Since the last newsletter, one of the activities which has taken up a lot of my time has been the Union of the Crowns 400. Our first event was held at the beginning of April and as part of it, there was “ Bygone Borderlands “ which was held in the Guildhall and the Committee Rooms at Wallace Green. Thank you to everyone who supported the event - the organisations on both sides of the border who put together the displays ( not an easy task) ; the individuals who gave the talks and lecturettes ; the individuals who manned the displays and those who worked very hard in the background. I think the event was a great success although the Friday night was very fraught trying to get all the displays up. It was great to see so many people coming in to the Guildhall to see the displays and spending time looking at them and talking to the people manning them. It was also encouraging to see a mixture of local people and visitors to the town. I met a number of people whom I had corresponded with or who come in to the Office once a year who had made a special trip up for the weekend to see everything that was going on. I would reckon that a couple of thousand people visited the Guildhall over the two days. Obviously, that was only the first event of the series. King James’ sports have gone well and now we are working towards the Medieval Weekend in July and the Norham weekend at the end of September. See other articles for information. As well as Union of the Crowns, I have been involved in a lot of other outreach work. One of the exhibitors at the Bygone Borderlands exhibition was a newly formed group based at Seahouses – Old Parish of Bamburgh Local History Archive. The group are trying to set up a Community Archive on the Bamburgh/Seahouses and Beadnell area – photographs/ transcripts, maps, etc which they want to make available to the people in the area. I have been helping them, giving them advice on professional issues and supporting them. Their intention is to make available copies of archives in Seahouses but place original items here in the Record Office at Berwick. The group are planning to hold an exhibition in Seahouses at the end of August – see dates for your diary. Other outreach work I have done recently include giving a talk to Berwick History Society on Berwick’s charter granted in 1604 and to the Soroptimists Club on my work as an Archivist.. I have also hosted a visit to the Office by a group from Alnmouth who were interested in finding out about the resources kept here and the work of all the volunteers. The last few months have also been busy with education work. In March, I made my annual visit to Holy Island to spend a morning with the Junior School of Royal Grammar School in Newcastle. In May, Berwick Middle School were doing a 4 project on the coming of the Railways to Berwick and so three classes came in to find out about the Royal Border Bridge and how we look after archives. As well as teaching children, I have also been doing some more work with Northumberland College. At the end of March, we held a taster evening in Etal Village Hall on the Internet and the Genealogist. Since then, I have run a 5 week course on the Internet and Genealogy at the College Annexe in Berwick and at the beginning of July, I will be running a 5 week course at Etal. This should be interesting as it will be my first experience of teaching on the College’ travelling bus with laptops and Internet access ! Many of you will be aware that the Archives and the Museum are working at the moment with the consultants, PLB who are investigating the possibility of moving and integrating both services on one site. We have had several meetings with the consultants and held a successful public meeting in May. The consultants will be producing their final report shortly and then we will have to see where we go from there. Hopefully , we will be able to update your further in the next newsletter.

    Omy I Mean an Analysis

    CHAPTER TWO THE ANATOMY OF MEDIEVAL PIRACY In this chapter I shall deal with the anatomy of medieval piracy. By anat- omy I mean an analysis of the vessels used by the pirates as well as their victims, the geography of piracy, the procedure of a pirate assault, the fate of the victims and their goods and, finally, the collaboration between pirates and their land-based accomplices. It should be noted that these cases are rather hard to disentangle, and it is important to stress the con- fusion that reigned. Even contemporaries had trouble telling what had actually happened in the reported incidents of piracy. Piracy in practice did not adhere to fixed schemes of crime despite the formal script of the complaints. Thus, the image of piracy provided in this chapter is some- what impressionistic. While it may seem as if piracy was omnipresent in the Middle Ages and that mariners and merchants lived in continual danger of being assaulted, it must be noted that sea-borne trade generally functioned and functioned well. On the whole, trading voyages could and would be conducted with- out any significant disturbances from other sea-folk. Hence, this chap- ter does not seek to present piracy as an overwhelming problem at sea. Nonetheless, the maritime wars of Bayonne and the Norman ports, and the continual conflicts between the Cinque Ports and Great Yarmouth, at times endangered maritime commerce in general. Furthermore, natural disasters like the Great Famine of 1315–17 and the kings’ wars had a stimu- lating effect on piracy. The 1310s were particularly rife with piracy due to the wars between England and Scotland and between France and Flan- ders.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.
  • Christina Bruce and Her Defence of Kildrummy Castle

    Christina Bruce and Her Defence of Kildrummy Castle

    2020 VII Christina Bruce and Her Defence of Kildrummy Castle Morvern French Article: Christina Bruce and Her Defence of Kildrummy Castle Christina Bruce and Her Defence of Kildrummy Castle Morvern French HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND Abstract: In 1335, Christina Bruce “maid stout and manly resistens” against a Disinherited force besieging Kildrummy Castle during the Second War of Scottish Independence. Her successful defence led to the critical battle of Culblean at which the Bruce faction scored a notable victory. The actions of her contemporaries Black Agnes and Lady Seton have received a deal of scholarly attention, but Christina has remained curiously understudied. Most chroniclers neglected to mention her and minimised her achievement, except for Andrew Wyntoun, who provided the principal and most reliable evidence for her active formulation of the castle’s defence strategy. This article outlines the development of Christina’s story from her own lifetime to the sixteenth century, considering the sources used by different chroniclers. As a member of the aristocratic class, her role as military leader sat alongside her roles as political prisoner, landholder and granter of land, trade negotiator, and royal host. Yet, she was prevented from crossing into established history and national memory by a combination of factors that included the lack of importance attached to female actions. By offering a new perspective on Christina, this article injects a degree of gender balance into the history of the Wars of Scottish Independence. Keywords: Wars of Scottish Independence; Bruce; women’s history; military history; chronicles ncreasingly, scholarship recognises medieval women’s engagement with, and participation in, war, moving on from the idea that they were limited to acting as passive bystanders in their roles as mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives affected by I male actions and loss.1 In a European context, Megan McLaughlin defined a woman warrior as “someone who participated personally in a military action ..

    Scotland’s forgotten medieval king By Matthew Hammond If you pick up any popular history of Scotland’s kings and queens, chances are you will find no mention of Edward Balliol. Yet Edward was crowned king of Scots at Scone on 24 September, 1332, enthroned by the earl of Fife and anointed by the bishop of Dunkeld, with a bevy of worthies in attendance. Edward certainly had a reasonable claim to the kingship. His father, John Balliol, had been inaugurated at Scone in 1292 and reigned until 1296, when King Edward I invaded and stripped King John of his royal insignia, making him an ‘empty coat’ (‘Toom Tabard’ in Scots). Yet Balliol almost certainly had the superior claim to the Scots throne after the deaths of Alexander III (1286) and Margaret of Norway (1290), and Scottish patriots like William Wallace continued fighting in John’s name for years after his humiliating defeat. Image: Seal of King Edward Balliol - reverse Edward, John’s son, was already about 49 years old when he was crowned king of Scots, having spent a life of privilege and luxury, growing up in the courts of the future Edward II as well as his cousin John de Warenne, earl of Surrey. After his father’s death in 1314, Edward succeeded to the Balliol estates in France, centred on the château of Hélicourt in Vimeu in Picardy. Edward’s potential claim to the Scottish kingship became the focus for a group of nobles disinherited by Robert I. Some of these had been Scottish families who fled the kingdom, Balliol adherents and Bruce enemies like the MacDougalls of Lorn in Argyll, or the MacDowalls in Galloway.
  • The Historicity of Barbour's Bruce

    The Historicity of Barbour's Bruce

    The Historicity of Barbour's Bruce By JAMES HAND TAGGART School of Scottish Studies Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow A thesis submitted'to the University of Glasgow in May 2004 for the degreeof Doctor of Philosophy ii Acknowledgments Professor Geoffrey Barrow took time to discuss various aspects of Barbour's purpose in writing The Bruce. Professor Archie Duncan spent hours with me on several occasions. His knowledge of The Bruce is unsurpassed;he shared it most generously. He was patient when I questioned some of his conclusions about Barbour's work and its historicity. His edition of The Bruce, together with its extensivenotes, was invaluable for my analysis of Barbour. Drs. Sonia Cameron and Fiona Watson also gave generouslyof their time at crucial points. I am especially grateful to my supervisor, Professor Edward Cowan. He never failed to smile and brew up a coffee on the many occasionsI visited his room in the Department of Scottish History. He kept my enthusiasm going over a prolonged period, and helped to structure my work in a way that made the analyses more accessibleand the discussion more meaningful. He vigorously defendedme and my work against aggressive and unprofessional attack, and encouraged me to think rigorously at every point. I am glad, though, to observethat I finally convinced him that the carl of Carrick killed, but did not murder, the lord of Badenoch on 10 February 1306. Thanks for your guidanceand friendship, Ted. On a personal note, I am grateful to Fiona for starting me out on this journey, and to Mairi for sustaining me on the last few laps.

Three separate but overlapping influences are examined: national identity, the extent to which the different regions of Scotland were drawn in, and the landed interests involved in each region. These three issues are considered for the first time using a prosophographical approach, examining the background and actions of the key players in the conflict, the higher nobility of Scotland. The thesis examines, first of all, the role of the higher nobility of Scotland in the 1330s.
