Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deconstruction of the national biography and mythology of William Wallace.

Download or read book The Wallace Book written by Edward J. Cowan and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his personality, ingenuity and ability, he initiated a resistance movement which ultimately secured the nation's freedom and independence. Yet, Wallace was reviled, opposed and eventually betrayed by the nobility in his own day to re-surface in the epic poetry of the fifteenth century as a champion and liberator. Eventually, his legend overtook the historical reality, a process which has continued for centuries as manifested in modern media and film. A team of leading historians and critics from both Scotland and England investigate what is known of the medieval warrior's career from contemporary sources, most of which, unusually for a national hero, were created by his enemies. His reputation, from the time of his horrendous execution to the present, is examined to ascertain what the figure of Wallace meant to different generations of Scots. Too dangerous perhaps for his own era, he became the supreme Scottish hero of all time; the archetypal Scot who would teach kings and nobles where their duty lay, and who would live free or freely die for the liberty of his nation.

Download or read book The Gunns History Myths and Genealogy written by Alastair Gunn and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a radical, academically based text which demolishes the myths currently masquerading as Gunn 'history'. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern, mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. Gunns should not be viewed as a clan as they had no founding ancestor. There was never an historic 'Clan Gunn Chief'. The first Gunn known to history was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line - many descendants from that line exist all around the world. Major detail on this MacHamish line is included. This book is an important addition to Scottish Highland history.
Download or read book The Grahams of Pennsylvania and Virginia written by Alicia M. G. Graham and published by Alicia M. G. Graham. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book both for the reader with a casual interest in ancestry, and the serious researcher of Scottish genealogies. It starts by tracing the ancestry of the Grahams of Grayville, Illinois, to Pennsylvania and Virginia. In the course of following their trails to Ireland and Scotland, the author amasses a library of church history, geography, archaeological data, land records, DNA, military and other historical records that stretches as far back as the first recorded Graham in Scotland, William de Graham. This collection of reference data is preserved in the appendices to assist researchers of Scots-Irish ancestry, not just Grahams. Our Grahams of Pennsylvania and Virginia also includes information on related clans such as the Kirkpatricks, Corries, Murrays, and Armstrongs and provides a new perspective on Scottish history and the origin of the Scottish people using the latest Y-DNA and archaeological data available. It breaks new ground and punctures some long-held misconceptions of family genealogies. It also postulates theories that would explain the facts and circumstances behind several major events, as well as family connections, and legends of Scottish history. Additional DNA testing may eventually prove which theories are correct. Our Grahams of Pennsylvania and Virginia contains a treasure of reference material that can be used by researchers of all levels. It is meticulously researched, fully sourced, and provides access information for almost all source material.
