Summary:

This volume covers the period from 14 March, 1588-9 to 3 January, 1592-3. The 'Affair of the Brig of Dee,' the marriage of King James VI., his plan to secure peace in western Europe, the exploits of the 'Madcap' Earl of Bothwell and the failure of administration at home, the Catholic plottings which culminated in the 'Spanish Blanks' -these are the chief events with which it deals. Their main outline has already been traced, and many of the documents printed herein used, by Tytler and later general historians of the reign of James VI.; but there is now presented to the student a wealth of detail for one of the most complicated periods of Scottish history.
