Angus Mackay

Angus Mackay (1939-2016) was a Scottish historian and Hispanist, 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. He became Professor of Medieval History there in 1986, taking over the chair from his mentor, Denys Hay.

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