The ‘’’Marquis of Lothian’s Historical Prize Essay’’’ was a prize for historical studies at the [[University of Oxford]]. The prize was established in 1870, when [[William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th Marquis of Lothian]] bequeathed a fund to encourage the study of Modern History at Oxford.
In 1939, the Prize was £40 or books of the same value. It was defined as “an essay on some aspect of foreign history, secular or ecclesiastical, in the period between the dethronement of [[Romulus Augustulus]] and the death of [[Frederick the Great]].” The prize was open to members of the University who had not exceeded twenty-one terms from Matriculation.<ref>‘’Handbook to the University of Oxford’’ (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1938), p.344.</ref>
The Prize was eventually replaced by the Marquis of Lothian’s Studentship in Modern History. <ref>[https://governance.admin.ox.ac.uk/legislation/part-32-marquis-of-lothians-studentship-in-modern-history| Statutes of the University of Oxford, article 32]</ref>
