A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Few kings deserve more than David I the reputation as 'maker' of his kingdom. Although overshadowed in popular memory by his descendant, the later 'saviour' of Scotland, Robert Bruce, it was David who laid the foundations of the medieval Scottish monarchy and set in train the changes that created the kingdom that vied with England for mastery of the British Isles. In a reign spanning nearly three decades, David moved his kingdom from the periphery towards the heart of European civilisation.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Richard Oram is Lecturer in Medieval Scottish History and Environmental History at the University of Stirling, a past editor of History Scotland, the popular Scottish history magazine, and editor of Scottish Monarchs royal biography series.
