Everything about G W S Barrow totally explained

Geoffrey Wallis Steuart Barrow DLitt FBA FRSE is a British historian and academic, born at Headingley in Leeds. He is Professor Emeritus at the University of Edinburgh, and arguably the most prominent Scottish medievalist of the last century.
Barrow was Professor of Medieval History at the University of Newcastle 1961-1974, and then Professor of Scottish History at the University of St Andrews 1974-1979. He was Sir William Fraser Professor of Scottish History and Palaeography at the University of Edinburgh from 1979 to 1992.
He began his work by studying the nature of feudalism in Anglo-Norman Britain, but moved on to specialize more thoroughly on Scottish feudalism. His work has tended to focus on Normanization in High Medieval Scotland, as well as some aspects of native continuity, especially in reference to governmental institutions. His pioneering historical research continues to be an invaluable legacy to the field.
