This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Oppressions of the Sixteenth Century in the Islands of Orkney and Zetland', edited by David Balfour, offers a rare glimpse into the tumultuous history of two remote and often-overlooked Scottish islands. Drawing on original manuscripts and state papers, the book details the centuries of abuse, misrule, and neglect endured by the inhabitants of Orkney and Zetland, from the days of Norse rule to their incorporation into Scotland and the United Kingdom. Despite the islands' strategic location and abundant natural resources, they have been treated as little more than a source of revenue by successive governments and courtiers, with their pleas for justice and self-determination falling on deaf ears. Balfour's meticulously researched work sheds light on this forgotten corner of British history and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and greed.

Download or read book The Fish Lands written by Bart Holterman and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late medieval German trade with the North Atlantic islands, in the margins of the Hanseatic trade network, has received only limited scholarly attention. Merchants from predominantly Hamburg and Bremen established direct trade relations with these islands in the late 15th century, and managed to control the international trade with Iceland, the Faroes and Shetland for much of the 16th century. However, the Hanseatic commercial infrastructure was absent in the North Atlantic, which forced these merchants to develop new trade strategies. Besides a critical re-evaluation of the economic and political conditions, this volume offers a comprehensive study of the organisation of the trade and the methods used to establish and maintain networks between islanders and German merchants. Moreover, it analyses the role and socio-economic position of the communities of merchants with the North Atlantic in their home towns. The book shows that the North Atlantic trade was anything but insignificant. It was a dynamic and integral part of the trade network of the northern German cities, and its study is highly relevant for the economic history of Northern Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the experiences and interconnections of the Reformations, principally in Denmark-Norway and Britain and Ireland (but with an eye to the broader Scandinavian landscape as well), and also discusses instances of similarities between the Reformations in both realms.

Book Synopsis The Stewart Earls of Orkney by : Peter David Anderson
Download or read book The Stewart Earls of Orkney written by Peter David Anderson and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost a century the islands of Orkney and Shetland were under the rule of the Stewart earls, father and son, a rule remarkable for its infamous reputation in island history. Robert Stewart was an illegitimate son of James V, king of Scots, who seized power in Orkney in the 1560s and was created earl of Shetland in 1581. Robert's son was the extraordinary and ill-starred Earl Patrick, 'Black Patie', whose execution for treason in 1615 brought the era to a close. This book has its foundations in two previous books by Peter Anderson, one on each character.
Book Synopsis Essays on the Nobility of Medieval Scotland by : Keith Stringer
Download or read book Essays on the Nobility of Medieval Scotland written by Keith Stringer and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2004-07-12 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book, all by distinguished historians, illuminate the main activities, preoccupations and aspirations of the families whose territorial power and local leadership made them a central factor in medieval Scottish society. Issues discussed include the influence of Anglo-Norman England on earlier medieval Scotland, patterns of land accumulation by the aristocracy, noble residences, the legal and administrative aspects of baronial lordship, clientage, and dealings between magnates and the Church. Throughout, the essays stress the importance of recognising that, before the Wars of Independence, the nobility of Scotland was closely bound by ties of kinship and property with the nobility in England and emphasise that the common assumption of perpetual opposition between baronage and the Crown is a myth. First published in 1985, these essays remain essential reading on the subject.
