Royal Historical Society Studies in Hist The Scottish Middle March, 1573-1625: Power, Kinship, Allegiance, Book 73, (Paperback)

The Scottish Borders experienced dramatic change on James VI's succession to the throne of England: James was to prosecute a pacification of crime in the region. This volume explores his actions in the Middle March, examining governmental processes and structures of power there before and after the Union. It places the Middle March in the context of Scottish state formation and political control, testing wider claims about the changing nature of governance in early modern Scotland and within a nascent "Great Britain".
