I am currently writing a companion volume to Scotland and Europe which will examine the political and diplomatic links across both the insular and continental worlds. I have explored commercial connections and migration, but also religious and cultural interactions, such as saintly cults and pilgrimages. Most of my research concerns later medieval Scotland and its links with other countries. David Ditchburn Associate Professor in Medieval History Research Interests Finally, the relationship between saints cults, piety and regnal and regional identity in medieval Scotland is scrutinised in chapters on St Margaret and St Ninian.Dr. Further chapters consider the social influence and legal and tenurial rights vested in aristocratic lineages, regional gentry communities, and the leaders of burghal corporations. The volume includes significant reassessments of the reputations of two kings, Alexander I of Scotland and Henry V of England an examination of Richard III's relationship to the lordship of Pontefract and a study of the development of royal pardon in late medieval Scotland. Dr Grant's famously wide and diverse historical interests are here reflected through three main foci: kingship, lordship and identity. Its contributors engage with the profound shift in thinking about this society in the light of his scholarship, and the development of the "New Orthodoxy", both attending to the legacy of this discourse, and offering new research with which to challenge or amend our understanding of late medieval Scotland and northern England.
