The Acts of Malcolm IV King of Scots 1153-1165 Edited by G. W. S. Barrow Volume I of the Regesta Regum Scottorum series covers the Acts of Malcolm IV, King of Scots from 1153 to 1165. Geoffrey Barrow, author of Robert the Bruce, here attends to the reign of Malcolm IV, a young Scottish king who had to contend with powerful contemporaries such as Somerled, King of the Isles, and King Henry II of England. This volume, updated from an earlier handlist from 1960, includes Scottish royal acts prior to 1153 not included in Sir Archibald Lawrie's 'Early Scottish Charters'. The Regesta Regum Scottorum series has already made available in print a definitive edition of the written acts of several of the medieval kings of Scotland. It remains the standard reference for Scottish, British and European scholars interested in the history of royal chanceries, the evolution of medieval royal government and the growth of literate modes of expression in the Middle Ages.
