"There are those who, having sold their souls to Satan, must dwell forevermore in the grim housing of the dead - accursed beings only half alive, who must ravish beneath the moon for living, human prey"

Amos Sewell (1901-1983) - Illustration from John Knox' 'Those Who Dwell In Coffin'

(Dime Mystery Magazine, August, 1934)

My sister was telling me about her reformation history class, and via game of telephone, I have put my impression of several plot beats together in meme format. The idea of theology interacting with historical political drama cracks me up. And so does the idea of Calvin gentle parenting Knox.

Fun fact! I named my first car J. Cal, and then it got totaled. My car now is J. Knox because someone decided to build a parking garage over his grave. Such is the common dilemma of dying in Europe pre-industrial revolution, I suppose.

And finally, shout out to our boi P. Hammy, one of the coolest martyrs to ever go out...in a blaze...of glory... He also had an epic beard.

Study to practice in life that which the Lord commands, and then be you assured that you shall never hear nor read the same without fruit.

John Knox

"As previously discussed by Mary Villeponteaux, Protestant efforts to equate female rulers with Old Testament tyrants such as Jezebel were motivated primarily by fear of their gender. The implication was that papist queens were neither compassionate nor rational, but impulsive, excessively cruel, sexually incontinent, and either stubborn or indecisive due to the unnaturalness of occupying a traditionally male position of power. During his own exile, Scotsman John Knox actively equated both Mary I of England and Mary Stuart with Jezebel, and argued that 'nature doth paint them to be weak, frail, indirect, feeble and foolish, while experience hath declared them to be unconstant, variable, cruel, and lacking the spirit of counsel.”

St AndrewsCastle Exhibition.

This exhibition features some of the events and the people involved during the castle's long history.

St Andrews Castle was the home of the bishops of St Andrews. The site has been fortified since at least the 1190s. However, most of what we see today was built between 1380 and 1560.

The Castle was the scene of major events in Scottish history. In 1452 the future King James III was born here. Nearly a century later, in 1546, one of the most powerful men in Scotland,

George Wishart was burnt at the stake for his protestant views, outside the castle, then Cardinal David Beaton, was murdered in in retaliation by a group of Protestant noblemen.

The Cardinal's assassins then occupied St Andrews Castle for over a year. They eventually surrendered when bombarded by ships sent from France. During the 1546-47 siege, attacking forces tried to capture the Castle by mining under the walls. The resulting mine still survives, and is the best preserved sixteenth-century siege mine in Europe. Unfortunately they are currently closed after a part of thetunnels collapsed a few weeks ago.

Just as the use of food and drink is necessary for the preservation of physical life, and just as the heat and brightness of the sun are essential for the growth of plants and dispelling darkness, so is the continual meditation, exercise, and use of God's holy Word equally necessary for eternal life and the enlightenment and illumination of the soul.

— John Knox (1514-1572), ‘A Fort for the Afflicted’
