Edinburgh and the Reformation

Studies of the Scottish Reformation have tended to pay too little attention to the nature of Scottish society itself.  In a society so conscious of rank, tradition and precedent the Reformation could only make progress where it did not disturb the existing order.  In Edinburgh the new religion was obliged to work within the natural constraints of burgh life. This important and innovative study shows how the Protestant reformers' early promises to create a new and godly society provoked a backlash - extremism had to be abandoned and a more conciliatory approach adopted.  The result was that power remained in much the same hands in the 1580s as it had in the 1540s, with one real difference - there was more of it.

Scotland Under Morton 1572-80

Hewitt, George R.

<p>For many years historians have ignored the men and families whose territorial power and local leadership made them a cardinal force in medieval Scotland. They were, as the historian K.B. McFarlane put it, 'the victims of a strong prejudice in favour of the Crown': there was an unwillingness to discuss individual barons save from the viewpoint of the king, and there was also a strong tendency to malign the nobility for a chronic turbulence and a natural antagonism towards the monarchy.The Scottish Baronial Research Group was founded in 1969 to redress this balance. The contents of this book are made up of a number of essays which were presented as papers at the group's annual conference in 1985, and demonstrate that in the space of a short time, much serious research had taken place. Together they bring us closer to a 'history' of the nobility of medieval Scotland and as such this book is a major landmark in Scottish medieval history.</p>
