Summary note

"Fiona Watson examines the process of conquest and attempted colonization of one medieval kingdom by another, concentrating on that most vital aspect of conquest: the maintenance of garrisons. She shows how the kingdom of Scotland was able to marshal its resources and create a coherent and cohesive national front to deal with a more powerful enemy and illustrates the complicated and conflicting needs of a medieval society in the face of a developing national consciousness."--Jacket.
