Description

Seventh son of the penurious Laird of Balfour, the fiercely ambitiousDavid Beaton was determined to rise in the world - by whatever meansavailable. Never one to be burdened by scruples, he cynically used theChurch for his own ends to become one of the most able statesmen of hiscentury and the real ruler of James V's Scotland. An astute, courageous man, an accomplished fighter, fond of women, itwas inevitable that Cardinal David Beaton would make many enemies. Andthat one day one of those embittered men would wreak a terrible revenge. The compelling 16th century story of the rise and fall of David Beaton -the Cardinal who was no saint. Set against the background of war andReformation, this is a thrilling story from Nigel Tranter, master ofScottish History.
