The Bruce Domain: Annandale and the Anglo-Scottish Wars, c.1334-1384

Every student of Scottish history knows the Bruces—the dynasty that gave Scotland its most famous king. Far fewer, however, know the story of their ancestral heartland: the border lordship of Annandale.

This expert history webinar will explore 50 years of the lordship’s bloody history through the experiences of its most well-known families: from the Carlisles, Carruthers, and Corries to the Johnstones and Kirkpatricks.

Join William Mulloy in revisiting the amazing stories of those who once stood, shoulder-to-shoulder, with Scotland’s most famous dynasty. Together, using new doctoral research, we’ll examine how decades of Anglo-Scottish conflict, civil war, and royal captivity reshaped the very fabric of Annandale’s political society.
