1466 death of Archbishop James Kennedy, calls for Sir Alexander Boyd, the (22-308) brother of Lord Boyd, as tutor to James III. (10 May 1466).

James Kennedy Bishop of St Andrews. Seal. Wikipedia

The tutor of James III was Gilbert Kennedy, a wise and grave man, who continued to regulate the studies of the King (James 3^rd) after the death of his brother the prelate, but unadvisedly called in to his assistance Sir Alexander, the brother of Lord Boyd, as one who was younger and fitter than himself to teach James military exercises. By means of this appointment, Sir [TG22-309, TG, chap. 22, p. 309] Alexander, his brother Lord Boyd, and two of his sons, became so intimate with the King, that they resolved to take him from under the management of Kennedy entirely. The court was then residing at Linlithgow, and the King, while abroad on a hunting party, was persuaded to direct his horse’s head to Edinburgh, instead of returning. Kennedy, the tutor, hastened to oppose the King’s desire, and seizing his horse by the bridle, wished to lead him back to Linlithgow. Alexander Boyd rushed forward, and striking with a hunting-staff the auld man, who had deserved better usage at his hand, forced him to quit the King’s rein, and accomplished his purpose of carrying James 3^rd (Stewart) to Edinburgh, where he entered upon the administration of affairs, and having granted a solemn pardon to the Boyds for whatever violence had occurred in their proceedings, he employed them for a time, as his chief ministers and favorites. Sir Thomas, one of Lord Boyd’s sons, was honored with the hand of the Princess Margaret, the King’s eldest sister, and was created Earl of Arran. Notwithstanding the new Earl of Arran’s accomplishments, the sudden rise of his family was [TG22-310, TG, ch. 22, p. 310] followed by as sudden a fall. The King, [James 3^rd] either resenting the use which the Boyds had made of his favor, or changing his opinion of them from other causes, suddenly deprived the whole family of their offices, and caused them to be tried for the violence committed at Linlithgow, notwithstanding the pardon which he himself had granted. Sir Alexander Boyd was condemned and executed. Lord Boyd and his sons escaped, and died in exile. After the death of Sir Thomas (the Earl of Arran,” the Princess Margaret was married to the Lord Hamilton, to whom she carried the estate and title of Arran.

1559 Queen Regent (Mary of Guise, French born widow of James 5^th and mother of Mary Queen of Scots) began the quarrel by commanding the Protestant preachers to be summoned to a court of justice at Stirling, (TG29-77) for trial, then declares them outlaws. YYMA 8 The Regent ordered the preachers she held responsible for these upheavals to meet her at Stirling. Various gentlemen of Angus, in arms, met at Dundee and decided to accompany the preachers. Joined by John Knox, they moved to Perth where Knox preached. When he concluded, crowds broke loose, pillaged Dominican and Franciscan establishments, sacked the Charterhouse. The associates of the Congregation then YYMA 9 moved on to St. Andrews ‘for reformation to be made there.’ Without an actual riot, sympathizers collected all ‘evidences of idolatry’ in the churches and burned them where the Reformation martyrs [Patrick Hamilton] had died at the stake.  Portrait of Mary of Guise, by Corneille de Lyon, Wikipedia.

1719 War of the Quadruple Alliance At the beginning of May, the Royal Navy sent five ships to the area for reconnaissance: two patrolling off Skye and three around Lochalsh, adjacent to Loch Duich. Early on Sunday 10 May, these latter three, HMS Worcester, HMS Flamborough, and HMS Enterprise, anchored off Eilean Donan, where the Spanish forces had established a base. Their first move was to send a boat ashore under a flag of truce to negotiate, but when the Spanish soldiers in the castle fired at the boat, it was recalled and all three ships opened fire on the castle for an hour or more. In the evening, under the cover of an intense cannonade, the ships’ boats went ashore and captured the castle against little resistance. According to HMS Worcester’s log, in the castle they found “an Irishman, a captain, a Spanish lieutenant, a sergeant, one Scots rebel and 39 Spanish soldiers, 343 barrels of powder and 52 barrels of musquet shot”. The Government troops then “burnt several barns etc where they had a quantity of corn for the use of their camp”.

The naval force spent the next two days demolishing the castle (it took 27 barrels of gunpowder). The Spanish prisoners were put on board HMS Flamborough and taken away to Edinburgh.

1863 Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson (January 21, 1824[2] – May 10, 1863) died. Jackson was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee. [the great-grandson of John Jackson (1715 or 1719 – 1801) and Elizabeth Cummins (also known as Elizabeth Comings (clan Comyn) and Elizabeth Needles) (1723 – 1828). John Jackson was a Protestant from Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. While living in London, England, he was convicted of the capital crime of larceny for stealing £170; the judge at the auld Bailey sentenced him to a seven-year indenture in America. Elizabeth, a strong, blonde woman over 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, born in London, England was also convicted of larceny in an unrelated case for stealing 19 pieces of silver, jewelry, and fine lace, and received a similar sentence. They both were transported on the prison ship Litchfield, which departed London in May 1749 with 150 convicts. John and Elizabeth met on board and were in love by the time the ship arrived at Annapolis, Maryland. Although they were sent to different locations in Maryland for their indentures, the couple married in July 1755.

Stonewall Jackson Historical marker marking the end of Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s pursuit of the Federals after the Battle of McDowell, May 12, 1862. Jackson’s religion has often been discussed. His biographer, Robert Lewis Dabney, suggested that “It was the fear of God which made him so fearless of all else.”[50] Jackson himself had said, “My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed.”[51]

Stephen W. Sears suggests that “Jackson was fanatical in his Presbyterian faith, and it energized his military thought and character. Theology was the only subject he genuinely enjoyed discussing. His dispatches invariably credited an ever-kind Providence.” However, according to Sears, “this fanatical religiosity had drawbacks. It warped Jackson’s judgment of men, leading to poor appointments; it was said he preferred good Presbyterians to good soldiers.” Wikipedia.

M2 Machine Gun, Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun, is a heavy machine gun designed towards the end of World War I by John Browning. The M2, perfected in the 1920s, became the primary weapon of the English and American forces in World War Two. The English used 8 of them on the Hurricanes and Spitfires and credited over 400 Nazi planes shot down during and after the Battle of Britain. About two million Browning guns were made for WW2, and they were used on the B-25 and B-29 aircraft and recorded an astonishing number of Enemy kills, over 25,000. Near the end, the B-25 bomber was fitted for M2s and not bombs, and used as gun ships, credited with sinking over 600 Japanese ships, raining machine gun fire from above.

1940 House of Commons debate on the Norwegian campaign, when Norway was lost April 9^th 1940. Prime Minister Arthur Neville Chamberlain, previously diagnosed with terminal cancer (died 9 November seven months later), resigned and Winston Churchill (clan Montgomery) assumed Prime Minister. Albert V. Alexander succeeded Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty. The planned attack on Narvik would still go ahead, Not. The German Blitzkrieg invaded neutrals Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg, to outflank the Maginot Line of France. Chamberlain’s appeasement and conciliation legacy from 1937 to 1940, resulted in war, disaster, failure. Chamberlain was repeatedly baffled and taken in by Hitler’s charm, threats, diplomacy, and guile resulting in the Munich Agreement of 1938 throwing away 60 trained allied divisions of Czechoslovakia, and transferring them into the control of the Nazis. With no military heritage or training, Chamberlain was ignorant of military leadership, even while watching Germany’s six year round the clock war preparation.   Chamberlain’s political ties, as Lord Mayor of Birmingham, kept him out of the Great War. True, Chamberlain had the support of the British people, who were likewise baffled and taken in.
