Douglas – Clyde – Arthur Research Series
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This eight-paper series reconstructs the historical continuum linking the Clyde valley, the Damnonii and Dubh kings of Strathclyde, and the later House of Douglas.It uses verified charters from Kelso, Glasgow, Paisley, and Moray to chart how native Gaelic-Cumbric governance evolved through Roman influence, monastic learning, and feudal reform under Malcolm III and David I.Key figures—Theobald the Fleming, Freskin de Moravia, Bricius of Moray, and James the Good Douglas—illustrate the transformation of oral kingship into written statecraft.The series concludes with the Douglas diaspora and the lineage’s enduring symbol of resilience, the salamander in flames.
