About This Book

A concise historical survey traces political, military, and cultural relations between England and Scotland from the early medieval period through the dynastic and constitutional processes that produced union. The narrative examines shifting patterns of settlement and feudal organization, the impact of Norman and English influence, cycles of warfare and diplomacy, and later religious and political unrest; appendices treat Highland society, the feudalization process, and the competitors for succession.
