About This Book
A detailed archival study reconstructs a seventeenth-century Scottish military incursion into Norwegian valleys, using newly examined state records and other contemporary documents to correct popular narratives. The historical section follows the expedition’s organization, movements, landings, and engagements as shown in official reports, while a second section collects and compares local ballads and oral traditions that shaped later accounts. Appendices present transcriptions and copies of correspondence and official papers from several national repositories, and illustrations and maps clarify routes and actions. The work aims to reconcile documentary evidence with folklore, offering a sourced, measured retelling of events and their remembrance.
