THE PUBLISHER TO THE READER. —-^^a ^^C'lO^jj^T^T^^ * A here offer to the world a new Edition of the History of the illustrious Houses of Douglas and Angus, wrote by the learned Mr. David Hume of Godscroft: a history, if recom- mendable by the abilities of the Author, yet more so by the subject on which it treats: and surely if the actions of any fa- mily are worthy of record, those of the family of Douglas are in a particular manner: for what family can boast of such a series of great commanders, so many zealous asserters of the liberty and independence of their native country, and so emi- nently distinguished by their great actions through all Europe; witness the reputation they acquired in Italy and Spain, and the titles and preferments deservedly bestowed on them in France and Prussia; in which last the privileges we still en- joy in the city of Dantzic, as they are a lasting monument of their bravery, so they redound no less to the glory of the Scottish nation in general. It is indeed to be regretted, either that the Author did not live a century later, or that a pen equal to the task has not undertaken a continuation of the history down to our times; there are still a variety of great actions performed by persons of the name of Douglas, worthy of transmitting to posterity, which show the race have not degenerated, but are still wor- thy of the noble stock from which they sprung; I shall only give an instance of one, which I take from Mr. Burchett in his Naval Tracts, p. 400. « In the beginning of the year * 1677, a treaty of peace between England and Holland was IV THE PUBLISHER * set on foot by the mediation of Sweden; in confidence of f the success whereof, the King forbearing to set out a fleet, * whilst his ministers were negociating at Breda, the Dutch, ' with seventy sail of ships, under De Ruyter, appear- * ed in the Thames mouth, and sending in a squadron, pos- * sessed themselves of the fort at Sheerness, though bravely c defended by Sir Edward Spragge. The Duke of Albe- e marie, who was Lord General, with all expedition hastened * down thither with some land forces, and, to oppose the c enemy's progress, sunk some vessels in the entrance of the * Medway, and laid a strong chain across it: but the Dutch, « with a high tide, and a strong easterly wind, broke their way * through, and burnt the three ships which lay to defend the ' chain, and going up as far as Upnore castle, burnt also the * Royal Oak, and having much damaged the Loyal London, « and the Great James, fell down the river agiin carrying off « with them the hull of the Royal Charles, which the English < had twice fired, to prevent that dishonour, but the enemy c as often quenched again. In this action one Captain Dou- * glass, who was ordered to defend one of those ships which « were burnt, when the enemy had set fire to it, receiving no « commands to retire, said, " It should never be told that a « " Douglas quitted his post without order," and resolutely « continued aboard, and burnt with the ship, falling a glori- « ous sacrifice to discipline and obedience to command; and an * example of so uncommon a bravery as, had it happened among transmitted down « the ancient Greeks or Romans, had been « to immortality with the illustrious names of Codrus, Cyna> « gyrus, Curtius, and the Decii.' Some casuists may be of opinion, that a bravery carried to what- such an excess exceeds the bounds of Christianity; but and noble in ever be in that, there is something so glorious it: and the worst construc- it, that few will dare to condemn galant gentlemen was in- tion it is capable of, is, that the and toxicated a little too much with the glory of his name, this de- the love of his country, faults that are very rare in generate age. ! TO THE READER. V It remains now that we should say something of the Author, of whom it is only necessary here to take notice, that he was a person of a genius equal to his undertaking; that he had great opportunities, being permitted to see the charters and archives of the family; and that, as he was a man of learning and sagacity, he has made the best use of these advantages: he has also been well versed in the history of Scotland, on which he makes a great many just and judicious remarks; and really if the Author has any fault, it is in the number and prolixity of his reflections; but that ought not so much to be imputed to him, as to the humour of the times in which he wrote; and even these are made in such a manly way, so full of strong substantial sense, and so mixed with ancient Scottish phrases and proverbs, that as they are generally solid and instructive, so they will be to many no less entertaining. It is indeed a loss to the public that the Author did not live to revise his work from the press; and the Editor of the first Edition, who has been a man nowise qualified for that busi- ness, has committed innumerable mistakes, chiefly by his en- deavouring, in many places, to turn the Scottish phrases of our author, which he very ill understood, into the English of the times wherein he lived. He has likewise been very neg- ligent in the spelling of the proper names of persons and places, many of which, if it had not been for the Author's original manuscript, frequently, I confess, not very legible, and the assistance of other historians, I should never have been able to have rectified. I have also taken upon me to alter some old obsolete expressions; but in this I have act- ed very sparingly. L. HUNTER, Publisher. Edinburgh, 1743. PREFACE. Of the Douglases in general; that is, l.^Of their Antiquity, to which isjoined their Original; 2. Nobil- ity and Descent; 3. Greatness; and 4. Valour of the Family and Name ofDouglas. X think it will not be amiss to place here before the door, as it were, and entry into this discourse and treatise, (like a si^n or ivy-bush before an inn) an old verse, which is com- mon in men's mouths: So many, so good, as of the Douglases have been, Of one sirname were ne'er in Scotland seen. This saying being ancient, and generally received, will serve to invite the curious and candid reader, and, like a charm, will fright away malignant spirits and detractors, who labour to lessen and extenuate what they cannot deny. Neither is this a public fame only rovingly scattered, and soon vanishing, but such as hath continued from age to age, and which is authorized and confirmed by all writers, and which is most of all true in itself, as shall appear by this discourse, and no- thing immodest or immoderate. For if we consider these two together jointly, ' so many and so good/ that is their number and their worth, we shall find none that can match them in either of these. There may be found of other names some as good, but not so many. And again though there be as many, yet they are not so good. This truth I have not heard impugned, but it hath hitherto been embraced without all contradiction, even of calumny itself, I know not if with- out envy. But let that monster eat her own heart, and tear PRBI^lCE. Vll her own bowels; and that she may do so yet more, we will give her further occasion to do it, by enlarging the compari- son thus: * so many, so good, &c of subjects race, were never in Europe seen:' and yet further, * in the world were never seen.' This is not any rhetorical amplification, or poetical hyperbole, but a positive and measured truth. If any, after he hath read and pondered their actions, and paralleled them with those whose names any history hath transmitted to the knowledge of posterity: if any man, I say, shall find, after due search and equal judgement, either in this our country, or in this our island of Britain, or in this fourth part of the world, Europe; or throughout the whole universe, such valour to have continued in any one house or name, that were subjects, and not kings or princes, and to have been so hereditary to all of them, and, as if it had been entailed, descending by succession from father to son, and from brother to brother, the successor still striving to outdo his predecessor, in that height of excel- lency, and for so many generations; then let this saying be sus- pected as partial, or branded as an untruth; otherwise be con- tented to bear witness to the truth, or at least give others leave to do it; and receive thou it as such, without murmuring or im- patience.

  • The Kingship of David II (1329-71)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository 1 The Kingship of David II (1329-71) Although he was an infant, and English sources would jibe that he soiled the coronation altar, David Bruce was the first king of Scots to receive full coronation and anointment. As such, his installation at Scone abbey on 24 November 1331 was another triumph for his father.1 The terms of the 1328 peace had stipulated that Edward III’s regime should help secure from Avignon both the lifting of Robert I’s excommunication and this parity of rite with the monarchies of England and France. David’s coronation must, then, have blended newly-borrowed traditions with established Scottish inaugural forms: it probably merged the introduction of the boy-king and the carrying of orb, sceptre and sword by the incumbents of ancient lines of earls, then unction and the taking of oaths to common law and church followed by a sermon by the new bishop of St Andrews, the recitation of royal genealogy in Gaelic and general homage, fealty and knighting of subjects alongside the king.2 Yet this display must also have been designed to reinforce the territorial claims of authority of the Bruce house in the presence of its allies and in-laws from the north, west and south-west of Scotland as well as the established Lowland political community. Finally, it was in part an impressive riposte to Edward II’s failed attempts to persuade the papacy of his claim for England’s kings to be anointed with the holy oil of Becket.3 1 Chronica Monasterii de Melsa, ed.

However, the first certain record of the name relates to a William de Dufglas who, between 1175 and 1199, witnessed charter by the Bishop of Glasgow to the monks of Kelso. Sir William de Douglas, believed to be the third head of the Borders family, had two sons who fought against the Norse at the Battle of Largs in 1263. William Douglas ‘The Hardy’ was governor of Berwick when the town was besieged by the English. Douglas was taken prisoner when the town fell and he was only released when he agreed to accept the claim of Edward I of England to be overlord of Scotland. He later joined Sir William Wallace in the struggle for Scottish independence but he was again captured and died in England in 1302.

A study of how the Kennedys extended their influence across south-west Scotland and acquired an earldom has never been undertaken. This thesis aims to fill the significant gap in our understanding of how lordship operated in this region. In particular, analysis of the interactions between the Kennedys and the earls of Carrick, usually the monarch or his heir, demonstrates that the key factor in their success was their policy of close alignment and support of the crown.

No class of monument surviving from our medieval past has been better served or more intensely studied than the castle. Our fascination for ecclesiastical ruins has a longer history, but the Scottish castle has received the greater attention down the years. We owe an enormous debt to professional architects like MacGibbon and Ross, and to architectural historians of the calibre of Mackay MacKenzie (1927), Stewart Cruden (1960; reprinted 1981) and John Dunbar (1966), for picking over castellater bonee ou th f o s d heritag publishind ean majoe gth r seminal works.

Their Nation Dishonored, the Queen Shamed, and Country Undone: Feuding, Factionalism, and Religion in the Chaseabout Raid Abstract The mid-sixteenth century witnessed religious and political upheaval across much of Western Europe, particularly in the British Isles. In 1565, a good portion of the Scottish nobility rebelled against their sovereign, Mary, Queen of Scots. The roles played and decisions made by the nobles during this revolt, known as the Chaseabout Raid, provide important insights concerning the converging issues of feuding, factionalism, and religion in Scotland. My reconstructed narrative of the Chaseabout Raid indicates that there were, in fact, no firm factions determined yb ideology, but rather shifting allegiances in the midst of conflict, determined yb complex and interrelated factors, personalities, and motivations. The primary motivation for the coalitions formed during the Chaseabout Raid was selfish personal ambition—base desire for individual gain still superseded any proto-nationalistic ideas or purely ideological commitments.
