- This edited volume emerged from a series of workshops and a conference initiated with a fellow PhD student at the University of Stirling. We initially organised two small workshops on the theme of representing authority in Scotland only and successfully applied to Strathmartine Trust for a grant (£250) for two workshops (June 2011 and February 2012) with a view to holding a conference. Widening the remit for the conference to include Scotland and her nearest neighbours, we successfully applied for further funding from the Royal Historical Society (£200) and Stirling’s Graduate Research School, Centre for Scottish Studies and School of Arts of Humanities (£900). The conference drew together established scholars, early career academics and postgraduate students from across the UK, with two speakers from the States, for a two-day event in August 2012. The success of the conference led to the proposal for a collection of essays to Ashgate (imprint of Routledge by 2015-2016) that sought to offer an original contribution by crossing the medieval/ early modern divide, drawing together royal and non-royal strategies and through the variety of mediums the contributions assessed. At the publisher’s request Michael Penman was added to the team. He however insisted on being identified only as a secondary contributor, in recognition and indication of the foundational contributions of Dean and Buchanan in both formulating the novel approach and instigating and carrying the project to fruition. The contributors to the book included speakers from the conference and a few invited scholars to form a more balanced and rounded collection speaking to the theme. Chapters were first reviewed by the editorial team, then by blind reviewers identified by the editors, and finally copy edited by the two lead editors. Dean and Buchanan each submitted a single-authored original research-based chapter and co-authored the introduction to the volume.
