Title: Excellent for any student of the early Middle Ages
Product review: As a non-historian who enjoys reading medieval history, I found Professor Hudson's discussion of kingship and the royal clans interesting, readable, and detailed. His discussion of Mael Coluim II (Malcolm II) was particularly informative and well-written. He is remarkably free from the pro- or anti-MacBeth bias one finds in so many other works on this period. His discussion of Scottish interactions with Anglo-Saxon England explodes the myth that there was always enmity between them, and made me reexamine my assumptions on that topic.
