| Abstract | England and Scotland remained formally at war throughout the later Middle Ages (save for two very short-lived peace treaties). This strand of three sessions will examine various aspects of Anglo-Scottish relations in this period, discussing how interactions between Englishmen and Scots, and their perceptions of each other, were shaped by intermittent but persistent hostilities. This session will focus on the nature of English perceptions of the Scots as opponents in war; on the huge complexity of the Scots' reactions to English invasions; and a discussion of the nature of Anglo-Scottish diplomacy more generally. |
