Sinopse

The Last Laird of MacNab is a poignant and evocative exploration of family, heritage, and the inexorable passage of time set against the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. This collection of narratives, penned by various authors, elegantly weaves historical accounts with rich fictional elements, embodying a lyrical style that resonates with both the rugged landscape and the intricate tapestry of Scottish culture. Illustrated with local lore, the book's varied perspectives illuminate the legacy of the MacNab family, capturing their struggles and triumphs as they navigate the socio-political shifts of their time, particularly during the decline of clan power in the 18th and 19th centuries. The contributors to this anthology, many of whom hail from Scottish descent or possess a profound connection to the region, draw upon personal experiences and historical research to breathe life into the MacNab narrative. Their collective voice showcases a blend of scholarly insight and heartfelt storytelling, reflecting a broader theme of identity and belonging that resonates deeply with contemporary readers. Each author's unique perspective adds layers of meaning, transforming the historical account into a vehicle for understanding modern Scottish identity. I highly recommend The Last Laird of MacNab to anyone seeking a deep, reflective journey into Scottish heritage and the human spirit's resilience. This book is not merely a recounting of history, but a rich tapestry of lived experiences that invites readers to ponder their own connection to the past. Whether you are a historian, a lover of Scottish culture, or a general reader in search of compelling stories, this anthology promises to captivate and inspire.

    Medieval Europe’s Mercenaries:...

    The Middle Ages have long been remembered for armored knights battling on horseback and armies of men trying to breach the walls of formidable castles, but what is generally forgotten is that medieval warfare was constantly adapting to the times as leaders adopted new techniques and technology, and common infantry became increasingly important throughout the period. Meanwhile, political and technological progress led to continuous change of tactics and equipment. Cavalry became ascendant, only to be later replaced by infantry as their weapons improved, and by the end of the period, warfare was radically changing thanks to the rise of gunpowder weapons such as the handgonne and the bombard. 
    The Middle Ages witnessed almost constant warfare in Europe, so mercenaries were a constant on the battlefield, but the 15th century also saw the rise of mercenary usage by the increasingly wealthy aristocracy. At the time, England and France existed in smaller versions than in the modern age, while the Spanish had unified into a few large kingdoms and were slowly pushing the Moors off the Iberian Peninsula. Norway and Hungary were larger than they are now, but otherwise, most of Europe was a patchwork quilt of small, constantly warring states. This was especially true in Germany and Italy, where innumerable city-states and little fiefdoms struggled to gain more territory and defend themselves against their neighbors.
