Imperialism.- The imperialistic Nationalism (II)
EUSKAL HERRIA AND THE KINGDOM OF NABARRE, OR THE BASQUE PEOPLE AND ITS STATE, AGAINST FRENCH-SPANISH IMPERIALISM II – Imperialism.- The imperialistic Nationalism Iñaki Aginaga and Felipe Campo “May it please you [addressed to Pope John XII] to admonish and exhort the King of the English – who ought to be satisfied with what belongs to him, since England used once to be enough for seven kings or more – to leave us Scots in peace, who live in this poor little Scotland beyond which there is no dwelling-place at all, and covet nothing but our own. [...] But if your Holiness puts too much faith in the tales the English tell, and will not give sincere belief to all this nor refrain from favouring them to our prejudice, then the slaughter of bodies, the perdition of souls, and all the other misfortunes that will follow: inflicted by them on us and by us on them, will – we believe so – be surely laid by the Most High to your charge.” (From the Declaration of Arbroath, Abbey of Scotland; 1320.
