Download or read book The Lordship of Galloway written by Richard D. Oram and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2001-02-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In viewing Galloway from the wider context of the northern British mainland, Irish Sea and wider Hebridean zone, it has been possible to explore the dynamics of state-building, dynastic interactions, and the close inter-relationships of the territories connected by the western seaways, which most traditional 'national' histories obscure. From this wider perspective, the development of the lordship of Galloway can be considered in the context of the spreading power and regional rivalries of English, Irish and Scottish kings, and a reassessment of the emergence of the unitary lordship controlled by Fergus of Galloway and his family. Traditional interpretations of the relationship of Fergus and his successors with the kings of England and Scotland are challenged and new light is thrown on the beginnings of the processes of progressive domination of Galloway by, and integration into, the kingdom of the Scots. The end of the autonomous lordship in the 1230s is projected against the backdrop of the aggressive state-building activities of King Alexander II and the transformation of its rulers from independently minded princes and warlords into Anglo-Scottish barons.

Book Synopsis England and Scotland at War, c.1296-c.1513 by :
Download or read book England and Scotland at War, c.1296-c.1513 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-Scottish wars of the late Middle Ages have long attracted scholarly attention, but studies focussing on the military aspects of the conflict over the longue durée and from both sides of the border have been lacking. In this collection of essays covering the years between the battles of Dunbar (1296) and Flodden (1513), Andy King and David Simpkin bring together leading historians in the field to consider afresh the armies and soldiers engaged in the wars, while also reflecting on the conflict's impact either side of the border. At a time when military history is undergoing a renaissance, the Anglo-Scottish wars offer a case-study not only of military institutions but also of the contributions made by individuals and communities. Contributors are Amanda Beam, Steve Boardman, Michael Brown, Sean Cunningham, Claire Etty, Jonathan Gledhill, David Grummitt, Andy King, Alastair Macdonald, Iain MacInnes, Gordon Pentland, David Simpkin, Andrew Spencer, Katie Stevenson and Thea Summerfield.

Book Synopsis Supernatural Revolution by : Jamie Galloway
Download or read book Supernatural Revolution written by Jamie Galloway and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supernatural Revolution tells you how to bring the realm of the supernatural into an active reality in your life. Written with passion, humility, and expectancy, Supernatural Revolution is about what God is accomplishing. Author Jamie Galloway vividly describes what he sees happening supernaturally, and demonstrates through his own worldwide supernatural experiences how to walk in this lifestyle. A supernatural revolution is taking place—now. An unprecedented move of the Spirit of God is covering the earth and you are invited into the very heart of this movement. It is a time of glory, destiny, and a great awakening of the people of God to take their place in history as the most awesome company of believers the world has ever seen. Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness (Matthew 9:35 NIV). Each chapter concludes with a “Call to Action” that gives practical application to the teachings. Biblically-charged and Holy Spirit inspired advice includes: “When the Lord wakes you up in the night…pray in the Spirit and watch your dream life go to the next level. Worship and intercede and you will start to see things in the supernatural as the Lord begins to share the secrets of His heart.”

Download or read book Historic Whithorn written by and published by Scottish Burgh Survey. This book was released on 2010 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated at a southern tip of Galloway, in the old county of Wigtownshire, the historic burgh of Whithorn is one of the oldest Christian sites in the UK. The origins of the settlement date back to the mid-fifth century AD and the first monastery may have been founded in the sixth century. Traditionally the monastery is the burial place of St Ninian. By the tenth or eleventh century a town-like settlement had developed around the monastic site and in 131215 this was relocated to the line of what is now George Street. At around the same time the community was created a burgh of barony for the prior of Whithorn. Pilgrimage was a very profitable activity for the town and the nearby settlement of Isle of Whithorn, a port for pilgrims and goods. The book examines Whithorns historic development from the earliest settlement through the medieval period, the significance of the priory, and its subsequent role as a small market town. The town has received very little archaeological investigation compared to that for the priory, and so the authors consider where the areas of archaeological potential lie, in order to inform the future management of Whithorns historic environment. Distinctive building types are identified and the characterisation of the town is mapped.

Book Synopsis Dumfries and Galloway by : Edward J. Cowan
Download or read book Dumfries and Galloway written by Edward J. Cowan and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dumfries and Galloway is one of the least-known regions of Scotland. Despite memories and traditions to match those of Gaelic-speaking Scotland, it has been seriously understudied. This innovative, ground-breaking study looks mainly at the everyday lives and culture of people in this region during a period of profound agricultural, industrial and demographic change. In doing so, it uncovers new information about a wide range of topics in local history, including food, festivals and folklore, music, mining, the development of towns and villages, population, smuggling, the experience of migration, and the question of identity. All of the contributors to the book are specialists in their fields and have an in-depth knowledge of the region through life and work.
