Forteviot

A Pictish and Scottish Royal Centre

Beschreibung

The royal centre of Forteviot in Strathearn, Perthshire is one of the most famous early medieval sites in Scotland. It has traditionally been regarded as a royal capital, first of the powerful Pictish kingdom of Fortriu and then of the early Scots. This study of this famous site throws light on Pictish kingship and the Church.
