Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book features extracts from the Acts of the Privy Council of Scotland, illuminating the tumultuous period following the union of the Scottish and English Crowns in 1603. The texts shed light on the aggressive and bloody measures employed by the Scottish state against the outlaw clan known as the MacGregors. Claimed by legendary descent from ancient Scottish kings, the once powerful clan had been gradually reduced to raiding and theft. The government's response was as brutal as it was ineffective, with the MacGregors becoming notorious for sacrifices of human life and the slaughter of livestock. Caught between state-sponsored persecution and the demands of local lairds and magnates, the Clan's plight offers a window into both the fractious nature of Highland society and the incremental influence of the Scottish Crown in regions that had long resisted its authority.
