Commonly portrayed as the epicentre of political tension between Norwegian and Scottish fronts, Orkney appears here as a medium for diplomacy between monarchies and as an avenue for interface and cooperation between neighbouring communities. Removed from the national heartlands of Scandinavia and Britain, Orcadians fostered a distinctly local identity that, although rooted in Norwegian law and civic organization, featured a unique cultural accent engendered through Scottish immigration. This study of Orcadian experiences encourages greater appreciation of the peaceful dimensions of pre-modern European frontiers"--Provided by publisher Introduction: Breaking the cycle : national frontiers in question -- Peace and mobility -- Lordship, loyalty and the Earldom of Orkney -- Loyalty, leadership and administration -- Bishops and the border -- Military and defence -- Law and communal identity -- Foreigners and countrymen -- Primary sources -- Secondary works |
