Rachel Robertson Reid (1876 – 1952) was an English historian.[1] Her work chiefly focused on Tudor history.
She published The Rebellion of the Northern Earls, 1569 in 1906, which was awarded The Alexander Prize. The essay remains a key authority in the history of the Rising of the North.
Biography

Works
[edit]The Rebellion of the Earls, 1569
[edit]Reid's essay The Rebellion of the Earls, 1569[4] received The Alexander Prize from the Royal Historical Society in 1906.[5][6]
The Kings Council in the North
[edit]Based on her University of London D.Litt thesis, The Kings Council in the North[7] is a 554-page book that examines the Tudor-era Council of the North. Originally completed in May 1914, the publication of the book was postponed until 1921, due to the First World War.[3]
Contributions to the Historical Association
[edit]Reid was a key influence in the creation of the Historical Association. Through teaching history at secondary schools, she realised the need for such an association; stating "I had literally no one to consult about syllabus, choice of text-books, methods, etc". She discussed this need with Miss M.A Howard, whose later proposal to history teachers and academics for such an association on 5 January 1906 led to it's creation. Miss Reid was appointed an honourary secretary of the association for her role in its formation.
In 1917, she became the general editor for George Philips' elementary school oriented Junior Historical Atlas,[8] released in 1921.[9]
