Drawing upon a rich and varied body of evidence located in both the English and Scottish archives of state papers, together with contemporary propaganda, memoirs and histories, this work constructs a much needed political narrative of the period, investigating the often highly complex politics which lay behind the outbreak and the initial stages of the Marian Civil War. It questions Maurice Lee’s image of Moray as the ‘gude regent’, an image which was first present in Buchanan’s History, and which depicts Moray as a highly successful regent, and an altruistic Protestant reformer. Dispelling Lee’s view of Moray as a ‘reluctant regent’, it shows instead that the Earl was determined to gain, and then maintain, his position of power. It incorporates a discussion of the constitutionality of the actual regency itself, together with the theories of election which were drawn up to justify both it and the deposition of a monarch. In addition, the thesis sheds light upon the dynamics of Scottish political alignment during the period, emphasising the great fluidity which was to be found, and showing how issues of internal government, and attitudes towards England, affected men’s allegiances as much as, if not more than, the ostensible issue of monarchy itself. This study also builds upon recent work by Tudor historians such as John Guy and Stephen Alford, and sets Moray’s regency within an Anglo-Scottish context, demonstrating the importance of the interconnections between events in England, such as the Norfolk plot, and Scottish politics. It investigates the English attitudes towards Mary, and towards the two rival parties within Scotland, taking into account the sometimes conflicting objectives of Elizabeth I and her leading ministers, such as William Cecil, yet showing how they consistently sought to gain dominance over Scotland. Moray’s regency was cut short by his assassination, and this thesis concludes by considering both his murder and its aftermath. It explores how his death impacted upon the political situation, together with the way in which his reputation was shaped in the immediate period after his death. Finally, it investigates the opportunity that both Moray’s assassination and the Northern Rising of late 1569 had given England to intervene in Scottish affairs, and further pursue policies to that country’s own advantage. -iii- Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my supervisor, Professor Roger Mason, for first suggesting the topic of the Marian Civil Wars to me, and for providing help and guidance both during my undergraduate career and during the period of my postgraduate research. I am also grateful to the School of History at the University of St Andrews for purchasing microfilm copies of the State Papers for Scotland, and the Border papers. This has greatly helped with my research. In addition, I would like to thank Lord Stewart of Doune for granting me access to the Moray Muniments (NRAS 217) and for depositing them with the National Archives of Scotland so swiftly. My greatest debts are to those who have supported me on a personal level. I want to thank my fiancé, Scott, for his constant love and support, and also for taking care of the day to day things over the past few weeks – cooking, shopping, fixing the car and much more. I also want to thank my little sister, Liz, for refusing to show any interest in history whatsoever, for forcing me to think about other things, and for always being able to make me laugh. Finally, I am incredibly grateful to my parents, who have always been there for me, and who have been a constant source of financial and emotional support.

  • Neville's Cross 1346
    English Heritage Battlefield Report: Neville's Cross 1346 Neville's Cross (17 October 1346) Parish: Durham, Bearpark District: Durham County: Durham Grid Ref: NZ 263421 (centred on Neville's Cross) Historical Context In 1346 King Edward III invaded France, won a resounding victory at Crécy on 26 August and then set about besieging Calais. To provide a diversion, King Philip of France asked his ally, David II of Scotland, to attack England. Since David was convinced that the bulk of England's fighting men were in France he was ready to accede to the request. Gathering together an army at Perth, David entered England early in October, destroying the pele tower at Liddel and oppressively occupying the priory at Lanercost. The priory at Hexham was sacked next, whereupon the Scots crossed the River Tyne at Ryton and advanced into the Bishopric of Durham. On 16 October they set up camp in the Prince Bishop's manor park of Beaurepaire, or Bearpark, a short distance to the west of Durham city. The possibility that the Scots might intervene in the war between England and France had been anticipated and on 20 August the English Regency issued a proclamation of array, appointing the Archbishop of York, Henry de Percy and Ralph de Neville to command the forces in the north. By 16 October the three leaders had assembled an army at Auckland Park, eight miles south of Durham. When, early next morning, the English advanced, a 500 strong Scottish raiding party commanded by Sir William Douglas received a rude surprise, as the Lanercost Chronicle recounts: While the Scots were plundering the town of Merrington, suddenly the weather became inclement, with thick fog.

ISSN 1364-9809 http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/37849/ Deposited on: 02 April 2012 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk EdinLR Vol 8 pp 298-328 The Early Career of Thomas Craig, Advocate John Finlay* Analysis of the clients of the advocate and jurist Thomas Craig of Riccarton in a formative period of his practice as an advocate can be valuable in demonstrating the dynamics of a career that was to be noteworthy not only in Scottish but in international terms. However, it raises the question of whether Craig’s undoubted reputation as a writer has led to a misleading assessment of his prominence as an advocate in the legal profession of his day. A. INTRODUCTION Thomas Craig (c 1538–1608) is best known to posterity as the author of Jus Feudale and as a commissioner appointed by James VI in 1604 to discuss the possi- bility of a union of laws between England and Scotland.1 Following from the latter enterprise, he was the author of De Hominio (published in 1695 as Scotland”s * Lecturer in Law, University of Glasgow. The research required to complete this article was made possible by an award under the research leave scheme of the Arts and Humanities Research Board and the author is very grateful for this support. He also wishes to thank Dr Sharon Adams, Mr John H Ballantyne, Dr Julian Goodare and Mr W D H Sellar for comments on drafts of this article, the anonymous reviewer for the Edinburgh Law Review, and also the members of the Scottish Legal History Group to whom an early version of this paper was presented in October 2003.

Long ago the world was at one as to the character of the Casket Letters. To these forgeries the writer thinks there must now be added that document discovered in the Charter Room of Dunrobin Castle by Dr. John Stuart. In that most important and deeply interesting find, recently made in a loft above the princely stables of Belvoir Castle, in a letter from Randolph to Rutland, of loth June, 1563, these words occur in writing about our Queen : "She is the fynneste she that ever was ". This deliberately expressed opinion of Thomas Randolph will, I hope, be the opinion of my readers. viii Foreword. The Author has neither loaded his page with long footnote extracts, nor enlarged his volume with ponderous glossarial or other appendices. To the pencil of Mr. J. G. Murray of Aber- deen, and the etching needle of M. Vaucanu of Paris, the little book is much beholden.

  • The 5Th Earl of Argyll and Mary, Queen of Scots
    THE FIFTH EARL OF ARGYLL AND MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS When Mary, Queen of Scots' name is linked to that of a man most people think immediately of high romance and passion, or even murder and rape, with a large dollop of tragedy thrown in. Three husbands had come and gone by the time Mary was twenty-five and during her long dreary single years in an English prison there was still continuous intrigue and speculation about a fourth. But the tragedy and Victorian-style melodrama of her marriages to Francis II, who died as a teenager in 1560, Darnley, who was murdered in 1567, and Bothwell, who fled Scotland in 1568, went mad in a Danish prison and died in 1578, have overshadowed the less-highly charged relationships she had with the Scottish nobles of her court. One of the most important of these was the affectionate friendship with her brother- in-law, the fifth earl of Argyll. Archibald Campbell, the 5th earl was not much older than Mary herself. He was probably born in 1538 so would have been only four years old in the dramatic year of 1542.
