Shetland documents, 1195-1579 - Softcover
Shetland Documents 1195-1579 is a collection of texts from the medieval and early modern period. It commences in the high middle ages, when Shetland was administered directly from Norway, and ends during years when Shetlanders were coming to terms with new rulers from Scotland. The volume contains 250 documents from record offices in Scandinavia, Germany and Britain. Many of the texts appear in translation for the first time. They concern the administrative and economic affairs of Shetland, and the private transactions of numerous Shetlanders, during several centuries. The climax of the volume is a new edition of the lengthy and vivid complaint by 700 islanders against their governor Laurence Bruce in February 1577. John Ballantyne is a private researcher in Edinburgh. He visits Shetland frequently. Brian Smith is archivist of Shetland Islands Council.
