Illustrated guide to Scottish medieval heraldry, the first to link heraldry to major events in Scottish history and to the families that took part in them.Winner of the Saltire Society's 2007 History Book Award Scottish heraldry can be said to begin in the mid-twelfth century, when material of Scottish interest first appears in a number of English and Continental rolls-of-arms, and as the years passed it developed an increasing complexity and sophistication, establishing itself as a subject in its own right in the seventeenth century with the appearance of the Lyon register. This volume is the first to link heraldry to major events in Scottish history and to the families that took part in them. It uses a wide range of sources to chart its growth, some of which have been rarely explored previously, thus bringing much new material into the corpus of Scottish heraldry. It also covers the major families and clans - Stewarts, Douglas, Murrays, Hamiltons, Gordons and MacDonalds - and examines a host of other issues, both technical and historical. Throughout it is richly illustrated with some two hundred chart pedigrees and fully-coloured coats-of-arms.

"Locating information on women is difficult and the editors have done a fine job assembling and publishing information extant on individual women from many nations both living and dead. Because in some cases only birth, marriage, children, and death dates are known, the 10,000 articles vary in length according to the subject. If you haven't been able to answer reference questions on women, you need this set."--"Outstanding Reference Sources," American Libraries, May 2001

El triángulo. Alumna de la libertad trata de presentar, con técnicas de novela, y por tanto con todos los recursos de la ficción, los resultados de una intensa investigación histórica en archivos y bibliotecas de España y Europa, con especial atención a los increíbles fondos documentales del Vaticano, casi no utilizados hasta ahora para este período. Sin descuidar el trasfondo histórico se describen preferentemente los aspectos humanos de los personajes. La gran novelística española contemporánea (Valle-Inclán, Galdós, Blasco Ibáñez, Jarnés, Baroja) ha presentado arrebatadoramente una imagen muy deformada de la época isabelina, mientras los historiadores de nuestra época menosprecian increíblemente el aspecto humano, el factor humano que tantas veces decide la historia. Esta obra pretende suplir esos vacíos. El triángulo. Alumna de la libertad comprende los antecedentes y la adolescencia de Isabel II hasta su boda trágica en 1846 con su primo el rey Francisco de Asís, duque de Cádiz. El triángulo se refiere a la especialísima relación, tan real como desconocida, entre tres personas que en buena parte hicieron la historia: la reina Isabel, sor María...
