History of Scotland, volume 5
History of Scotland, volume 5: 1554-1567
Tytler's multi-volume History of Scotland covers the period 1249-1606.
Different editions were organised in varying numbers of volumes. This Kindle book is
taken from the third edition which was originally published in seven volumes, with an additional volume containing and index for the entire work.
Volume 5 focuses on the event-packed years between 1554 and 1567, beginning with the regency of Mary of Guise and the marriage of Mary Queen of Scots to the Dauphin. The dominant themes throughout this volume are the struggles between the Protestant Reformers and the Catholic Regent and Queen, the amazing unreliability of the Scottish nobility, and the pervasive undercurrent of intrigue and manipulation from the English throne.
