Power struggles, rival dynasties, sacred oaths broken in the dark: Scotland's past was forged in conflict and conviction. The stakes were Scotland itself. In Volume II of George Buchanan's monumental History of Scotland, a Scottish history classic of the sixteenth century, the great humanist continues his sweeping chronicle of a kingdom fighting to define its identity between crown, church and clan. Battles, betrayals and hard-won unions unfold against the broader European stage, making this far more than a local chronicle: it is an early modern history book that illuminates how a small realm shaped the politics of the north. Drawing on earlier chronicles and his formidable classical learning, Buchanan traces the evolving political history of Scotland through the struggles of the Scottish monarchy and kings, the long wars of Scotland at home and abroad, and the pressures that would culminate in the reign of James VI. His narrative bridges medieval and Renaissance Scotland and opens onto the world of early modern Scotland history, an essential backdrop to Tudor and Stuart history on both sides of the border. At once literary and analytical, this unabridged classic edition of George Buchanan history serves equally well as compelling reading and as a dependable Scottish history reference book for Scottish history students, researchers and general enthusiasts. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today, a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
