商品簡介
In this fresh take on Scottish history, Keith M. Brown examines the roles that nobles played in ruling 16th and 17th century Scotland on every level-- politcally, economically, socially, and culturally--and ultimately argues that noble power permeated the layers of Scottish society despite the Reformation and Covenanting Revolution. Historians have long disputed that this age was characterized by the rise of the common Scot, but this volume proposes that the position of the nobility--chieftains, courtiers, parliamentarians, politicians, and soldiers--remained fundamentally unaltered despite religious and political upheaval.
