Summary
[edit]DescriptionGeorge Buchanan Memorial, Greyfriars Kirkyard.jpg |
English: Buchanan was a Latin scholar of European renown who taught on the Continent and was at one time imprisoned by the Inquisition. He spent two years of his incarceration translating the Psalms of David into Latin. In 1561, he returned to Scotland, where he embraced the reformed religion. He tutored Mary, Queen of Scots, whom he denounced after the murder of her husband, Darnley. In 1567, he was appointed the first lay Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. In 1570, he became tutor to the four-year-old James VI, entrusted with providing the young king with a protestant education that would turn him against his mother. |
