Abstract

This ambitious book examines the encounter between Gaels and Europeans in Scotland in the central Middle Ages, offering new insights into an important period in the formation of the Scots' national identity. It is based on a close reading of the texts of several thousand charters, indentures, brieves and other written sources that record the business conducted in royal and baronial courts across the length and breadth of the medieval kingdom between 1150 and 1400.Under the broad themes of land, law and people, this book explores how the customs, laws and traditions of the native inhabitants an

These acts, many of which have never been published before, have been collected from a variety of archives in Scotland, England, Belgium and France.The Introduction examines the administrative contexts of the later thirteenth century in which the royal chancery drafted and authenticated charters, brieves and other written instruments, and the varied sources from which the collection is compiled. The texts include full Latin

Abstract

A set of essays intended to recognize the scholarship of Professor Cynthia Neville, the papers gathered here explore borders and boundaries in medieval and early modern Britain. Over her career, Cynthia has excavated the history of border law and social life on the frontier between England and Scotland and has written extensively of the relationships between natives and newcomers in Scotland’s Middle Ages. Her work repeatedly invokes jurisdiction as both a legal and territorial expression of power. The essays in this volume return to themes and topics touched upon in her corpus of work, all in one way or another examining borders and boundaries as either (or both) spatial and legal constructs that grow from and shape social interaction.

Abstract

Les communications rassemblées dans ce volume, qui furent présentées au congrès international de Montréal-Ottawa en mai 2002, montrent que l'histoire de l'information au Moyen Âge est en pleine mutation. Il ne s'agit plus seulement d'étudier la diffusion des nouvelles pour mieux saisir les arcanes de la propagande ou de la rumeur, et la formation d'une éventuelle opinion publique, mais de comprendre comment les différentes pouvoirs, rois, princes, villes, communautés se sont approprié l'information jusqu'à en faire une manifestation de leur honneur. L'information prend alors son sens médiéval le plus strict pour être vécue comme une enquête, une instruction aux exigences techniques, bref comme une quête de la vérité. Son dévoilement est soumis à un certain nombre de codes, qui lui confèrent une légitimité, voire même une véritable sacralité. Aux rituels nécessaires participent, aussi bien que les émetteurs et les récepteurs, les intermédiaires que sont les messagers, les hérauts, les crieurs. Malgré sa fragilité, due aux conditions matérielles auxquelles elle reste toujours soumise – temps troublés, insuffisance des moyens mis en œuvre, difficulté de contrôler la « fausse nouvelle », qui engendre la méfiance –, l'information au Moyen Âge contribue néanmoins à poser les fondements du lien social et à transformer le simple individu en détenteur de « vraye science », selon l'idéal de prud'hommie généralisé depuis le xiiie siècle.
