The impact of the crusading movement in Scotland 1095-1560

The involvement of Scots in the Crusades has never been
studied in detail either by historians of Scotland or of the
Crusades, but it is hoped that the present thesis will show
such a detailed study to be worthwhile.

The present study is divided into three parts. Part One,
"Scottish Participation in the Crusades", explores the
participation of individuals or groups of-Scots who took part
in crusades from the eleventh to fifteenth centuries, and in
the aftermath of the crusades. It consists of four narrative
chapters (numbered 1 to 4), each covering approximately a
century, with the final chapter stretching into the sixteenth
century and down to the Reformation. Part Two, "Institutions
with Crusading Origins or Connections", consists of two
chapters. The first of these (Chapter 5) is a history of the
development of the Military Orders of the Temple and the
Hospital in Scotland, with particular reference to the
relationship of the central organisations of these orders with
their branches in Scotland. Chapter 6 discusses two orders
which had their origins in the crusading movement, the Canons
of Bethlehem (who had a hospital at St Germains in Tranent)
and the Trinitarians "for the Redemption of Captives" (who had
a number of Scottish hospitals); again, the emphasis is on the
relationship between the centre and the Scottish branches.
Part Three, "Attitudes to the Crusades in Scotland", contains
a single chapter. This explores Scottish historical writings,
examining passages describing the crusades, to see if it is
possible to determine what Scottish writers thought about the
crusading movement.

These seven chapters are preceded by an Introduction, which
sets out the main lines of argument pursued in this study,
contains a discussion of the source material used, and explains
the scope and limitations of the work. They are followed by
two Appendices. Appendix I contains edited texts of selected
documents, mostly hitherto unpublished, illustrative of points
raised in the text. Appendix II is a calendar of material
relating to Scotland preserved in the Archives of the Knights
of St. John, now held in the National Library of Malta
