David Balfour Knihy

The book presents a thorough examination of the oppression experienced by the inhabitants of Orkney and Zetland in the sixteenth century, drawing from original documents. It details the harsh conditions imposed by the ruling Norse Earls and the resistance of the local populace in their quest for justice. Balfour's clear writing style makes the historical account accessible, providing insights into the social, economic, and political struggles of the time. This work serves as an important resource for understanding the history of these islands and Scotland as a whole.
