’28th June 1491 was a momentous day for England. Sadly England did not realise it at the time. I came kicking and squalling into this world, full of vigour, full of strength and hearty of lungs.

Now I ask you … what chance did a man have of growing up to be indifferent to women when they did that!’ Thus does His Majesty come bounding onto stage and begin to take the reader on an extra… More >>

Rob Roy Macgregor, Scotland’s most romantic, elusive hero, was an outlaw and a life-long enemy of Montrose. So well-known was he that no one thought to write down a physical description of him, or any direct record of his childhood and youth. Thus tracking down Rob Roy today is to embark upon a search through archives, estate records and folk myths, enriched and confused by the romantic yarns that have grown up around him. This book brings together new interpretatio… More >>
I have just watched the film and I did really enjoy it, but is it true that it isn’t really accurate at all? I mean, I am aware that it must have been hollywoodised quite a bit, but is this film moreso than others?

The Tragic Life of Mary Queen of Scots

Princess Mary Stuart was born at Linlithgow Place, Linlithgow, Scotland in December 1542 to King James V of Scotland and his French wife Mary of Guise. The week old Mary became Queen of Scotland when her father died at the age of 30. Things were moving rather swiftly for Mary, when just six months old, the Treaties of Greenwich promised Mary to be married to Edward , son of King Henry VIII in 1552 and for their heirs to inherit the Kingdoms of Scotland and England. However, the Treaties of Greenwich fell apart, the agreement did not sit well with the Scots, Henry embarked on what has become known as the ‘rough wooing’ designed to ensure the agreement was met. He began raiding Scottish territories, in May 1544, English forces arrived in the Firth of Forth intent on capturing Edinburgh and kidnapping Mary, however she was secretly hid at Stirling Castle. The French came to the aid of the Scots, the King of France, Henry II, proposed to unite France and Scotland by marrying Mary to his three year old son, the Dauphin Francis. With her marriage agreement settled, the five year old Mary moved to France in 1548 to the French court. In 1558 she married the Dauphin Francis with him assuming the title King consort of Scots. When Henry II died in 1559, Mary, Queen of Scots, became Queen consort of France, her husband becoming Francis II of France. Mary was next in line to the English throne after her father’s cousin Queen Elizabeth I who was childless.
When Mary’s husband, Francois died in 1560, France decided to withdraw their troops from Scotland and recognise Elizabeth as Queen of England, Mary refused to ratify this agreement. She returned to Scotland in 1561 but she tolerated the Protestant ascendancy. In 1565, Mary married Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley. Elizabeth felt threatened by the match as both were claimants to the English throne, both being direct descendants of Margaret Tudor, the elder sister of Henry VIII. Following the birth of their son James in 1566, a plot was hatched to remove Darnley and he was duly assassinated in February 1567. In April, 1567, Mary was abducted and raped by James Hepburn, Fourth Earl of Bothwell, they were married the following month according to Protestant rites. The Scottish nobility turned against Mary, she was incarcerated and forced to abdicate the Scottish throne in favour of her one year old son James. Mary escaped in 1568 and raised a small army but she was defeated at the Battle of Langside and fled to England, where she was immediately imprisoned and remained so for the ensuing eighteen years. In 1586, Mary was tried for treason over her alleged involvement in the Babington Plot to kill Elizabeth. She was found guilty and beheaded . She is interred along with Elizabeth in Westminster Abbey. Mary’s son James married Anne of Denmark in 1589, they had many children but only three survived – Charles I of England; Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia and Frederick, Prince of Wales. Her grand-children included Charles II of England and James II of England.

Marriage shall not be complete and binding on the parties, unless each party says to the other in the presence of the Marriage Officer and three witnesses and in any language understood by the parties, — “I, (A), take thee (B), to be my lawful wife (or husband). It is a marriage done at a court house or in chambers. There may be one or two witness and a few family members / friends as guests. It is not a religious ceremony.

The Falsehoods of Dylan Thomas
Dylan Thomas has always being a man trapped between eras, very difficult to pin-down, far from easily definable, charmingly elusive. His origins are murky, perhaps not murky in fact but murky in attempting to ascertain his influences, in attempting to pinpoint where his Muses flock. By the age of four the young Dylan was supposed to be able to recite some Shakespeare that his father force fed him, this smacks of a fatherly blindness, perhaps bestowing the lofty ideals that had eluded him on his

Seven of the Best Irish Dishes
7. Irish Stew
Recipes for Irish stew run the length of your arm, there are thousands upon thousands of variations. Each household has a specific way of making this fine dish and each counters that their mother’s is the best. A simple rule of thumb is hock in what vegetables are lying around, just ensure you have lamb as your meat, none of this fancy beef business that some hostelries are offering up these days. A great filler on a chilly winter’s day.

John Keats – The Greatest Romantic of All Time?
John Keats, I am not sure why but he has always struck me as being somewhat old, but of course he was never old, he died at the tender age of twenty-five. I don’t know why I think that way, whether it be his worldly views or his whole of the moon visions or perhaps the way the legion of Romantics exalt him so.

Lord Byron – The Greatest Romantic of All Time?
Lord Bryon, at this stage of the game, more myth than man, was the first of the rock and roll stars, a maverick and an original. His life is like a cartoon, everything appears larger than life, he lived it by his own set of rules, no matter to the consequences. He was born in 1788 into the ying-yang relationship of Captain Mad Jack Byron and Catherine Gordon, heiress of Gight in Aberdeenshire and descendant of King James I.
