Produced by National Library of Iceland and Cornell University Library via www.sagnanet.is, Jóhannes Birgir Jensson, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team of Distributed Proofreaders Europe at http://dp.rastko.net "The Norwegian Account of Haco's Expedition Against Scotland, A.D. MCCLXIII." by Rev. James Johnstone is a historical account translated from Old Icelandic texts, specifically the Flateyan and Frisian manuscripts. Originally printed in the late 18th century and reissued in the late 19th century, this book offers an in-depth look at King Haco's military campaign to Scotland during the 13th century, a time characterized by the fervent struggles for power in the British Isles. The narrative captures the events leading up to and during King Haco's expedition, detailing his attempts to reclaim the Hebrides, which were contested between Norway and Scotland. The account provides insight into the political dynamics of the time, including King Alexander of Scotland's ambitions and the alliances and negotiations that were attempted but ultimately failed. Describing the fierce battles and challenges faced by the Norwegian forces, the text reflects on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the harsh realities of medieval warfare, culminating in Haco's tragic death and the subsequent implications for both Norway and Scotland.
