WATERSHEDS IN SCOTTISH HISTORY

Every country has its major turning points in history which profoundly shape its destiny.This course examines some of the main moments of destiny which inadvertently changed Scottish and perhaps World history.The course begins with how the Scottish state came into being by concentrating mainly on the rise of new forms of Kingship which clashed with the interests of the barons, examines the Reformation in Scotland, and asks 'Why Scotland embarked on mass witch-hunts in contrast to Russia which avoided them? How could Scotland have united
with 'the Auld Enemy' England instead of France or Denmark? The legacy of the Jacobite rebellions is also analysed along with the causes,nature and consequences of 'The Highland clearances'.

Anyone is more than welcome to attend those lectures. It is hoped that such lectures will offer a useful insight into the mindset, culture and social history of Scotland.

LECTURE ONE
«WAR WITHOUT END? THE FORMATION OF THE SCOTTISH STATE»

Although the lecture will briefly cover the main background of Scotland in terms of its languages, symbols, climate and terrain, we’ll mainly deal with three watersheds: the wars of Independence, the reign of King Malcolm the 3rd and Margaret (which led to the beginning of a new forms of kinship, land tenure and laws), and two of the King James: the First and the Forth. The main question is how those Kings struggled to maintain a stability which would ensure justice, peace and prosperity. The social problems of Scotland are covered.

Вход на лекции свободный, без предварительной записи.
