Publisher Description: Bloodfeud was built into the structure of society in sixteenth-century Scotland, and feuding was governed by its own rules. This book examines a turbulent period in Clan Cameron's history, spanning the last years of the chiefship of Donald Dow McConnell (1553-69) and the early years of Allan McConnell Dow (1569-1647). As rival factions vied for power, it was unclear who would lead the clan into the next century. The story of the Erracht Feud is significant not only for the history of Clan Cameron and Lochaber, but for how we understand the nature of feuds and feuding in Early Modern Scotland. |
