Example text

Oram, Viking Empires (forthcoming Cambridge, 2004). 154 Pedersen, Forte and Oram, Viking Empires (forthcoming). 155 After Harald’s death in 1206, the kings of Norway demanded regular and public demonstrations of John’s subservience to the Norwegian crown, especially after the death of his brother and co-earl, David, in 1214. It was this resurgence of Norwegian power in Orkney that had given William the Lion so much cause for concern in the last years of his life and, although William had forced John’s recognition of his overlordship of Caithness in 1214, Orkney was beyond his reach.

Once those challenges had been overcome, the king was free to impose a lasting settlement on Caithness.

For example, long-running succession disputes to key earldoms and lordships, such as the rival claims to the earldoms of Atholl and Mar, were settled with firmness and justice,140 but it was management of the volatile politics of the west Highlands and Hebrides that revealed his mature diplomatic skills and the singleminded ruthlessness with which he would carry forward his determination to be the sole royal power within the geographical confines of Scotland. 139 140 Young, Comyns, 48. See, for example, Oram, ‘Mar’, 46–66.
