| book description |

The Scottish Reformation is often presumed to have had little economic impact. Traditionally, scholars maintained that Scotlandâ€™s late medieval church gradually secularised its estates, and that the religious changes of 1560 barely disrupted an ongoing trend. In Riches and Reform Bess Rhodes challenges this assumption with a study of church finance in Scotlandâ€™s religious capital of St Andrews, a place once regarded as the â€˜cheif and mother citie of the Realmeâ€™. Drawing on largely unpublished charters, rentals, and account books, Riches and Reform argues that in St Andrews the Reformation triggered a rapid, large-scale, and ultimately ruinous redistribution of ecclesiastical wealth. Communal assets built up over generations were suddenly dispersed through a combination of official policies, individual opportunism, and a crisis in local administration, leading the post-Reformation churches and city of St Andrews into â€˜poverte and decayâ€™.
