BARCLAY, William Secretary to Mary Queen of Scots
(About 1540-1608) |
BARCLAY, William Secretary to Mary Queen of Scots 1
User ID: W376. General Notes: "William Barclay was the author of some controversial works, written in Latin, one being a treatise on regal power, in which he upholds the divine right of kings. The earliest edition of this book, published in 1599, which is seldom found complete, contains his portrait, surrounded by eight coats of arms of the families from which he claimed his descent. These coats of arms are of great genealogical value, and were without doubt appended to the birth-brief sent to the Duke of Lorraine by King James VI in 1582. |
