It constitutes the first full-length, multi-author study of the king and his reign. The nine contributors to the volume explore issues as diverse as the historiography of the reign, Anglo-Scottish relations, Church-State relations, economy and international trade, law, aristocratic symbolism, urban development and the territorial expansion of the kingdom. This book, the first major study of a reign which saw the Scottish monarchy achieve its mastery of northern mainland Britain, is of great importance to historians of medieval Scotland and the wider British Isles. The book is illustrated with 24 colour and b/w photographs and 5 maps and plans. 410 0$aThe Northern World ;$v16. 607 $aScotland$xHistory$yAlexander II, 1214-1249 676 $a941.102 702 $aOram$b Richard D. 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784185103321 996 $aThe Reign of Alexander II, 1214-49$93754083 997 $aUNINA
