Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charters and Other Documents Relating to the Royal Burgh of Stirling: A. D. 1124-1705 The Charter of 1226 is granted to "our burgesses of Strivelyn," implying a previous burghal organization, while the charters of King David the First(1124-53) and King William the Lion(1165-1214), reprinted in this volume, refer to my burgh of Stirling as an existing institution. In the words of the warrant for the charter by King Charles the First, Stirling was "ane of the maist ancient burghes of this his Hienes kingdom of Scotland, being erectet before the days of umquhile King Alexander." As accounting, so far, for the lateness in date of the first direct grant from the crown, it may be mentioned that it was not till the reign of Alexanders immediate predecessor that burghs appear to have begun to ask and obtain charters from the King. Alexanders charter to Stirling is somewhat similar to those granted to some other Royal Burghs in his and the preceding reign, and is partly made up of provisions imported from the old laws relating to burghs and made applicable to the special circumstances of Stirling. The original has not been preserved, but it has fortunately been engrossed at full length in a confirmatory charter by King David II., which is still in existence, and is in a good state of preservation. A facsimile of it, produced by photo-lithography, is prefixed to the volume There is also given the photo-lithograph of another charter, about which a word may be said. Originally each burgess, as a crown vassal, paid a yearly rent to the King for his property in the burgh. These rents, with the small customs, fines of the burgh court, c., in course of time came to be collected by the bailies of the burgh, who, at intervals of usually a year or more, accounted for their intromissions to the Great Chamberlain, and had their accounts audited in exchequer.

Book The Shape of the State in Medieval Scotland 1124 1290

Download or read book The Shape of the State in Medieval Scotland 1124 1290 written by Alice Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length study of Scottish royal government in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries ever to have been written. It uses untapped legal evidence to set out a new narrative of governmental development. Between 1124 and 1290, the way in which kings of Scots ruled their kingdom transformed. By 1290 accountable officials, a system of royal courts, and complex common law procedures had all been introduced, none of which could have been envisaged in 1124. The Shape of the State in Medieval Scotland, 1124-1290 argues that governmental development was a dynamic phenomenon, taking place over the long term. For the first half of the twelfth century, kings ruled primarily through personal relationships and patronage, only ruling through administrative and judicial officers in the south of their kingdom. In the second half of the twelfth century, these officers spread north but it was only in the late twelfth century that kings routinely ruled through institutions. Throughout this period of profound change, kings relied on aristocratic power as an increasingly formal part of royal government. In putting forward this narrative, Alice Taylor refines or overturns previous understandings in Scottish historiography of subjects as diverse as the development of the Scottish common law, feuding and compensation, Anglo-Norman 'feudalism', the importance of the reign of David I, recordkeeping, and the kingdom's military organisation. In addition, she argues that Scottish royal government was not a miniature version of English government; there were profound differences between the two polities arising from the different role and function aristocratic power played in each kingdom. The volume also has wider significance. The formalisation of aristocratic power within and alongside the institutions of royal government in Scotland forces us to question whether the rise of royal power necessarily means the consequent decline of aristocratic power in medieval polities. The book thus not only explains an important period in the history of Scotland, it places the experience of Scotland at the heart of the process of European state formation as a whole.

Book The Burghs and Parliament in Scotland c 1550 1651

Download or read book The Burghs and Parliament in Scotland c 1550 1651 written by Alan R. MacDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing studies of early modern Scotland tend to focus on the crown, the nobility and the church. Yet, from the sixteenth century, a unique national representative assembly of the towns, the Convention of Burghs, provides an insight into the activities of another key group in society. Meeting at least once a year, the Convention consisted of representatives from every parliamentary burgh, and was responsible for apportioning taxation, settling disputes between members, regulating weights and measures, negotiating with the crown on issues of concern to the merchant community. The Convention's role in relation to parliament was particularly significant, for it regulated urban representation, admitted new burghs to parliament, and co-ordinated and oversaw the conduct of the burgess estate in parliament. In this, the first full-length study of the burghs and parliament in Scotland, the influence of this institution is fully analysed over a one hundred year period. Drawing extensively on local and national sources, this book sheds new light upon the way in which parliament acted as a point of contact, a place where legislative business was done, relationships formed and status affirmed. The interactions between centre and localities, and between urban and rural elites are prominent themes, as is Edinburgh's position as the leading burgh and the host of parliament. The study builds upon existing scholarship to place Scotland within the wider British and European context and argues that the Scottish parliament was a distinctive and effective institution which was responsive to the needs of the burghs both collectively and individually.
