Scottish Soldiers in France in the Reign of the Sun King: Nursery for Men of Honour by Matthew Glozier
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.6 MB
Overview: This book grew out of doctoral research on Scottish soldiers in France and the Netherlands c. 1660–92. It was apparent at the time how great was the scope of such a study, and the decision to restrict the current work to France alone is the result of this. The Scottish contribution to the armies of the Sun King was indeed small, but it was by no means insignificant. Their efforts and sacrifices are all the more important because of what preceded them, and because of what would follow. It is all too easy to see the contribution of men such as George Douglas, Earl of Dumbarton, or Andrew Rutherford, Earl of Teviot, as just another chapter in the what many historians insist on seeing as a surviving “auld” alliance between Scotland and France.
