The Lordship of Galloway: c.900 t c.1300

The Lordship of Galloway offers new interpretations of the origins and development of the kingdom or lordship of Galloway, tracing its evolution from the Norse diaspora that followed the expulsion of the Vikings from Dublin in the early tenth century and the resulting establishment of new colonies around the Irish Sea, through the ever-shifting pattern of regional power in the eleventh century, to the emergence of the lordship itself in the early 1100s.
