses and parishes, centres of
learning including monastic houses representing the main orders of
western Europe, and thriving urban communities whose economic power
counterbalanced the aristocracy's. How and to what effect these
characteristics were acquired are the main subjects of the book.
After the introduction eighteen chapters are divided into three
parts devoted to government, church and society. The volume
comprises some of the most important as well as the most
consistently readable work ever published on medieval Scotland.
First published in 1973, it is now reissued in an updated edition.
Three additional chapters are included: on the Scots and the north
of England in the time of King Stephen, on the Anglo-Scottish
border in the middle ages, and on King David I and the church of
Glasgow. The book also appears in paperback for the first time.
