Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an erudite exploration of the history of Dundee, from its enigmatic prehistoric origins up to the 16th century. It is a multi-faceted account that positions Dundee within its broader historical context and draws on a wealth of sources, including 12th and 13th century charters, notarial documents, and archaeological finds. The book's multidisciplinary design brings together the work of expert contributors to trace Dundee from its humble origins as a small fishing village to its development as a burgh and a centre of trade and commerce. The authors pay particular attention to the burgh's expansion under Earl David, and examine the evidence for a royal residence and its resulting influence on the town's development. They also delve into the town's pivotal role during the Reformation, and discuss the havoc wreaked by English expeditions during the 16th century. This well-researched study illuminates the rich tapestry of Dundee's past and the forces that shaped its destiny.
