  • The Later Posthumous Coinage of William the Lion

    The Later Posthumous Coinage of William the Lion

    SHORT ARTICLES AND NOTES 241 THE LATER POSTHUMOUS COINAGE OF WILLIAM THE LION IAN JONES AND KEITH SUGDEN Introduction ON 4 December 1214, at the age of seventy, William the Lion died at Stirling Castle, having been ill for some months. His son Alexander, a boy of sixteen, was inaugurated as King Alexander II of Scotland at Scone the following day, and only after a delay of a further four days was the old king buried at Arbroath. The haste to establish Alexander as king hints at the uncertainty in the succession: the principle of male primogeniture was still recent in Scotland, and William’s younger brother David, as well as the McWilliam family in the North, were potential rivals for the throne. It is all the more surprising, therefore, that coins in William’s name appear to have been issued for some twenty years after his death (though of course this parallels the situation in England, where neither Richard nor John felt the need to remove their father’s name from their coins). The Short Cross coinage issued by William the Lion commenced in 1195, and has been divided by Ian Stewart (Lord Stewartby) into five phases.1 In Stewart phase (a), coins identify- ing both moneyer and the mint of issue were struck by Hue at Edinburgh, by Walter at Perth and by Raul at Roxburgh. Phase (b) is a large series in the names of Hue, Walter, and Henri le Rus, but without mint names; at the end of phase (b) Hue is replaced by Adam. In phase (c), all struck at Roxburgh, Adam continued, but Walter is replaced by Peris, Aimer, and then Adam, the latter being joined in phases (d) and (e) (coins in the name of King Alexander II) by other moneyers.

  • Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace

    Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace

    46 Scottish Society at the time of William Wallace That the Scots were identified as separate people by the late tenth and early eleventh century can be seen from the chronicles of Durham which record their passage and both successful and failed attempts at conquest. I Whether they were independent or vassal kings was not a matter of major significance at the time. Some of them looked to England for support. Malcolm Canmore in 1072 was forced to submit to William the Conqueror at Abernethy. This did not stop him raiding southwards later. His son Edgar said in a charter that he was king "by the grant of my lord, William, king of the English and by paternal inheritance"2 and he bore a sword at William Rufus's coronation. Henry I took to wife a Scottish princess. Later kings of Scotland took English queens. The Scottish kings did homage to the English for English lands such as the earldom of Huntingdon, but then the English kings did homage to the French for some of the lands they held in France.3 More interesting perhaps is the question 'What was Scotland in Wallace's time?' It was an area which lacked the cultural homogeneity of Ireland or Wales. The Islands and the West Coast were part of the Scandinavian kingdom down to 1100, spoke Norse and used Odal law. The kingdom ruled by the descendants of Kenneth MacApline (died c.858) who called themselves kings of the Scots, which had held sway over Gaels and Picts in the west, had by Wallace's time spread to the south and east which was 'English' speaking.

At the beginning of the 19th century widespread criticism of alcohol gained ground in Britain and elsewhere. Those who advocated abstinence from drink, as well as some who campaigned for prohibition (banning the production, sale and consumption of alcohol) started to band together from the late 1820s onwards. This formal organisation of those opposed to alcohol was new. It was in response to a significant increase in consumption, which in Scotland almost trebled between 1822 and 1829. There were several reasons for this increase. Duty on spirits was lowered in 1822 from 7/- to 2/10d per gallon1 and a new flat tax and license fee system for distillers was introduced in 1823 in an effort to deal with illegal distilling. 2 Considerable numbers of private distillers went legal soon after. Production capacity for spirits was further increased by the introduction of a new, continuous distillation process.

It was great fun, enhanced by sunny, warm weather and Alan Kinnaird has written a most interesting and detailed account on pages 12-15. The Voice of Alyth kindly described our presentation of A Mosaic of Wartime Alyth on Thursday 5 June as "fascinating and very well-received". Certainly, those who attended were responsive and we were given some intriguing information about events in Alyth during the Second World War. A couple of the townsfolk have volunteered to let us record their memories on tape for an oral history project. On our side, this will involve talking to the volunteers concerned, recording the conversation and - arguably the hardest part! - transcribing it. In accordance with the maxim that many hands make light work, we shall be asking Friends to volunteer to participate in this pro- ject. Other summer activities, all most enjoyable, included the Family History Day in the AK Bell Li- brary on 23 August, and the Rait Highland Games on the 30th, where Hilary Wright made a hit teaching children how to write with quill pens.
