Upon the death of a husband, a widow was entitled to one-third of her husbard's estate, thus her dower rights (as a wife) became her dower share (as a widow), often referred to as the Widow's third. Dower was a wido#s right to a lifetime interest in one-third of all land owned by her husband, unless she chose, in place of dower, to accept other property left to her under her husband's wi1l. Generally, dower applied to each parcel of land in which the hus' band held an inheritable interest at any time during the marriage.

  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.

I^HE origin of the family of Grant, like most families of Highland descent, is lost in the mists of antiquity. Many origins have been ascribed to it, including a Danish, a Norwegian, an English, an Irish, a Norman, and a Celtic one. In his " Chiefs of Grant " Sir William Fraser endeavours to set up the Norman theory, and by connecting the family with that of Byset of East Bridgeford, in Nottinghamshire, traces them to the north in the train of that family of Byset, who, in the reign of Alexander II., had become powerful in the province of Moray. In De Magny's list of the companions of William the Conqueror occurs the name of " Robert Grante." The Clan, however, has always favoured a Celtic origin, as being indi- genous to Strathspey, and derive the name Grant from a large moor called Griantach, or Sliabh Grianais, the plain of the sun. The earliest reference on record to the name connected with Scotland is that of Thomas Grant, merchant of the King of Scotland, who, on 2nd January, 1252, was deposed from his office of visor of York Castle.
