The Scottish Reformation of 1560 is one of the most controversial
events in Scottish history, and a turning point in the history of
Britain and Europe. Yet its origins remain mysterious, buried under
competing Catholic and Protestant versions of the story. Drawing on
fresh research and recent scholarship, this book provides the first
full narrative of the question. Focusing on the period 1525-60, in
particular the childhood of Mary, Queen of Scots, it argues that
the Scottish Reformation was neither inevitable nor predictable. A
range of different 'Reformations' were on offer in the sixteenth
century, which could have taken Scotland and Britain in
dramatically different directions. This is not a 'religious' or a
'political' narrative, but a synthesis of the two, paying
particular attention to the international context of the
Reformation, and focusing on the impact of violence - from state
persecution, through terrorist activism, to open warfare. Going
beyond the heroic certainties of John Knox, this book recaptures
the lived experience of the early Reformation: a bewildering,
dangerous and exhilarating period in which Scottish (and British)
identity was remade. -- .
