England’s Northern Frontier
In this important and elegantly written book, Jackson Armstrong urges English historians to look with new eyes on the northern marches of the kingdom in the late Middle Ages. The border region, consisting of the three counties of Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmorland, has long been considered a region distinct from the rest of the kingdom: isolated, lawless, highly (and enduringly) militarised, economically backward and, above all, a land of…

The beginnings of royal pardon in Scotland
The well attested (and comprehensively studied) animus that informed English attitudes towards the Gaelic-speaking peoples of the British Isles in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries has tended to obscure important developments in the legal landscape of contemporary Scotland. This article argues that soon after 1200, the king of Scots deliberately abandoned as barbaric, obnoxious and unbecoming a Christian prince the practice of mutilating high-…
Children and Youth in Premodern Scotland
Children and youth have tended to be under-reported in the historical scholarship. This collection of essays recasts the historical narrative by populating premodern Scottish communities from the thirteenth to the late eighteenth centuries with their lively experiences and voices. By examining medieval and early modern Scottish communities through the lens of age, the collection counters traditional assumptions that young people are peripheral to…

The Brus Family in England and Scotland 1100?1295 By Ruth M. Blakely
Women, charters and land ownership in Scotland, 1150–1350
This essay examines some of the contexts in which women appear especially in non-royal deeds from the kingdom of Scotland in the years between roughly 1150 and 1350. It is based on a survey of several thousand charters written on behalf of both men and women, native, Anglo-Norman and European. It considers how charter evidence may be used to illuminate the extent to which women both used and shaped the laws and customs that governed the conveyanc…

Scottish Influences on the Medieval Laws of the Anglo-Scottish Marches
It is something of a commonplace among historians that the bitter con flict between England and Scotland which occurred from 1296 to 1328 the so-called First War of Independence was one in which the Scots lost many of the battles but won the war. The outcome of the hostilities was formal recognition in the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton of 1328 that Scotland was a realm * entire, free, and quit, and without any subjec tion, servitude, claim or d…

The Courts of the Prior and the Bishop of Durham in the Later Middle Ages
The operation of the common law in late medieval county Durham was characterized by several unique features. Among these were the independence of episcopal officials from interference from royal agents in the execution of the law, and the great variety of temporal courts found there. Within the lands of the palatinate, jurisdiction over suspects accused of felony was shared by both the bishop and the prior of Durham. The origins of this unusual d…

The Law of Treason in the English Border Counties in the Later Middle Ages
In the parliament held at Leicester in the spring of 1414, King Henry V was confronted with a long list of grievances on the part of the common folk of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland. A formal petition decried the contempt with which the terms of truces made with Scotland and royal letters of safe conduct were treated. The commons further complained that men of the liberties of Tynedale, Redesdale, and Hexham daily committed “many mu…

Common Knowledge of the Common Law in Later Medieval England
Despite their complexity, the rules and regulations governing the substance and procedure of the common law in later medieval England were surprisingly well understood by the medieval men and women who appeared in court as defendants. This paper examines records of sessions of gaol delivery, before which accusations of felony were put to trial, for the northern circuit in the years 13541460. It explores the ways in which a significant number of …

On April 30, 1408, Archbishop Henry Bowet of York issued a commission ordering the deprivation of John, prior of the tiny and impoverished monastery of Hexham.

Native Lords and the Church in Thirteenth-Century Strathearn, Scotland
The thirteenth century in Scotland witnessed a determined effort on the part of the crown and its ecclesiastical officials to initiate a series of reforms comparable to those that had so deeply altered the social and religious life of England and continental Europe. An important aspect of the transformation that occurred in Scotland was the consolidation of a network of parish churches throughout the kingdom. Scottish authorities, however, encoun…
