Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough treatise on the lineage of Scottish Kings, which explores the rival claims to the throne of King Robert Bruce and John Balliol in 1306. It argues that Bruce's right to the Scottish throne was stronger because kingship in Scotland was and always had been hereditary, not elective. Through an examination of written accounts of the succession controversy, the author posits that the rule for inheriting private estates could not be applied to determine royal succession. He contends that royal succession in Scotland is determined solely by proximity of blood. Additionally, the author discusses the role of the Pope in legitimizing the rights of kings. The book provides a detailed account of the tumultuous political climate of medieval Scotland and a clear examination of the legal and political debates surrounding the nature of kingship. Its arguments stand as an important contribution to the understanding of monarchical succession and the evolution of feudal law.
