COINAGE, LANDSCAPE AND SOCIETY IN THE BORDERLANDS
CARL SAVAGE
In early 1136, David I of Scotland began to mint the first Scottish coins after his acquisition of Carlisle in northern England, thus beginning a complex monetary relationship between England and Scotland. This monetary and political relationship not only significantly impacted the Anglo-Scottish borderlands, but also national politics. As coinage can be more closely dated compared with other archaeological material, it offers a unique way to explore the complex political, economic and social relationships that characterise the Anglo-Scottish borders.This book compiles a new and comprehensive dataset of medieval coins from the border region from 1136-1603, drawing together both English and Scottish data for the first time. The findings presented here offer new and important insights into the ways in which currency movement and use across the border and within the border region varied over time, and the economic, social and political drivers which underlay these patterns.
