Download or read book Crime in Scotland 1660 1960 written by Anne-Marie Kilday and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland has often been regarded throughout history as "the violent north", but how true is this statement? Does Scotland deserve to be defined thus, and upon what foundations is this definition based? This book examines the history of crime in Scotland, questioning the labelling of Scotland as home to a violent culture and examining changes in violent behaviour over time, the role of religion on violence, how gender impacted on violence and how the level of Scottish violence fares when compared to incidents of violence throughout the rest of the UK. This book offers a ground-breaking contribution to the historiography of Scottish crime. Not only does the piece illuminate for the first time, the nature and incidence of Scottish criminality over the course of some three hundred years, but it also employs a more integrated analysis of gender than has hitherto been evident. This book sheds light on whether the stereotypical label given to Scotland as 'the violent north' is appropriate or in any way accurate, and it further contributes to our understanding of not only Scottish society, but of the history of crime and punishment in the British Isles and beyond.

Download or read book Maria R written by Angus Alan Douglas Douglas-Hamilton Duke of Hamilton and Brandon and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the most important events in the life of Queen Mary took place on the same day of the year (July 29). On that day in 1565 Mary married Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley, and that day in 1567 saw her abdication and the subsequent coronation of her son. The dramatic and traumatic two years between these dates provide the framework for this popular narrative history. This is not so much a biography as a swift-moving romantic tragedy where, in just twenty-four months amongst the four main residents at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, there were two marriages and as many murders. At the end of the period the two survivors, the heroine and anti-hero, were forced to leave the palace forever. Those fateful two years are distinguished by a multiplicity of characters. Accordingly, the book contains a large number of short, sharply etched prose sketches of Mary's many suitors -- foreign rulers with an impact on Scotland -- and the Scottish nobility of the time. Until now there has been no description of all these people in one simple volume. These sketches containing biographical material, connecting with Mary and her court and outlines of personal characteristics, are an integral part of the book -- indeed, they constitute one of its principal claims to originality. By examining the inter-relationships in this way, this book is able to provide a thoroughly unique insight into the royal families and ruling elites of sixteenth-century Europe. -- Book jacket.
