Publisher's Synopsis
""The Complaint of Scotland"" is a historical document written in 1549 by Scottish reformer John Knox, expressing the grievances of the Scottish people against their government and the Catholic Church. In this book, James A. H. Murray provides a detailed analysis and translation of Knox's text, along with an exhortation to the three estates of Scotland (the nobility, clergy, and commoners) to be vigilant in defending their public welfare. Murray's commentary sheds light on the political and religious tensions of 16th century Scotland, making this book a valuable resource for historians and students of Scottish history.
