A Short History of Scotland Chapter 10 - Early Stuart Kings - Robert II
from The Andrew Lang Library · host Andrew Lang
In which the peaceful twilight of Robert II's reign gives way to the troubled and feeble rule of his son Robert III, beset by internal strife, clan conflicts, and the captivity of his heir James I., while Scotland grapples with lawlessness and the stirrings of religious dissent. The regency of Albany sees elusive balance amid noble rivalries and foreign wars, as the Scottish spirit endures through alliances with France and valiant resistance against encroaching powers.
