Excerpt: ... conduct, they were shipped by their father on board a vessel without rudder or oars, and by some strange chance found their way to the shores of a distant island, since known as Albion. There were no men; but, from the embraces of demons, who inhabited the island, these ladies produced a race of giants, by whom the country was possessed until Brutus, great-grandson of Eneas the Trojan, banished on account of the accidental death of his father, arrived at this distant region with his companions. By them the giants were subdued; and thereupon Albion, now called Britain, was divided among the three sons of Brutus, named respectively Locrinus, Albanactus, and Cambrus. From Cambrus descended the people of Wales; from Albanactus the Scots of Albyn; while Locrinus and his descendants possessed the remainder of the island, with a right of superiority over the others.1 Some years after the death of Brutus, a certain king of Hungary, named Humber, came on board ship to Albyn, and slew Albanactus; but, being pursued by Locrinus, was drowned in a river, thenceforth called by his name the Humber---and so Albyn reverted to Locrinus. Afterwards Albyn was given out to Brenius, one of the two sons of Dunwallo, to be held under the king of Britain, according to the Trojan customs. From these transactions flowed, among other important consequences, the feudal superiority of the kings of England over the kingdom of Scotland.2 It may seem incredible, but is yet true, that the greater part of this preposterous story was adopted, and put forward in the claim of Edward I. to be " Lord Paramount" of Scotland, and afterwards incorporated in a solemn pleading addressed xiv.

Download or read book National Heroes and National Identities written by Linas Eriksonas and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the concept of the heroic, questions what it is that makes the national hero an indispensable appendage to any possible interpretation of national identity, and asks why scholars stop short before coming to terms with this elusive phenomenon. It finds answers by following heroic traditions in Scotland, Norway and Lithuania from the early modern period to the twentieth century. The book argues that heroic traditions - prevailing trends in situating heroes in national history - owe much to the early modern state. Both national heroes and the nation state had been conceived with a similar moral political mindset that looked for new ways to identify sources for commonality. The confluence of political theory and Realpolitik attested to three classical types of polities, i.e. civitas popularis (democracy), regnum (kingship), and optimatium (aristocracy), as found at that time in Scotland, Norway and Lithuania respectively. The author shows the varied impact these patterns had on heroic traditions. The long record of national heroes in Scotland is explained as a vestige of the legacy of civic humanism, the continuing traditions of the heroic king-lines in Norway are seen as a result of long-standing absolutism, while the belated arrival of national heroes in Lithuania is excused by the country's aristocratic if at times oligarchic past.

This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the Union between Scotland and England is once again under the spotlight, Remembering the Past in Nineteenth-Century Scotland examines the way in which Scotland's national heroes were once remembered as champions of both Scottish and British patriotism.Whereas current, popular orthodoxy claims that 19th-century Scotland was a mire of sentimental Jacobitism and kow-towing unionism, this book shows that Scotland's national heroes embodied a consistent, expressive and robust view of Scottish nationality. From the potent legacy of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, through the controversial figure of the reformer, John Knox, to the largely neglected religious radicals, the Covenanters, these heroes once played a vital role in the formation of the virtues that made 19th-century Britain great. Examined through the prism of commemoration, this book uncovers a reading of Scotland's past entirely opposed to the now dominant narratives of medieval proto-nationalism and Calvinist misery.
