Summary

The Scottish Wars of Independence are often celebrated for the heroic deeds of men, but behind the scenes, noblewomen played an equally pivotal role in shaping the nation's fate. In this title, Beth Reid brings to life the stories of these remarkable women, from royalty to influential landowners, whose contributions to Scotland's turbulent history have long been overlooked. From noblewomen like Isabella MacDuff, Agnes Randolph, and Agnes Comyn-who made kings, defended castles, and led conspiracies-to royal women who influenced key decisions and defined dynasties, this book paints a vivid picture of resilience, strategy, and courage.
