Sixty-seven kings. Twelve centuries. First published in the late seventeenth century, Richard Burton's The History of the Kingdom of Scotland stands as a classic Scottish history book, a sweeping historical chronicle of Scotland tracing the great transactions and revolutions of the realm. Scotland's story, from crown downward. Moving through middle ages Scotland into medieval and early modern Scotland, with its shifting alliances, church struggles and courtly intrigues, Burton sets the history of Scottish kings against the larger backdrop of Scottish monarchy and politics and the emerging British state. Readers drawn to the Stuart dynasty in Scotland or to Mary Queen of Scots history will find a vivid, tightly woven complete history of Scotland told in the vigorous, direct style of an early modern observer. Long valued as a concise kingdom of Scotland history and as a Scottish history reference volume, Burton's work offers both narrative drive and a clear framework for understanding how a small northern kingdom became central to the story of Britain. For students of British history and curious general readers, it opens a window onto the beliefs, ambitions and anxieties of past ages while remaining brisk and readable. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. It invites both casual enthusiasts and serious collectors to rediscover the people and powers that shaped Scotland's past.
