During this time, Scotland experienced a social and cultural revolution as it was drawn into an English and mainland European orbit by a series of outward looking kings who readily embraced the forms and fashions of continental kingship.Alongside a political narrative which sets the main trends and developments into their national and international context, Richard Oram explores a series of key issues and groups, including the development of the Church and the emergence of urban communities, and offers a new evaluation of the process of state-building and the interplay of the themes of continuity and change.Richard Oram is Professor of Medieval and Environmental History and Director for the Centre for Environmental History at the University of Stirling.
