February 27th 1560 saw the Second Treaty of Berwick between England and Scotland.

This Treaty of Berwick was a 'league of amity' or peace agreement made on 6th July but the negotiations were held in February, and the date popped up today, so here it is......

Queen Elizabeth was keen on the Berwick treaty was because she feared that France intended to rule Scotland, which would have threatened her realm. The two had signed an accord that stipulated that the crowns of Scotland and France would be unified if there were children of the marriage,of Mary Stuart and François, then the King to be, and the crown of Scotland would be given to France if there were not. , Elizabeth feared such greater unity between Scotland and France, and in particular, Mary Stuart’s claim to her throne.

Another factor concerning Elizabeth was the desire to further hasten the Reformation in Scotland, which is why the Protestant Scottish Lords of the Congregation (sounds like a great name for a rock group) were trying to get the Catholic French expelled. For Elizabeth, if Scotland were Protestant, that would make it an ally and help protect England.

The result of the discussions was that an English fleet and an army came to Scotland to help expel the ten thousand French troops that were defending the Regency of the Catholic Marie of Guise. Armed conflict ensued and the French troops retreated. They fortified the port and town of Leith against the combined force of English and rebel Scots and so began the Siege of Leith, on the 17th of March, 1560.

The English Lieutenant General Norfolk was the man sent north by Elizabeth Ito support the Lords, whilst his compatriot, Admiral Winter, was in charge of the blockade and besieging of the Forth at Leith, occupied by the allies – the Scottish and French naval forces. For safety then, Marie of Guise had flitted to Edinburgh Castle, which event took place on the 1st of April.

Interestingly, an old Scottish prophecy had foretold great changes “when two winters were to be seen in Scotland in the same year.” And so it happened that whilst Admiral Winter was told to pick any quarrel he could with the French and prevent reinforcements or the Scots, eponymous winter storms coincidentally wrecked a second French convoy on its way to Leith. Thus two winters did indeed prove to have been a decisive factor in the expulsion of the French from Scotland. Spooky, or what?

Eventually, the Gordon Earl of Huntly, a Catholic, came to terms with the Congregation and by then, hardly a Scot of note remained on the French side, except Bothwell and the Bishops. Following this shift, on 27thFebruary, 1560, the Treaty was concluded between Norfolk and the Scottish Lords – both Protestant and Catholic.

The Treaty was “for the defence of the ancient rights and liberty of their country”, as the original words “for the maintenance of Christian religion” were left out of the final version. The Lords bound themselves to resist any closer of a union between Scotland and France than existed through Mary’s marriage and to assist England against France with all their forces if France invaded England north of York. In addition, they were to assist with 2000 foot and 1000 horse if France invaded elsewhere.

On the 11th of June, 1560, Mary of Guise died of dropsy and figurehead of the Scottish Catholic resistance was removed. Later in the year, Mary, Queen of Scots, was widowed and returned to Scotland – but that’s another story. Another treaty, Treaty of Edinburgh, was signed in July 1560, agreeing that French and English troops would withdraw from Scotland. Also included in that treaty was the agreement for Mary, Queen of Scots, and François, to give up Mary’s claim to the English crown and recognize Elizabeth I as rightful Queen of England. Mary though, never signed this.

Oil & Gas: 500 students to participate in NCDMB career show

Yenagoa

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) is set to expose about 500 students from the nine states of the Niger Delta region to participate in the inaugural career talk show on Oil and Gas development in the country. The show, opened to secondary schools in the Niger Delta region and sponsored by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) is a new initiative to fill the skills technical gap in the nation’s oil and gas by sensitizing science students in the secondary schools across the nine Niger Delta states. Mr. Idowu Adejumo, the Chief Operating Officer of Osk leverages and vie logistique,in a statement issued via email, stated that the five hundred students in the Senior Secondary School Two will be drawn from over two hundred schools. According to the statement, the participating students in the maiden edition will engage in career talks with the theme, ‘Bridging the local content gap in Nigeria’s Industrial Sector: Science, technology and engineering to the rescue’. The facilitator of the career talks, osk leverages and vie logistique, is working with respective state ministry of education in Ondo, Edo, Delta, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Imo, Rivers and Bayelsa. The talks anchored by an experienced facilitator, a senior safety engineer with over 15 years’ experience in the oil and gas sector, Victor Ekasa, has been held in six states of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Cross River, Abia and Imo. The grand finale of the science career talks sponsored by NCDMB will hold in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital on Tuesday, 27thFebruary, 2018 at Matho Crystal Hotel, Imiringi road by 9am. The students are encouraged to consider careers in sciences, engineering, and technology towards building local capacity and reduce the number of expatriates in the country. The current management of the NCDMB under the Executive Secretary, Engr. Simbi Wabote, is supporting the move to catch the ‘engineers’ young. Two best participating students in each of the state are to go home with a branded mini laptop as a way to encourage them. The industrial growth of any nation is anchored on science, engineering and technology and all efforts must be put in place to encourage the new generation to take up the challenge for national growth. According to the organisers, “We need more Nigerian engineers to man the very technical aspects of oil and gas operations. Nigerians have the capacity to compete favourably and this programme will help us build new set of engineers, scientists and technologists.”
