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.

Book Synopsis The Northern Earldoms by : Barbara E. Crawford
Download or read book The Northern Earldoms written by Barbara E. Crawford and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval earldoms of Orkney and Caithness were positioned between two worlds, the Norwegian and the Scottish. They were a maritime lordship divided, or united, by the turbulent waters of the Pentland Firth. This unlikely combination of island and mainland territory survived as a single lordship for 600 years, against the odds. Growing out of the Viking maelstrom of the early Middle Ages, it became an established and wealthy principality which dominated northern waters, with a renowned dynasty of earls. Despite their peripheral location these earls were fully in touch with the kingdoms of Norway and Scotland and increasingly subject to the rulers of these kingdoms. How they maintained their independence and how they survived the clash of loyalties are themes explored in this book from the early Viking age to the late medieval era when the powerful feudal Sinclair earls ruled the islands and regained possession of Caithness. This is a story of the time when the Northern Isles of Scotland were part of a different national entity which explains the background to the non-Gaelic culture of this locality, when links across the North Sea were as important as links with the kingdom of Scotland to the south.

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.
