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.

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.

Download or read book The Declaration of Arbroath written by Edward J. Cowan and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Declaration of Arbroath, 6 April, 1320, is one of the most remarkable documents to have been produced anywhere in medieval Europe. Signed by 51 Scottish nobles, it confirms Scotland's status as an independent sovereign state with the right to use military action if unjustly attacked. Quoted by many, understood by few, its historical significance has now almost been overtaken by its mythic status. Since 1998, the US Senate has claimed that the American Declaration of Independence is modelled upon 'the inspirational document' of Arbroath. This is the first book-length study to examine the origins of the Declaration and the ideas upon which it drew, while tracing the rise of its mythic status in Scotland and exploring its impact upon revolutionary America.

Download or read book The Declaration of Arbroath written by G. W. S. Barrow and published by Society Antiquaries Scotland. This book was released on 2003 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Declaration of Arbroath took the form of a letter or petition sent from the Scottish nobles to Pope John XXII, dated April 6th 1320. In it the nobles argued for their claim to independence and sovereignty under Robert the Bruce, promising obedience and allegiance, and requesting to be left alone by the English. This famous document was not only significant in medieval times but it is said to have been the model for the American Declaration of Independence, bringing its importance and relevance up to the present day. These seven essays are taken from a conference held in Arbroath in 3000 with contributors discussing the Declaration from historical, ideological, architectural and environmental perspectives. The book opens with an English translation of the original Latin version of the Declaration.
