Thorough study of the Comyns, a Norman-Scottish noble family who rose to dominate Scotland in the late 1200s, but were forever disgraced in the eyes of patriotic Scots for opposing William Wallace and, in particular, Robert the Bruce. Bruce's murder of the senior Comyn at Dumfries I 1306 was a critical moment in the struggle which Bruce eventually won to establish himself as ruler of Scotland. Young does not write as a Comyn partisan, but he does stick to a straightforward unbiased account of the family, setting aside much of the traditional obloquy that goes back to Barbour's Bruce and similar accounts.

This volume aims to critically examine the bad reputation gained by the Comyns in post-Bruce Scotland. The name Comyn has long been associated in Scottish tradition with treachery: the family were involved in the infamous kidnapping of the young Alexaner III in 1257, were accused of treachery against William Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, and of betraying Robert Bruce to Edward I of England 1306. This reappraisal of the Comyns' role concludes that the period 1212 to 1314 should be regarded as the Comyn century in Scottish history. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
