| ARTICLES RELATED TO Sophia of Hanover | | | |  Sophia of Hanover: Encyclopedia II - George II of Great Britain - LegacyThe Seven Years' War continued after George II's death. It concluded during the early reign of George III, and led to important territorial gains for the British in North America and Asia. Nevertheless, the expensive conflict crippled the royal finances.

| | | | | Sophia of Hanover: Encyclopedia II - History of Scotland - Anglo-Norman influence Malcolm's victory foreshadowed what became a major thread of Scottish history for the next thousand years. He had relied on Northumbrian assistance to return to the throne, and from then on Scotland at no time remained very far from the thoughts of England's rulers.

| | | | | Sophia of Hanover: Encyclopedia II - History of Scotland - Rise of the Kingdom of Alba The myth of MacAlpin's Treason tells how Alba was born when the Dalriadan Kenneth mac Alpin conquered the Picts. Modern studies are less sure of Kenneth's Dalriadan roots and consider Kenneth and his successors to be Pictish Kings. Kenneth's son Constantine had the Series Longoir written to show his family's claim to the throne of a united Pictland. The triumph of Gaelic over Pictish and the change from Pictland to Alba is placed in the half-century r ...

| | | | | Sophia of Hanover: Encyclopedia II - History of Scotland - Roman invasion The written history of Scotland largely begins with the coming of the Roman empire to Britain. Although the pre-Roman inhabitants occasionally used writing for commemorative purpose, these societies favoured a strong oral history. With the loss of the druidic tradition (due to war, famine, and particularly the proscriptions of later Christian missionaries), the people forgot much of this lore. The only surviving pre-Roman account of Scotland originated with the Greek Pytheas of Massalia who circumnavigated the British islands (which he called Pretaniké) in 325 ...

| | | | | Sophia of Hanover: Encyclopedia II - History of Scotland - Post-Roman Scotland In the wake of the Roman withdrawal Scotland's population comprised two main groups:
