Angus Mackay (historian)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Angus Mackay (1939-2016) [1][2] was a Scottish historian and Hispanist,[3] specialising in Later Medieval Spain.

Having spent four years as a lecturer in history at the University of Reading, most of his career was at the University of Edinburgh, where he was awarded a PhD in 1970 for his thesis, Economy and society in Castile in the Fifteenth Century.[4] He became Professor of Medieval History there in 1986, taking over the chair from his mentor, Denys Hay.[2]

He is considered, together with Raymond Carr and John Elliott, a major figure in developing Spanish historiography.[3]
