Excerpt from A History of the Highlands and of the Highland Clans, Vol. 1: Part IIAs the Highlands still continued in a state Of misrule, principally owing to the conduct of John of Moidart, the queen sent the earl of Athole to the Highlands, the following year, with a special commission to apprehend this turbulent chief, and he succeeded so well by negotiation as to prevail upon John, two of his sons, and some of his kinsmen, to submit themselves to the queen, who pardoned them, but ordered them to be detained prisoners in the castle of Methven where they were well treated. Disliking such restraint, they effected their escape into their own country privately, where they again began their usual restless course of life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
