Produktbeschreibung
During the 16th and 17th centuries, there was significant emigration, both permanent and temporary, from Scotland to the Scandinavian lands of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Some of this was by merchants and craftsmen in search of career opportunities, but most Scots went as soldiers of fortune seeking employment in the armies of Sweden and Norway-Denmark. Following the losing campaigns in 1715 and 1746, numerous Scottish Jacobites sought refuge in Sweden, and in the early modern period, tens of thousands more Scots settled in Scandinavia. This Second Edition expands on and vastly supersedes the original volume. For each Scots-Scandinavian named, Dr. Dobson provides a name, specific place, a date, and the source. In many instances we also learn about the individual's occupation, relations, vessel traveled upon, battles fought in, and more.
