Gordon by Lewis Gordon, Gaelic Heritage Collection Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A detailed and authoritative journey through the origins, rise, and global diaspora of the Gordon centuries, the Gordons shaped the history of the north-east of Scotland. Their story begins in the medieval Borders, where the first "de Gordon" landholders appear in surviving charters, and follows their remarkable ascent after the family's relocation to Strathbogie under the early Stewart kings. From these beginnings grew one of Scotland's most influential lineages: a house that commanded major estates, forged powerful alliances, and played a decisive role in the political and military life of the book traces that entire journey with clarity and depth. It examines: the early landholdings in Berwickshirethe move north and the creation of the Gordon heartlandcastles, strongholds, and the development of territorial authorityalliances, marriages, and regional politicsthe emergence of the Earls and Marquesses of Huntlyfeuds, rivalries, and the pressures of national conflictthe transformation of Gordon identity across centuriesthe great migrations that carried the name across the worldAlongside the history of chiefs and noble branches, this volume also considers the wider communities who lived under Gordon influence: the tenants, labourers, soldiers, ministers, emigrants, and settlers whose daily lives formed the broader Gordon world. Their experiences bring depth to the story and show how the surname travelled from rural parishes in the north-east to the farms, towns, and frontiers of Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and for readers who carry the Gordon name or descend from it, this book offers a clear, carefully researched account of how the family rose, adapted, endured, and spread across the globe. It is both a guide to the surname's origins and a companion to the long journey that connects past and present.
