This study examines how British politics operated in practice during the age of Mary, Queen of Scots, and explains how the crises of the mid-sixteenth century moulded the future political shape of the British Isles. A central figure in these struggles was the fifth earl of Argyll, the most powerful magnate not only at the court of Queen Mary, his sister-in-law, but throughout the three kingdoms. His domination of the Western Highlands and Islands drew him into the complex politics of the north of Ireland, while his Protestant commitment involved him in Anglo-Scottish relations. His actions also helped determine the Protestant allegiance of the British mainland and the political and religious complexion of Ireland. Argyll's career therefore demonstrates both the possibilities and the limitations of British history throughout the early modern period. 410 0$aCambridge studies in early modern British history. 606 $aReligion and politics$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aReligion and politics$zIreland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aPoliticians$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aNobility$zScotland$vBiography 607 $aScotland$xHistory$yMary Stuart, 1542-1567$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1558-1603 607 $aIreland$xPolitics and government$y16th century 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aNobility 676 $a941.105/092 700 $aDawson$b Jane E.
