Approaches to the issues of the British Isles: 1 interdisciplinary - sociology, anthropology, cultural studies... 2 non-anglo centric 3 The Box Theory ENGLAND: 50% of land, 80% of population, Midlands, the heartland of Britain, densely populated, industrial heart, Black Country. Home Counties - surround London/Surrey, Sussex, Essex.../ rich area, commuterland, stock broker belt The history of the British Isles is the history of invasions and assimilation, layers of invaders resulting in the mixture of blood = no pure Englishman, Scotsman... It was one new layer of culture replacing the former one. Since Normans = the history of the English invasions and England has not been invaded since then. Turning points in the history: 1066 called key, pivotal date. Since then the history has been dominated by the English and the period between 1066 and present can be seen as a conflict between English and Celtic nations.

Scottish king Alexander III died without a heir, only 4year old granddaughter in Norway (north and west of Scotland belonged to Norway since the Vikings invasions), she died on her way to Scotland and >>> the English king Edward I in 1296 made himself recognized as Lord Superior of Scotland, after bribing Scottish lords to support him. This started the great Scottish nationalist resistance against him. (Braveheart) William Wallace alias Mell Gibson started a campaign against the English, partially successful, but short lived. In 1298 he wasdefeated at Falkirk, executed by the English and his arms and legs were sent to the 4 corners of Scotland as a warning.

Wales had been Celtic, divided into many small kingdom never united into one single kingdom. In 1282 rebellion against Edward I led by Llewelyn ap Gruffydd /tlewelin ap grufid/, nationalist hero, cult figure for the Welsh even today, symbol of the Welsh nationalism. Rebellion was crushed by Edward I, and he was killed. English Common Law, the key element of British non-written constitution was extended to Wales. >>>> 1 political system for England and Wales today, separate one for Scotland and another one in Ireland. Since the end of the 13 C Wale was treated as England, in 1964 Secretary of State for Wales appointed. For 700 years Wales had no representative within the UK. Edward I was very brutal towards Wales, brutal invasion, plantation of Wales after 100 years, almost no Wales. 1301 the first Prince of Wales = Edward I's eldest son, it created an identity for Wales, the principality. But English kings took Wale as a part of England >>>> absorbtion of Wales by England, English Church colonized Wales, English military regime controlled Wales in 14 C , small rebellions, because aristocracy cooperated with the English Great bitterness, irritation by the Welsh Norman castles in Wales 1400 >>> colonisation of Wales. The original Welsh population was concentrated along the river valleys, the English drew them out to the hills, moorland. In those border areas, heavily anglicised, still Welsh marches.

Welsh National Party Plaid Cymru established. 1966 first Welsh national MP elected. 1970s militant, extremist nationalist movement, very low standard of living, very high prices for properties, only rich people from England were buying property on the seaside. Many holiday homes were burned down - arsoning. 1979 Referendum in Wales and Scotland. The same result and reasons. 1997 Referendum positive IRELAND 5C arrival of Christianity by Patrick (parton saint), he converted the Irish to Christianity. It was based on ascetism and spread through monasteries from Ireland to Scotland and then to England. though the English prefer to think that it came from the south and spread to the north. It was a synthesis of the pagan and Christian ideas and values. Christianity brought Latin, the first written language the Irish had. Previously oral Celtic language Ogham, only 20 characters for writing. It was soon replaced by Latin. 8-9 C Ireland's Dark Ages. Christianity was weakened, Vikings invaded Ireland and it became pagan again. the Vikings destroyed monastic culture, established their loose presence but not a single kingdom. 1114 Brian Born - Emperor of the Irish defeated the Vikings at the battle of Clontarf. He united the whole Ireland into one kingdom. Four historic provinces of Ireland ////////////////////////////// / ULSTER / / fertile / / / CONNACHT / / LEINSTER rocks / / best land / MUNSTER / ////////////////////////////// fertile The king of LEINSTER asked Henry II, the king of England for help against Brian Born.

Having spent a millennium or more as a sovereign nation-with its own culture, economy, laws, and even monarchy-Scotland joined with England (and Wales) in creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain by ratifying the Articles of Union with the passage of the Union with England Act of 1707 (the Union).' Within a few years of the Union, however, Scots fought to restore their independence.2 For many, the fight continues today. With the U.K.'s massive constitutional overhaul of the past two decades,' including the re-establishment of the Scottish Parliament and the devolution to Scotland of some aspects of national governance and sovereignty (under the Scotland Act of 1998),5 the issue of independence has gained renewed significance.' In the 2007 Scottish parliamentary elections, for instance the Scottish National Party (SNP) made an incredible showing; a "central plank" of the SNP platform is a referendum for independence.7 Parallel developments across the U.K.

  • The Great Migration: DNA Testing Companies Allow Us to Answer The
    We Scots Are All Immigrants – And Cousins to Boot! by John King Bellassai * [This article appears in abbreviated form in the current issue of Scots Heritage Magazine. It is reprinted here in its entirety with the permission of the editors of that publication.] America is a nation of immigrants. In fact, North America was uninhabited until incomers from Asia crossed a land bridge from Siberia to Alaska some 12,000 years ago—right after the last Ice Age—to eventually spread across the continent. In addition, recent evidence suggests that at about the same time, other incomers arrived in South America by boat from Polynesia and points in Southeast Asia, spreading up the west coast of the contingent. Which means the ancestors of everyone here in the Americas, everyone who has ever been here, came from somewhere else. Less well known is the fact that Britain, too, has been from the start a land of immigrants. In recent years geology, climatology, paleo-archaeology, and genetic population research have come together to demonstrate the hidden history of prehistoric Britain—something far different than what was traditionally believed and taught in schools. We now know that no peoples were indigenous to Britain. True, traces of humanoids there go back 800,000 years (the so-called Happisburg footprints), and modern humans (Cro-Magnon Man) did indeed inhabit Britain about 40,000 years ago. But we also now know that no one alive today in Britain descends from these people. Rather, during the last Ice Age, Britain, like the rest of Northern Europe, was uninhabited—and uninhabitable.

  • The Sinclair Macphersons
    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

  • July at the Museum!
    July at the Museum! Battle of Aughrim, John Mulvaney. The Battle of the Boyne, July 1st 1690. On 1 July 1690, the Battle of the Boyne was fought between King James II's Jacobite army, and the Williamite Army under William of Orange. Despite only being a minor military victory in favour of the Williamites, it has a major symbolic significance. The Battle's annual commemorations by The Orange Order, a masonic-style fraternity dedicated to the protection of the Protestant Ascendancy, remain a topic of great controversy. This is especially true in areas of Northern Ireland where sectarian tensions remain rife. No year in Irish history is better known than 1690. No Irish battle is more famous than William III's victory over James II at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda. James, a Roman Catholic, had lost the throne of England in the bloodless "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. William was Prince of Orange, a Dutch-speaking Protestant married to James's daughter Mary, and became king at the request of parliament. James sought refuge with his old ally, Louis XIV of France, who saw an opportunity to strike at William through Ireland. He provided French officers and arms for James, who landed at Kinsale in March 1689. The lord deputy, the Earl of Tyrconnell was a Catholic loyal to James, and his Irish army controlled most of the island. James quickly summoned a parliament, largely Catholic, which proceeded to repeal the legislation under which Protestant settlers had acquired land. During the rule of Tyrconnell, the first Catholic viceroy since the Reformation, Protestants had seen their influence eroded in the army, in the courts and in civil government.

  • Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1
    The Scottish Historical Review, Volume LXXXV, 1: No. 219: April 2006, 1–27 MATTHEW H. HAMMOND Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish history1 ABSTRACT Historians have long tended to define medieval Scottish society in terms of interactions between ethnic groups. This approach was developed over the course of the long nineteenth century, a formative period for the study of medieval Scotland. At that time, many scholars based their analysis upon scientific principles, long since debunked, which held that medieval ‘peoples’ could only be understood in terms of ‘full ethnic packages’. This approach was combined with a positivist historical narrative that defined Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Normans as the harbingers of advances in Civilisation. While the prejudices of that era have largely faded away, the modern discipline still relies all too often on a dualistic ethnic framework. This is particularly evident in a structure of periodisation that draws a clear line between the ‘Celtic’ eleventh century and the ‘Norman’ twelfth. Furthermore, dualistic oppositions based on ethnicity continue, particu- larly in discussions of law, kingship, lordship and religion. Geoffrey Barrow’s Robert Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland, first published in 1965 and now available in the fourth edition, is proba- bly the most widely read book ever written by a professional historian on the Middle Ages in Scotland.2 In seeking to introduce the thirteenth century to such a broad audience, Barrow depicted Alexander III’s Scot- land as fundamentally

Perhaps the most prestigious megalithic monument of Europe is Stonehenge, the stone circle presiding on the rolling hills of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. The earliest known references to the islands as a group appeared in the writings of seafarers from the ancient Greek colony of Massalia. In: English Heritage. We are independent, we are not part of Britain, not even in geographical terms. In time, Anglo-Saxon demands on the British became so great that they came to culturally dominate the bulk of southern Great Britain, though recent genetic evidence suggests Britons still formed the bulk of the population. English colonialism in Ireland of the 16th century was extended by large-scale Scottish and English colonies in Ulster. Allen, Stephen Lehmberg Request examination copy. However, the terms were never honoured and a new monarchy was installed. Reports on its findings are presented to the Governments of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
