The Northern Earldoms: Orkney and Caithness from AD 870 to 1470

The Northern Earldoms: Orkney and Caithness from AD 870 to 1470 The medieval earldoms of Orkney and Caithness were positioned between two worlds, the Norwegian and the Scottish. They were a maritime lordship divided, or united, by the turbulent waters of the Pentland Firth.
