The people of medieval Scotland 1093–1371

Taylor, Alice [princip. invest.], and Matthew Hammond [co-invest.], The people of medieval Scotland 1093–1371, Online: King's College, London, University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, ?–present. URL: <https://www.poms.ac.uk>.

abstract:

The database contains all information that can be assembled about every individual involved in actions in Scotland or relating to Scotland in documents written between the death of Malcolm III on 13 November 1093 and Robert I's parliament at Cambuskenneth on 6 November 1314. The bounds of the kingdom of the Scots changed during this period; for the sake of consistency, the database covers all the territory that had become part of Scotland by the death of Alexander III. (This means that the Isle of Man and Berwick are included, but Orkney and Shetland are not.) Also, the database is not simply a list of everyone who is ever mentioned. It is designed to reflect the interactions and relationships between people as this is represented in the documents.

Taylor, Alice [princip. invest.], The community of the realm in Scotland, 1249–1424, Online, ?–present. URL: <https://cotr.ac.uk>.

abstract:

The 'community of the realm in Scotland' project (COTR) is an innovative collaborative research project which will show how new ways of representing medieval texts in digital media can yield new understandings of medieval political communities and their written manifestations. This website provides resources on medieval Scotland during the Wars of Independence with England for public consumption and highlights our new approach to representing key documents and texts from Scotland’s medieval past.

Models of authority: Scottish charters and the emergence of government

Broun, Dauvit [princ. invest.], Peter A. Stokes, Tessa Webber, Alice Taylor, Joanne Tucker, and Stewart J. Brookes [co-investigators], Models of authority: Scottish charters and the emergence of government, Online, 2015–present. URL: <https://www.modelsofauthority.ac.uk>.

abstract:

Models of Authority: Scottish Charters and the Emergence of Government is a resource for the study of the contents, script and physical appearance of the corpus of Scottish charters which survives from 1100–1250. Through close examination of the diplomatic and palaeographic features of the charters, the project will explore the evidence for developments in the perception of royal government during a crucial period in Scottish history. The project is funded by the AHRC (2014-2017) and is a collaboration between scholars from the Universities of Glasgow, Cambridge and King's College London.
