I have Scottish Presbyterian ancestry. A distant cousin, Rev Geotge Wishart was burned at the stake by Cardinal Beaton at the direction of Mary Queen of Scots. Partly because QE1 liked my cousin, a fellow Protestant reformer
Wow, related to George Wishart, how about that? That’s amazing - probably one of the two most important martyrs of the Scottish Reformation.
Cardinal Beaton indeed had him killed, which led directly to Beaton’s grisly end only a couple of months later. But I don’t think you can blame Mary - she was only 3 at the time.
