Paperback. Zustand: Good. Robert the Bruce (1274?1329) famously defeated the English at Bannockburn and became the hero king responsible for Scottish independence. In this fascinating new biography of the renowned warrior, Michael Penman focuses on Robert?s kingship in the fifteen years that followed his triumphant victory and establishes Robert as not only a great military leader but a great monarch.   Robert faced a slow and often troubled process of legitimating his authority, restoring government, rewarding his supporters, accommodating former enemies, and controlling the various regions of his kingdom, none of which was achieved overnight. Penman investigates Robert?s resettlement of lands and offices, the development of Scotland?s parliaments, his handling of plots to overthrow him, his relations with his family and allies, his piety and court ethos, and his conscious development of an image of kingship through the use of ceremony and symbol. In doing so, Penman repositions Robert within the context of wider European political change, religion, culture, and national identity as well as recurrent crises of famine and disease.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From pre-Roman times, Stirling was seen as a strategic location because of its position at the crossing of the river Forth. In many accounts it appears as the key link between Britain, Scotland and the world beyond, as a place of borders as well as connections, and, as such, is an ideal location from which we can see how Scotland and the United Kingdom were made.This book offers a unique perspective on Stirling. It connects the story of Stirling and the surrounding area to important events and transformations in Scottish and wider history, and incorporates landscape, environment, archaeology and architecture. It discusses what the built and cultural heritage that surrounds us in the city today can tell us and reveal about Stirling's exciting history. The book also takes account of more recent developments in Scottish history not only to discuss political events, but also to pay attention to the ways in which these events are connected to society, culture and developments in Scotland and beyond.…

"David II is one of many much-maligned kings who is remembered in history for his personal failings and the shortcomings of his reign. This is typical of many biographies that seek to assess the validity of such claims and attempt to set the record straight. Michael Penman's biography of David, the son of Robert the Bruce, takes a detailed chronological tour through his life and reign beginning with his succession and the politicl situation that he inherited. Labelled as a disastrous general, a womaniser, and English sympathiser up until the mid-20th century, this book reveals a more formidable and charismatic ruler who saw Scotland through both the Hundred Years War and the Black Death. David stands here as a strong king and lawgiver, an energetic and cunning man born into very different circumstances, who fell foul of internal political tension, the lack of an heir and his failure to secure an Anglo-Scottish peace although, ultimately, it was his premature death that let him down.".…
