Description

St Andrews, a city of immense significance in medieval Scotland, is the subject of this comprehensive study. The 14 chapters explore various aspects of medieval life in Scotland, using St Andrews as a focal point, from the seventh to the sixteenth century.

The city's importance is still evident in its well-preserved architecture, including the cathedral, castle, and university, which served as the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, a centre of earthly and spiritual government, and an ancient seat of learning.

This volume provides the first full study of St Andrews during its golden age, examining church, spirituality, urban society, and learning in a specific context, allowing for a nuanced understanding of this multi-faceted centre alongside other great religious and political centres of medieval Europe.
