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 include papers comparing the use of documents by rebels in England and Scotland; and examining the interplay of lordship and national government on the Anglo-Scottish Marches in the late-15th and early-16th centuries; and the establishment of a resident English ambassador to the Scottish court in the late-16th century.
