The First Stewart Dynasty: Scotland, 1371-1488
ISBN: 9780748612352 / Angielski / Twarda / 30-04-2026 / 1 str. Książka dostępna od: 30-04-2026 The volume begins with the shaky foundation of the Stewart dynasty during the reign of Robert II (1371-1390) and traces its development to the demise at the Battle of Sauchieburn of James III (1460-1488) together with his exalted vision of Stewart kingship.

The Vikings in Islay: The Place of Names in Hebridean Settlement History
ISBN: 9781906566623 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Challenging the traditional assumptions about the nature of Viking settlements in the Inner Hebrides, this book aims to stimulate the debate on what happened in Islay 1,200 years ago, when Viking settlers from Norway clashed with the indigenous Scots of Dal Riada.

Despite a pivotal location on the sea road from Norway to Ireland, there are no...
