The Paradox of Medieval Scotland 1093-1286 – Social Relationships and Identities before the Wars of Independence
POMS contains all information that can be assembled about every individual involved in actions in Scotland or relating to Scotland in documents written between the death of Malcolm III on 13/11/1093 and the death of Alexander III on 19/03/1286. For the sake of consistency, the database covers all the territory that had become part of Scotland by the death of Alexander III. The Isle of Man and Berwick are included, but Orkney and Shetland are not. Also, the database is not simply a list of everyone who is ever mentioned. It is designed to reflect the interactions and relationships between people as this is represented in the documents. The database is focused on the 6016 documents from this period that are directed by one or more individuals to others. This allows the database to be structured according to the formal aspects of these documents, giving it the potential as a means of investigating the ways in which social relationships were mediated by the documents themselves. > View
