Förlagets beskrivning
An expanded and revised edition of the story of the earliest members of the ancient Scottish family of Crawford (from about 1150 to 1400). The traditional family legends don't always stand up well when compared to contemporary historical sources, but the old tales are repeated over and over nonetheless. Did Sir Gregan Crawford really save King David I from a charging stag in an act leading to the foundation of Holyrood Abbey? Were the Crawfords of Loudon the original hereditary sheriffs of Ayr? Was the mother of the hero William Wallace a Crawford? Was the Sir Reginald Crawford, who was brutally executed as a "rebel" by the English in 1307, the same man who joined the English in 1296? Most Crawfords who have already begun to ask such questions might be disappointed by what more reliable sources reveal about such tales. Nevertheless, I invite you to consider what history has to tell us about the earliest members of the Crawford family
