  • 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.

  • The Private and Public Religion of David II of Scotland, 1329-71
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Christian Days and Knights: The Religious Devotions and Court of 1 David II of Scotland, 1329-71. Michael Penman Abstract This article surveys the development of the religious devotions and court life of David II of Scotland (1329- 71). Using contemporary government and chronicle sources it discusses David’s favour to a wide range of chivalric and pious causes, many with special personal resonance for the second Bruce king. This patronage attracted widespread support for his kingship after 1357. However, such interests also had political motivation for David, namely his agenda of securing a peace deal with Edward III of England and overawing his Scottish magnate opponents. His political circumstances meant that his legacy of chivalric and religious patronage were obscured after his early death. Accepted for publication in Historical Research by Wiley-Blackwell. Edward III (1327-77) was celebrated by late medieval writers as a king in the biblical style: as an exemplar of Christian virtue, a warrior and generous patron of the church, founder of several royal chapels and of the knights’ Order of St George. Similarly, Philip VI of France (1328-50) received praise for the time and energy he dedicated to attempting to organise a Pan-European crusade to recover the Holy Land, attracting hundreds of European knights, Counts, Princes and lesser kings to his realm in the 1330s. Meanwhile, Robert I of Scotland (1306-29)

In the eleventh century the centre of ecclesiastical power was transferred from Iona to Dunfermline, after the Culdee leadership had been overpowered by the authority of the Roman Church, and King Malcolm and Queen Margaret had made the seat of their Court the leading centre of religious worship.

Welcome DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome to Chicago’s home for Shakespeare. Today’s presentation marks the return of two of our seminal international partners: the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of Scotland. Their collaboration on Dunsinane has created a tour-de-force, penned by modern-day Scottish playwright David Greig. By boldly imaging the complicated power struggle following the demise of King Macbeth, Greig provokes a timely dialog on the complexities of nation- building following an invasion of epic proportion. The original play is one of the greatest tragedies ever written. To have it followed 400 years later by an equally complicated, nuanced tale is theatrically thrilling. Through our World’s Stage Series, we are honored to serve as a cultural ambassador by importing leading international companies like the RSC and National Theatre of Scotland to Chicago. In the spirit of cultural exchange, we are also increasingly exporting our own work to the world.

No obstante, en términos de su tamaño y carácter interno, hay buenas razones para considerar el Reino de Escocia y el Señorío de Irlanda como modelos de sociedad política. Más allá las significativas diferencias en el estatus, leyes y relaciones externas, hacia el año 1400 los dos territorios pueden relacionarse por compartir experiencias comunes de gobierno y de guerras internas. Éstas son las más aparentes desde una perspectiva regional. Tanto Irlanda y Escocia operaban como sistemas políticos regionalizados en los que predominaban los intereses de las principales casas aristocráticas. La importancia de dichas casas fue reconocida tanto internamente como por el gobierno real. Observando en regiones paralelas, Munster y el nordeste de Escocia, es posible identificar rasgos comparables y diferencias de largo término en dichas sociedades.

  • Assassination of King James I
    302 THE SCOTISH WARS. it is acknowledged by the ancient English historians, that in the course of a twenty years' war the spirit of Scotlmid had attained an astonishing ascendant over the English." ASSASSINATION OF JAMES I.* A.D. 1437. JAMES I. was a prince worthy of a better age, and a more enlightened and civilized kingdom than was Scotland in the fifteenth century. His well known imprisonment in Eng- land had not been without its advantages to himself indi- vidually, for the greatest care had been bestowed on his education. In him, after two feeble reigns, and two re- gencies equally inactive, the House of Stuart produced a sovereign as distinguished for his mental as for his personal " accomplishments a man of science and learning," says " an historian, an excellent poet, a master of music : illus- trious in every personal virtue, free from any personal vice; his very amusements adorned his character his hours of leisure being frequently dedicated to elegant writing and miniature painting, to mechanical arts, and to the cultiva- tion of the.garden and the orchard." The tragedy which deprived Scotland of this able and excellent sovereign is one of the most melancholy in our national history. The delay of redress for sundry inroads committed by the English, and probably a desire to prevent any treasonable confederacies among his nobility, induced * to of Scotland Nicol- Appendix Pinkerton's History ; Bishop Libraries of Sir son's Historical ; Buchanan's History Scotland ; James Balfour's Annals ; Drummond of Hawthornden's History ; of of Memorabilia of Perth ; Noble's History the Stuarts ; History the House of Stuart; Duff's History of Scotland; Maitland's of the of Janu-g 1.

In so doing I shall not attempt to cope in detail with the opinions of some sixty too lenient critics, but content myself with a justification of that via media which I claim to have taken in regard to the controversy which continues between the two schools who respectively laud and execrate the Stuart name. That I am not so far from the truth in my estimate as some critics suppose, is, I think, manifest from the strong objection taken to my conclusions by the White Rose organs on one hand, and the Daily News and several journals in sj'mpathy with it on the other; while the fact that a majority of my critics have expressed themselves in favour of a juste milieu being observed in estimating the merits and demerits of the unfortunate Stuart race, leads one to believe that some protest against the ipse dixit school of historians was needed.

  • The Jacobite Rebellion of 1719: Revenge and Regrets by PJ Klinger
    The Jacobite Rebellion of 1719: Revenge and Regrets by PJ Klinger October, 2013 Director of Thesis: Dr. Jonathan Reid Major Department: History The Jacobite Rebellion of 1719 was an ambitious failed attempt by Spain and the Jacobites to restore the exiled Stuart king James III to the British throne. Because of its failure, the 1719 rebellion has received little attention from scholars. This thesis examines the Jacobite Rebellion of 1719 and the roles that Spain and the Jacobites had during this rebellion and creates a full narrative of the planning and execution of the rebellion. In examining these roles this thesis traces the origins of the rebellion, determines fault for the rebellion’s failure, and for the first time reconstructs the weather that played a pivotal role in the failure of the rebellion. This thesis argues that the 1719 rebellion was in fact a significant Jacobite rebellion that could have potentially shifted the balance of power in Europe during the early eighteenth century had it not been for the intervention of the weather.

When we consider the history of the Picts we are faced with the perennial challenge for the early medievalist of deciding whether the fragments of evidence which survive are representative of the reality of Pictish society, or whether they provide us with distortions, based on patterns of survival.
