Book Overview

Memorials of Transactions in Scotland, 1569-1573 is a historical book written by Richard Bannatyne and first published in 1836. The book is a collection of documents and letters that provide insight into the political and religious turmoil that Scotland experienced during the late 16th century. The documents included in the book cover a range of topics, including the imprisonment and execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, the rise of the Protestant Reformation, and the conflict between the Scottish nobility and the monarchy. Bannatyne, a Scottish merchant and notary, was a witness to many of the events he describes in the book. He was also a close associate of John Knox, the leader of the Scottish Reformation, and many of the documents in the book were written by Knox and his supporters. The book is considered an important source for understanding the history of Scotland during this period, and it has been used extensively by historians and scholars.
