When Scotland Was Jewish
The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
Mediaeval Hospitals of England
First Published in 2004. The study of these ancient charities calls attention to extent of leprosy in England and the early foundations for strangers linked to the widespread practice of pilgrimage. This title aims to serve as an example and pattern for young and earnest students of real history, the history of ordinary human beings rather than of generals and of kings. This also acts as a book of reference for readers and writers, a treatise on the Mediaeval Hospitals of England.
