| Abstract | This strand of three sessions will examine various aspects of Anglo-Scottish relations from the 13th to the 16th centuries, discussing how interactions between Englishmen and Scots, and their perceptions of each other, were shaped by a period of peaceful co-existence followed by intermittent but persistent hostilities. The third session will discuss whether the battle of Bannockburn was as 'decisive' as has usually been supposed; whether Sir Andrew de Harcla was a hero or, as he was remembered in official documents, 'the king's enemy and rebel'; and the role played by the so-called Geraldine League in Anglo-Scottish relations in the wake of the Kildare rebellion. |
