This is a history of kingship in Scotland from the Dalriadic takeover up to the Great Cause presided over by Edward I of England. The author presents a meticulously researched account of how Edward I became overlord of Scotland, and of the debate between Balliol and Bruce, disentangling the facts from the accepted account drawn up by Edward's notary, and showing that records can indeed lie.

A challenging, and eminently readable, survey. This is a big, bold and provocative book! Duncan's examination of Scottish kingship over a formative period is the fruit of a lifetime of careful and meticulous scholarship! none will come away from the work without a deep appreciation for the skills with which a senior historian of his caliber can recast long held beliefs about the Scots' relations with their powerful neighbor.
