  • John Ogilvie's Execution and the Community of Glasgow
    journal of jesuit studies 7 (2020) 47-66 brill.com/jjs Exemplary Deterrent or Theatre of Martyrdom?: John Ogilvie’s Execution and the Community of Glasgow Paul Goatman University of Glasgow [email protected] Abstract John Ogilvie’s martyrdom in February 1615 should be seen in the context of a struggle for the hearts and minds of the people of Scotland between the Jesuit mission and James vi and i’s government. Nowhere was this struggle more intense than within the town of Glasgow, where Ogilvie was imprisoned, tried and executed and which a large and influential Catholic community had long called home. Propaganda was dis- seminated by both sides during and after his trial and the archbishop of Glasgow, John Spottiswood, orchestrated its proceedings as a demonstration of royal and archiepis- copal power that involved local elites as well as central government officials. This ar- ticle examines the events that took place in Glasgow during the winter of 1614–15 and provides a prosopographical analysis of the people involved. It makes the argument that, as had been the case during the Protestant Reformation of the 1540s and 1550s, Scotland’s church and state mishandled Ogilvie’s public ritual execution such that the local religious minority (now Catholics) became emboldened and more committed to Counter-Reformation. Keywords John Ogilvie – King James VI and I – Archbishop John Spottiswood – Glasgow – martyrdom – public ritual execution – propaganda – Counter-Reformation – state formation © Paul Goatman, 2020 | doi:10.1163/22141332-00701004 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the prevailing cc-by-nc-nd 4.0 license.

  • The Staggering State of Scottish Statesmen
    427 THE STAGGERING STATE OF SCOTTISH STATESMEN. CHANCELLORS. i. James, Earl of Morton, Chancellor in Queen Mary's time, whose actions are at length set down in the histories of Buchanan and Knox, and Home's history of the family of Douglas, begot divers bastards, one of whom he made Laird of Spot, another Laird of Tofts. The first was purchased from his heirs by Sir Robert Douglas, and the last by one Belsches, an advocate. He was thereafter made regent in King James the VI.'s minority, anno 1572 ; but in that time was taxed with great avarice and extortion of the people, and by heightening the rate of money, and for coining of base coin, for adultery, and for delivering up the Earl of Northumberland to Queen Elizabeth, when he had fled to Scotland for refuge, being allured thereto by a sum of money.* He was overthrown by the means of the Earls of Argyle, Athole, and Montrose; and was accused and condemned for being art and part in the king's father's murder, which was proven by the means of Sir James Balfour, Clerk-Register, who produced his handwriting. He got a response to beware of the Earl of Arran, which he con- ceived to be the Hamiltons, and therefore was their perpetual enemy; but in this he was mistaken, seeing, by the furiosity of the Earl of Arran, Captain James Stewart was made his guardian, and afterwards became Earl of Arran, and by his moyenf Morton was condemned, and his head taken off at the market-cross of Edinburgh.

  • James VI and I and the Fringes of the Enlarged Kingdom
    James VI and I and the Fringes of the Enlarged Kingdom MARTYN BENNETT NOTTINGHAM TRENT UNIVERSITY 1. On 3 February 1593 Robert Stewart, first Earl of Orkney and Lord of Shetland died. His relationship with King James had been at times fractious and embroiled in the rivalry between Francis Stewart Earl of Bothwell and James Maitland of Thirlstane. The Earl's son, Patrick, a childhood friend of the King, succeeded him. Patrick seems initially to have been determined to build new alliances by marrying the widow of his father's enemy Sir Lewis Bellenden. Nevertheless, opposition to his government by landholders marked even the early years of his rule, with Lawrence Bruce of Caltmalinde as a principal opponent in the early part of the 1590s. Early in the next decade Bruce claimed that his tenants had been forced to build a new castle at Scalloway for Patrick. The marriage itself was not a success, although the couple had four children; Patrick's wife did not visit the Orkneys and she lived on Canongate in Edinburgh throughout. Patrick and James had been friends in their youth, but even by the 1590s the friendship had cooled, partly because Patrick sided with Queen Anna when she objected to the fostering of Prince Henry with the Earl and Countess of Mar (Goodare and Lynch 2000, 26). 2. Patrick developed expensive tastes and many of the accusations levelled at his government were related to his personal expenditure. Keith Brown suggests that by the middle of the decade Patrick's expenditure far outweighed his massively increased income of £56,313 per annum (Brown 2001, 80).

  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.

    Episcopacy and Presbytery: Lessons from The Scottish General Assembly of 1610 G. CAMPBELL WADSWORTH I. BISHOPS AND PRESBYTERS FROM 1560 TO 1610 S it possible to combine the episcopal and presbyterial forms of Church I government, so that the resulting merger will contribute measurably to the ultimate reunion of the whole Church of Christ? This is a question whose importance must be clear to everyone. It is a question which is being answered today in the everyday life of the Church of South India. It is one, moreover, to which the Scottish Church of the early Seventeenth Century can give a most interesting and instructive answer. Its answer is a qualified affirmative. Yes, a fact it is that in the history of post-Reformation Scotland there exists a precedent for the union of the main features of the presbyterial and the episcopal systems. We refer to the important if little known agree~ ments drawn up by the General Assembly of 1610, which effected an almost thirty years' close alliance of the Churches of England and Scotland. Here was a semi-union which might have lasted to the present day, had it not not been for the headlong, headstrong intrusions of royal and civil power, whose lamentable result was to involve the whole scheme in disrepute and disaster. What lessons does this Scottish precedent hold for us today? In order to secure an adequate answer to this question, let us look briefly at some of the events which led up to the 1610 Assembly. In the year 1560 the Church of Scotland "was reformed from Papery by presbyters."1 But the style of Church government, which Knox and the other Reforming leaders at once endeavoured to set in motion, was not the full-grown, presbyterial system of a later day.

  • The Golfer's Year Book for 1866
    SMITH & GL\ANT No. G-4-33. GOLFER'S YEAH BOOK FOTl 1S66: COMPILED AND EDITED 11V ROB, WOWIE SMITH. AYR: SMITH & G RANT. 1807. 141) COLONEL J. 0. FAIELIE OF COODIIAM, DESERVEDLY DESIGNATED THE EARL OF DALHOUSIE amateur of Scotland," PRESTWICK, ST. ANDREWS, AND NORTH BERWICK MIDALS DURING THE SAKE SEASON, THE unexpectedly lengthened interval which elapsed between the issue of the preliminary circulars and tho recoipt of tho various official and non-ollicial roturns, tho apology offered for the delay that haa occurred in tho publication of "The Golfer's Year-Book." At first it was dosigned to embrace only a list of all the Clubs, their rolls of members, modal-holdors, and prize-takers, with the principal professional matches during 1800; but it WM aftorwards doeinod advisablo to extend tho plan, so as to include tho Tournamonts, the competitions for tho Challenge Bolt, and othor items of interest, of which nothing could bo gleaned oxoept from old newspapers which wore inaccessible to tlio vast majority of golfers. In tho ondoavour to attain this object every availablo souroo of information has been exhausted, both by correspondence and personal onquiry; yet tho Editor cannot vonture to congratulate himself upon having made that soction of tho book so complete as could have been desired. Painfully conscious of omissions and defects in other parts of tho work—porhaps incidental to all first attempts in producing an Annual of this character—he sends it forth in the hope that, notwithstanding its im- perfections, it may not prove uuwolcoino. To thoso gentlemen who ao kindly lent their codporation by fur- nishing the neoossary dotails in different departments, th» Editor bogs to tonder his warmest acknowledgments.
