James A. Mackay Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

The system of clans grew out of ancient Celtic tribal traditions and is based on a fierce love for both family and homeland. People the world over eagerly trace their ancestry to claim they are descended from ancient clans, and new tartans are regularly designed and approved. Clans and Tartans looks at the origins, both geographical and historical, of tartans from Scottish clans. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 color photographs, this is an indispensable guide to Celtic ancestry.

Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history's greatest heroes, but also one of its greatest enigmas—a shadowy figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. James MacKay uses all his skills as a historical detective to produce this definitive biography, telling the incredible story of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become Guardian of Scotland. William Wallace, with superb generalship and tactical genius, led a country with no previous warlike tradition to triumph gloriously over the much larger, better-armed, and better-trained English forces. 700 years later, the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and the dark atrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal and powerful empire, still create a compelling tale.
