It deals with themes including the nature of the power enjoyed by kings, how that power was maintained and how it was deployed; the interpersonal relations and struggles between kings and the elites within their kingdoms; and, the structures of governance through which power operated and was felt down to a local level. \nLate medieval Scotland is especially fertile ground for an examination of all of these themes as two new dynasties – the Bruces and the Stewarts – were faced with the challenge of establishing their own legitimacy and authority.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246072615256,"sku":"9780748645879","price":102.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780748645879.jpg?v=1768041942","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/power-and-propaganda","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
