"But how then can we account for the quite contrary story, which has been almost universally received?" Most easily. It was penned and published in French, English, and Latin
(by Queen Elizabeth's order) by George Buchanan, who was secretary to Lord Murray, and
in Queen Elizabeth's pay; so he was sure to throw dirt enough. Nor was she at liberty to
answer for herself. "But what then was Queen Elizabeth?" As just and merciful as Nero and
as good a Christian as Mohammed.
