LIVES, CHARACTERS, and MEMORABLE

SCOTS WORTHIES, Noblemen, Gentlemen, Ministers, and others: From Mr. Patrick Hamilton, who was born about the year of our Lord 1503, and suffered martyrdom at St. Andrews, Feb. 1527, to Mr. James Renwick, who was executed in the Grass-market of Edinburgh Feb. 17, 1688. together with a succinct Account of the Lives of other seven eminent Divines, and Sir Robert Hamilton of Preston, who died about, or shortly after the Revolution. as also, An Appendix, containing a short historical Hint of the wicked Lives and miserable Deaths of some of the most remarkable apostates and bluidy persecutors in Scotland from the Reformation to the Revolution.

Anne’s Ladies in waiting included two from the Great house of Ruthven, ancient Sheriffs of Perth, capitol of Scotland, before the Capitol moved to Edinburgh. The Ruthven brothers’ corpses (died August 1, 1600) were being hanged, drawn, and quartered on November 19th 1600. The Gowrie conspiracy of 1600, in which the young Earl of Gowrie, John Ruthven, and his brother Alexander Ruthven were assassinated by James’ attendants. They generated a cover story of a supposed assault on the King. James dismissed Gowrie’s sisters Beatrix and Barbara Ruthven as ladies-in-waiting to Anne, with whom they were “in chiefest credit.” Queen Anne, who was five months pregnant, refused to get out of bed unless [the Ruthven sisters] were reinstated and stayed there for two days, also refusing to eat. When James tried to command [Anne], she warned [James] to take care how he treated her because she was not the Earl of Gowrie. James placated her for the moment by paying a famous acrobat to entertain her, but she never gave up, and her relentless support for the Ruthvens over the next three years was taken seriously enough by the government to be regarded as a security issue. In 1602, after discovering that Anne had smuggled Beatrix Ruthven into Holyrood, James carried out a cross-examination of the entire household; in 1603 [when ascending the English throne], [James] finally caved in to Anne’s campaign and granted Beatrix Ruthven a pension of £200. James had banned the name Ruthven in Scotland, and later in England. James and the hapless Earl of Gowrie were 2nd cousins, both descending from Margaret Tudor, aunt of Queen Elizabeth.’ A century and a half later, the assassination was proposed to remove a competing claimant to the English throne.

Joseph Smith, Alvan’s younger brother, later wrote ‘  I saw Father Adam and Abraham; and my father and my mother; my brother Alvin, that has long since slept;
6  And marveled how it was that he had obtained an inheritance in that kingdom, seeing that he had departed this life before the Lord had set his hand to gather Israel the second time, and had not been baptized for the remission of sins.’’

1831 On November 19, 1831, Sir Walter Scott is touring off the coast of Tunis.  In his “Tales of a Grandfather; being stories taken from France”, Scott describes the attempt of Louis IX of France to conquer Tunis for Christianity.

‘With all that was so excellent in the character and conduct of Saint Louis, he was subject, *** to a strain of superstition, the great vice of the age, which impelled him into measures that finally brought ruin upon himself, and severe losses upon the state. At the bottom of his thoughts, he still retained the insane hope of being more successful in a new crusade than in that in which he had encountered defeat and captivity ; and after sixteen years had been devoted to the improvement and good government of his own dominions, he again prepared a fleet and an army to invade the territories of a Mahometan prince. Neither Palestine nor Egypt was the object of this new attack. The city of Tunis, upon the coast of Africa, was the destined object of the expedition. Credulous in all concerning the holy war, Louis conceived that the Mahometan king of Tunis was willing to turn Christian, and become his ally, or vassal ; and, by possessing a powerful influence, through the occupation of this fertile country, he hoped he should make the conversion of this prince the means of pushing his conquests, and extending Christianity over Egypt and Palestine also…’

Council members in the Scottish city of Glasgow on Thursday ruled that a sacred Sioux Indian shirt, belonging to a warrior killed more than 100 years ago, should be returned to its original owners.  The “Ghost Dance” shirt, which belonged to a Lakota Sioux killed by the U.S. Cavalry in the massacre of Wounded Knee, has been on display in a Glasgow museum since it was bought from a member of Buffalo Bill Cody’s traveling Wild West Show in 1892.

More than 150 Indians were killed by the Seventh Cavalry at Wounded Knee in the South Dakota hills in December 1890. The shirt bears symbols intended to protect the wearer from the bullets of the U.S. Army.

It will be taken back to South Dakota to the Lakota Sioux Indians’ ancestral lands. The Lakota learned of the existence of the tasseled and feathered shirt four years ago when American Indian lawyer John Earl saw it at the museum while he was vacationing in Scotland.
