About This Book

The author surveys centuries of Anglo-Scottish relations, narrating successive efforts to unite the two kingdoms from medieval claims and invasions through later negotiations, the union achieved under a republican government, and the debates after the Restoration and during the Revolution settlement. The narrative interweaves diplomatic history, parliamentary politics, and public sentiment, giving particular attention to the ecclesiastical disputes that repeatedly complicated union proposals and to changing attitudes that shaped each negotiated settlement.
