Stephen Boardman Knihy
Stephen Boardman je prednášajúcim škótskych dejín na Univerzite v Edinburghu. Jeho výskum sa zameriava na rané a stredoveké škótske dejiny, so zvláštnym dôrazom na sociálne a politické dejiny. Boardmanove práce sa vyznačujú dôkladným skúmaním primárnych prameňov a snahou o novú interpretáciu kľúčových udalostí a období škótskych dejín. Jeho publikácie prispievajú k hlbšiemu pochopeniu formovania škótskej identity a štátnosti v stredoveku.
