The Scottish Regency of the Earl of Arran: A Study in the Failure of Anglo-Scottish Relations: v. 35 (Studies in British History S.) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

Based on manuscripts in the British Library and published documentary collections, this text examines the role played by the Earl of Arran in the collapse of Anglo-Scottish diplomacy during the last years of Henry VIII's reign and the rule of Protector Somerset. In late 1542, Henry pursued a scheme to stop the war and subvert Scottish independence based upon the marriage of his son Edward and the infant Mary Queen of Scots. Despite initially appearing pro-English, Arran frustrated Henry's scheme until the Scots could resist more successfully, through a renewal of the old alliance with France.
