Présentation de l'éditeur
During the reign of Malcolm IV, King of the Scots, Hugh de Swinton and his fellow mosstroopers helped keep the rampaging Galloway rebels at bay. But it was for his expertise in the killing of wild boars, as protector of the Swintons' sheep flocks, that young Hugh was brought to Malcolm's attention.
But Malcolm was a pious man much concerned with the well-being of his people. And he handpicked Hugh de Swinton to mastermind a very special project close to his heart: to establish Scotland's first real hospital for the sick and poor, at Soutra in Lauderdale.

Dust jacket is in good condition. Dust jacket condition preserved within new clear plastic removable non-adhesive protective covering. 'During the late 12th century many parts of Scotland were menaced by wild boars, slayers of humans as well as of sheep and cattle. Particularly affected was the Merse, the area we now know as Berwickshire. Young Hugh de Swinton was only the second son of a second son, but he had been brought to the attention of Malcolm the Fourth, King of Scots, for his expertise in killing boars. A man of initiative and drive. Hugh became leader of the mosstroopers who acted as scouts for the armies defending their land against the Celtic marauders. So while he continued to manage the Swintons' large sheep flocks, he also helped to put down the Galloway rebels. But Malcolm, a pious king much concerned for the well-being of his people, had a very different project in mind for Hugh de Swinton, one for which he would eventually be knighted: to establish the first real hospital for the sick and poor in Scotland, at Soutra in Lauderdale. Once more, Nigel Tranter's rich imagination and fascinating research combine to bring the history of Scotland to vivid life.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Quantity Available: 1.
