William the Lion: 1143-1214: Kingship and Culture

Although Scotland's longest-reigning king, William the Lion has not attracted the attention of modern biographers. This book offers historians as well as general readers a new and more rounded view of both the domestic conditions and the reputation abroad of William the Lion's Scotland than has been hitherto available. It is based on a wide range of sources, both historical and literary, and this interdisciplinary approach sheds light on a now largely forgotten cultural flowering that took place in Scotland during the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.Owen, D.
