  The Great Russian Famine of...

  The Great Russian Famine of 1601-1603 was one of the most catastrophic events in Russian history, causing widespread death, social instability, and economic distress. This famine occurred during a period of political turmoil, just after the death of Tsar Ivan the Terrible and amid the struggle for the Russian throne. The famine’s impact was felt across Russia, particularly in the central and southern regions, and it highlighted both the fragility of the agrarian economy and the vulnerability of the Russian people to climatic and political disruptions. 
  The context of the famine is crucial to understanding its devastating effects. In the late 16th century, Russia was already experiencing significant strain, including the collapse of the feudal system, a declining central government, and the outbreak of the Time of Troubles, a series of civil wars and foreign invasions. The Russian agricultural system, heavily dependent on the success of yearly harvests, was not equipped to deal with the combination of extreme weather, crop failure, and a lack of effective governance. 
  The famine itself was primarily caused by a series of poor harvests, which were exacerbated by severe weather conditions, including droughts and unseasonably cold winters. The summer of 1601 saw a significant drought, which devastated crops, and the following winter brought freezing temperatures that further hindered the ability to cultivate food. As a result, grain production plummeted, and prices soared, making food increasingly inaccessible to the general population.

  Máel Coluim III 'Canmore' - An...

  Winner of the Frank Watson Book Prize
  The legendary Scottish king Máel Coluim III, also known as 'Malcolm Canmore', is often held to epitomise Scotland's 'ancient Gaelic kings'. But Máel Coluim and his dynasty were in fact newcomers, and their legitimacy and status were far from secure at the beginning of his rule. Máel Coluim's long reign from 1058 until 1093 coincided with the Norman Conquest of England, a revolutionary event that presented great opportunities and terrible dangers. Although his interventions in post-Conquest England eventually cost him his life, the book argues that they were crucial to his success as both king and dynasty-builder, creating internal stability and facilitating the takeover of Strathclyde and Lothian. As a result, Máel Coluim left to his successors a territory that stretched far to the south of the kingship's heartland north of the Forth, similar to the Scotland we know today.
  The book explores the wider political and cultural world in which Máel Coluim lived, guiding the reader through the pitfalls and possibilities offered by the sources that mediate access to that world. Our reliance on so few texts means that the eleventh century poses problems that historians of later eras can avoid. Nevertheless Scotland in Máel Coluim's time generated unprecedented levels of attention abroad and more vernacular literary output than at any time prior to the Stewart era.
