    Mary Queen of Scots Mary Stuart was born on the 8th December 1542. Mary’s father was King James V of Scotland and her mother was a French Princess called Mary of Guise. Just before Mary was born, her father was injured in battle against the English. He later died of these injuries on the 14th December 1542. This meant Mary became Queen of Scotland when she was only six days old. She was known as Mary Queen of Scots. Mary was only a child when she was crowned Queen which meant that Scotland needed a regent. A regent is someone who looks after the country until a child King or Queen is old enough to rule. Mary of Guise wanted to act as regent for her daughter but the powerful Scottish Lords decided that a distant relative of Mary’s called the Earl of Arran would be regent instead. He was known to have a desire to be King. At this time Scotland was a difficult country to rule. Wars were raging between the Scottish Catholics and Protestants, and King Henry VIII of England wanted to rule in Scotland as well. His soldiers regularly invaded Scottish land. By the time Mary was born, Scotland had already lost many of its best soldiers (including King James V himself) in battles against the English. With no luck invading Scotland, Henry VIII employed a different tactic instead. He decided that his five year old son, Prince Edward, would marry Mary. This would mean both countries would be ruled by him. However, the King of France also wanted Mary to marry his son, Dauphine Francis (Dauphine means heir to the throne in French).

  • Kinross-Shire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Kinross-shire through the Archive Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword I am delighted that the Friends of the Archive are now able to publish the second of their planned area booklets, this time about Kinross-shire. Like the rest of Perth and Kinross the history of Kinross-shire, and the former Burgh of Kinross, is fascinating in many different ways. I hope this new booklet will allow everyone who is interested, be they residents of Kinross-shire or not, to explore that history in meaningful ways. In the booklet you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is ‘official’, like local authority documents, police and justice of the peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their ‘story’ would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. Personally I am much taken by the selection of illustrations of all aspects of life in Kinross-shire. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. On page 6 there is a brief but comprehensive description of the types of records which are available and how they can be used to facilitate information searches of all kinds. If anyone is looking for particular information I would encourage them to read this section first.

  • John Prestall: a Complex Relationship with the Elizabethan Regime
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington John Prestall: A Complex Relationship with the Elizabethan Regime. Michael J. Devine A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at Victoria University of Wellington 2009. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks must first go to my supervisor Glyn Parry for his wisdom and generosity in introducing me to John Prestall. Without Glyn‘s invaluable advice and guidance this thesis would not have been completed. Thanks also to my fellow history postgraduate students James Campbell, Malcolm Craig, Michael Gill, Nick Radburn and Sam Ritchie for providing advice and their invaluable friendship. I am grateful to Victoria University‘s History Department for providing a comfortable and accommodating working environment and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences for awarding me a grant to present a paper at the Seventh Australia New Zealand Association of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (ANZAMEMS) conference in Hobart, Australia. Special thanks must go to my parents Kate and Kieran for reading my work and also too my siblings Hilary, Erica and Peter for their encouragement and support throughout my Masters. ii ABSTRACT This thesis is the biography of John Prestall (c.1527-c.1598) an unsavoury, nefarious, spendthrift, Catholic gentleman from Elizabethan England. A conspirator, opportunist informer, occult conjurer, conman and alchemist, Prestall‘s biography provides an alternative perspective from which to view Elizabethan history, exposing the dark fringe of the Elizabethan Court and the murky political underworld it attracted.

  • English, the Exploits of the Swashbuckling 'Harry Hotspur' and the Guy Fawkes Plot
    Heart of Scotland Tour Highlights Alnwick Castle Alnwick Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in Europe and home to the Dukes of Northumberland for over 700 years. During this time the castle has played a role in many historical events from the Wars of Independence between the Scots and English, the exploits of the swashbuckling 'Harry Hotspur' and the Guy Fawkes plot. The castle is beautifully preserved, one of the reasons why it's such a Hollywood favourite and been used as a location for numerous films including 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' and all seven 'Harry Potter' movies. The adjoining Alnwick Garden is one of the world's most ambitious new gardens. The Duchess of Northumberland's charitable vision focuses around the Grand Cascade and various water sculptures but also includes the Poison Garden and one of the world's largest tree houses. Blair Castle Blair Castle is the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl and holds an important place in Scotland's history. Strategically located in the Strath of Garry, whoever held Blair Castle was gatekeeper to the Grampian Mountains - the most direct route north to Inverness. It was twice besieged, first by Oliver Cromwell's army in 1652 and then by the Jacobites in 1746, just before their final defeat at the battle of Culloden. The grounds and gardens are home to some of Britain's tallest trees, a nine-acre walled garden and St Bride's Kirk, the final resting place of the Jacobite hero 'Bonnie Dundee'. Dating back to 1269, the castle opened its doors to the public in 1936, one of the first great houses in Britain to do so.

The reformers generated a belief in its inevitability and its benefit for Scotland which successive generations of historians have elaborated in the context of subsequent historical periods. Only in the last two decades has historical analysis been refocused on the causes, nature and consequences of the reformation itself. This has taken the form of reinterpretation rather than the introduction of dramatic new information. However the attempts to see the reformation as a political, social and cultural process have raised many interesting questions about its chronological development and its nature as a historical event: • how far had the pre-reformation church attempted to reform itself? • why was the reformation so late in Scotland? • how strong was Protestantism across Scotland in the decades before 1560? how comprehensive was the 'revolution' of 1560? • in what areas of life did the reformation make the greatest initial impact? • why did Mary Queen
