01.07 - Personal Unions with Sir John Elliott

Sir John Elliott, Regius Professor Emeritus of Modern History at
Oxford University, speaks with me in Edinburgh about composite
monarchies and personal unions, the similarities between Scotland
and Catalonia, the challenges that James will face as he travels
south to take up his new crown, and how his and his son’s actions
will echo throughout the century and beyond. The recommended books,
available from all good retailers, are: - Scots and Catalans: Union
and Disunion (2018) - Empires of the Atlantic World: Britain and
Spain in America 1492-1830 (2006) Learn more about your ad choices.
