1872 1^ed Complaynt of SCOTLAND 1549 Three Estates Henry VIII Harrysone Bodrugan

“The Complaynt of Scotlande with Ane Exortatione to the Thre Estaits to be Vigilante in the Deffens of Their Public Veil. 1549.” is an anthology compiled and edited by James Augustus Henry Murray, published in 1872. The book is a compelling collection of historical documents and tracts from the mid-16th century, focusing on the political and societal dynamics of Scotland. The primary text, “The Complaynt of Scotlande,” is an impassioned plea for the three estates of Scotland – the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners – to protect their public welfare amid the political turmoil of the time. Supplementing this main piece are additional contemporary English tracts, including the justifications of King Henry VIII from 1542, an exhortation by James Harrysone in 1547, a letter from the Lord Protector Somerset in 1548, and a summary by Nicholas Bodrugan (also known as Adams), from 1548. The book serves as a rich source of historical insights, replete with an introduction and glossary by Murray to assist readers in understanding the context and language of these important historical documents.
