first of her factious parliaments, in the ancient hall of the Scottish
estates. He saw her standing with the triumphant Darnley at the
altar of Sancte Crucis, with more in her air and eye of the timid bride
than the stately queen, blushing and abashed by the side of her
handsome and exulting vassal.
Then came the memory of that terrible hour in the Kirk-of-Field
—the night in the towers of Dunbar, and that fruitless cry for mercy
—the sad low wail that chilled the ruffian heart of Ormiston.
He saw to what he had reduced that bright and happy being,
who, like a butterfly or an Indian bird, was born alone for the
sunshine and the most flowery paths of life! He saw her robbed of
her purity and sweetness—crushed like a rose beneath the coil of a
snake; and fancy painted her in a prison like his own, sad, solitary,
and desolate—broken in heart, and crushed in spirit—blighted in
name and fame and honour—withered in hope, and faded in form—a
household word of scorn to the cruel and the factious, and all by him
—by him, who had loved her so madly and so wickedly.
These thoughts poured like a current through the floodgate of
memory; each and all came back with returning consciousness; and
gradually his career arose before him, like one stupendous curse.
He sighed heavily.
"God be with thee, thou sinful and vainglorious—thou rash and
headstrong—lord!" said the priest; "now thou seest to what thy
manifold transgressions against the blessed law have brought thee."
"It was my doom—my destiny," replied the Earl, pressing his
bony hands upon his thin, wan temples.
"Nay, Lord Earl," replied the other, in a sad and broken accent;
"unless it be that a man maketh his own destiny, as assuredly thou
didst thine."
"And who," he asked, endeavouring to pierce the gloom with his
hopeless eye; "who art thou that speakest thus to Bothwell?"
"One, in other days, Lord Bothwell's steadfast friend. I am John
Hepburn of Bolton—hast thou quite forgotten me? I was long the
partner of thy folly—the abettor of thine insane ambition—the
partaker of thy damning guilt! O miserere mei Deus!"
"Oh, Bolton! John of Bolton!" exclaimed the fettered Earl,
bursting into tears, and stretching forth his thin worn hands, which
the priest grasped with fervour; "I know thee now—and where I am,
and what I am. And thou art now a priest? Oh, how much thou art
to be envied! Years—years have gone past me as the wind passes
over the ocean. As the waves arise and sink, these years have come
and gone, and have left no trace on my memory. But I feel that I am
dying now!" he exclaimed in an unearthly voice; "Oh, God of my
fathers! look down with pity on me, the most abject of their race!
Oh, John of Bolton! if Heaven should be as unforgiving as earth—if
God should be as inexorable as man!"
"Think not so, Bothwell"——
"Oh! it were indeed better that I should perish altogether, and
pass into oblivion."
"Say not so," replied Bolton; "behold the flowers of the field,
and the fruits of the earth; they spring up—they bloom—they wither,
and die, but only to be reproduced at another season, more
beautiful and blooming than before. So it is with men—and so will it
be with thee. All human memory is freighted with care and sad
remembrance"——
"But few with such remorse as mine."
"This contrition and grief are good," replied the priest, as, with
kindling eyes, he pointed upwards to Heaven; "by perishing thou
shalt be preserved, and die but to be renewed for ever, and in such
glory as the mind of angels can alone conceive; for He who is above
us, beareth aloft those scales, from which, on one hand, he metes
out eternal life to the good and contrite—on the other, the eternal
punishment to the unrepentant."
"Thou hast been lately in Scotland," said the Earl abruptly.
"Nay; not for ten long years," replied the priest calmly.
"Ten, ten!" reiterated Bothwell, passing his hands across his
brow; "and what of Mary?"
"She is still a captive, with the axe of the English queen hanging
over her devoted head."
Bothwell started, as if he would have leaped from the ground;
but his strength failed him, and he sank heavily on the straw among
which he was chained.
"My energies, so briefly gained, are sinking fast again; but ere
they leave me, and perhaps for ever—oh! thou who art a priest,
bless me, for I have sinned! Hear my confession—let it be written
out, and attested by the captain of my prison, that my last earthly
act may be one of justice to her whom I have so deeply wronged.
Oh, John of Bolton! thou knowest well that she was the most
innocent and artless of all God's creatures! Quick, quick! as an
atonement to her, and to the world, for all I have done—hasten, ere
it be too late!" cried the Earl sinking back, overcome by weakness
and despair.
The friar knocked hurriedly on the dungeon door; it was opened
by a Danish pikeman, who, by his request, hastened to summon the
attendance of Biern Gowes, the castellan of Malmö and governor of
Draxholm. Unwillingly he came, accompanied by Christian Alborg,
Otto Brawe, captain of the king's castle of Ottenbrocht, Baron
Gullemstierne, and others, with whom he had been drinking
skiedam, till their faces, where visible through their red Danish
beards and outrageous whiskers, were flushed like scarlet—and in
their presence, that document now so well known, the CONFESSION
of Bothwell's many crimes, and Mary's innocence of all that she had
ever been accused of, was written, attested, and sealed up for
transmission to King Frederick.
What a subject for a picture would this episode have formed!
That dreary vault of red granite, half-veiled in dusky obscurity,
save where the moonlight struggled through a narrow slit on one
hand; while, on the other, the flickering light of a single torch shed
its fitful glare on the unearthly form of the dying Earl—hollow-eyed,
pale, and attenuated to a skeleton—chained by the waist to his bed
of straw, and sinking fast, with the death rattle almost in his throat;
the bald head and dark robe of the priest, who knelt by his side
writing down his dying words—that priest in other days his friend
and knightly comrade—on the tall, burly figures of the sleepy Danish
governor and his friends, with their long beards, and fantastic
costumes trimmed with sable fur, stooping over the sputtering torch,
to hear the faint but terrible words of those pale lips that were about
to close for ever.
"Now, blessed be God, it is done!" cried the Earl, closing his
eyes; "for I feel that I am passing from among you. I am dying! Oh,
John of Bolton! in this dread moment let me think that thou at least
will stand by my grave—will say one prayer for my soul; and, in
memory of the days of other years, will remember me with pity and
forgiveness!"
Bolton pressed his clammy hand, but there was no return, for
the jaw relaxed, and the eyes turned back within their sockets,
announced that the soul of the Earl had fled.

* * * * * * * *

His grave lay under the old castle wall, in a lonely little dell.
It was shaded by the light leaves of the dwarf-birch and the
purple flowers of the lilac tree; the blue forget-me-not, the white
strawberry, and the yellow daisy, were planted there by the kind-
hearted Swedes, in memory of the poor stranger that had found a
grave so far from his home, and from where the dust of his
forefathers lay.
On St. Bothan's eve, for many a returning year, a wandering
priest was seen to kneel beside that lonely grave, with eyes
downcast, and a crucifix in his clasped hands; and after praying he
would go sadly away, but whither no one knew.
Year after year passed on, and still he came to offer up that
promised prayer for the repose of the dead man's soul; though on
the grave the weeds grew long and rank, and he who lay within it
had long since mingled with the dust.
Those who first remembered the priest when they were little
children, saw him still returning when they were men and women in
the prime of life—but then he was decrepit and old.
The last time he was seen was in the reign of King Christian IV.,
about the year 1622. His form was then bent with extreme old age,
and he leaned upon a staff; his hair was thin and white—his cheeks
were hollow, and he wept as he prayed.
He gazed long and wistfully at the grassy tomb, and tottered
away to return no more.
Where that poor priest died, no man knew.
And there lay the deserted grave in its loneliness, by the shore
of the northern sea, with the long grass waving on its solemn ridge,
till in time it became flattened and effaced, and its memory was
forgotten; for no kind hand ever raised a stone to mark where that
memorable instance of ambition and misrule, the last Earl of the old
line of Hailes and Bothwell, lay.

NOTES.
ANNA ROSENKRANTZ.

The foregoing story has been conceived from a passage in SUHM'S


"SAMLINGES," or Collections for the History of Denmark.
As stated in the romance, there is every reason to believe that
James Hepburn, the famous Earl of Bothwell, was married early in
life to a Norwegian lady, Anne Throndson (daughter of Christopher
Throndson), prior to his marriage with Lady Jean Gordon, of the
house of Huntly, and that his possessing, by her, certain lands in
Orkney, was the reason for his obtaining the Dukedom of these Isles
in 1567.—(See Les Affaires du Conte de Boduel: Bannatyne Club.)
After his battle with, and defeat at sea by, the celebrated Sir
William Kirkaldy of Grange, Bothwell entered Karmesound, a harbour
between the island of Karm and the mainland, where he was found
by Captain Christian Alborg, commander of the Biornen, or Great
Bear, a Danish ship of war. He immediately demanded Bothwell's
passports and licence for sailing with flag displayed and cannon bent
in the Danish seas; and, failing their production, requested the Earl
to follow him to Bergen up the Jelta Fiord. In his declaration or
report, Alborg states, "That among the Scottish crew there was one
dressed in old torn and patched boatswain's clothes, who, some time
afterwards, stated himself to be the supreme ruler of all Scotland."
This was the Earl, with whom he reached the castle of Bergen
on the 2nd September, 1567.
The governor of the castle and province, as stated in the
romance, was Erick Rosenkrantz, a wealthy Danish noble, who, on
the captain's report, appointed a committee of twenty-four
gentlemen to examine the captive. They met on the 23rd
September; among them were the bishop and four councillors of
Bergen, who successively questioned Bothwell. He requested and
obtained leave to reside in the city. Among his followers, we are told,
there was found "one David Wood, a famous pirate."
Magister Absalom Beyer, the minister of Bergen, who has left
behind him a diary, called The Chapter Book, extending from the
year 1533 to 1570, recorded the following, which is extracted from
SUHM'S "SAMLINGES."
"1567, September 2—Came in (to Bergen harbour) the ship
Royal David, of which Christian Alborg is captain. He had captured a
Scottish noble, named James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, Duke of
Orkney and Shetland, who had been wedded to the Queen of
Scotland. He was suspected to have been in the plot against the
King's life. The Council of the kingdom having revolted against the
Queen, this Earl escaped, and has come hither to Norway.
"1567, September 17—I upbraided the Lady Anne, the daughter
of Christopher Throndson, that the Earl of Bothwell had taken her
from her native country, and yet would not keep her as his lawful
wife, which he had promised her to do, with hand, mouth, and
letters, which letters she caused to be read before him; and,
whereas, he has three wives living—firstly, herself—secondly,
another in Scotland, from whom he has bought (divorced?) himself—
and, thirdly, Queen Mary. The Lady Anne opined, 'that he was good
for nothing.' Then he promised her an annual rent of a hundred
dollars from Scotland, and a ship with all her anchors and cordage
complete.
"1567, September 25—The Earl went to the Castle, where Erick
Rosenkrantz did him great honour.
"1567, September 28—Erick Rosenkrantz made a splendid
banquet for the Earl and his followers.
"1567, September 30—The Earl departed on board the David,
and was carried captive into Denmark, where he yet remains in the
Castle of Malmo at this time, 1568.
"1567, October 10—Part of the Earl's men were returned to
Scotland, on beard a small pink which Erick Rosenkrantz lent them,
and, it is said, they were all put to death on their landing."
The only discrepancy lies in one statement of the Magister and
the Committee; the former calls the Danish ship, the David; the
latter, Biornen; but probably the Captain Alborg commanded two
bearing these names.
From other passages in the diary, we find that so early as 1563,
Lady Anna Rosenkrantz moved in the best circle in the province
(which she could not have done as Bothwell's mistress); and also
that she was usually named Skottefruin, or the Scottish lady. Her
second sister, Dorothy, was married to John Stewart, a gentleman of
Shetland; and the third, Else', was thrice married—the last time to
Axel Mouatt, a Scottish gentleman settled in Norway.
The song sung by Anna in the first volume, is an old Norse or
Lapland ballad, and is taken from Consett's Remarks in a Tour
through Lapland.

II.—THE QUEEN'S APOTHECARY.

Three documents are still preserved in the General Register House of


Edinburgh, from which we learn the name of this person, and other
interesting items concerning that murder in the Kirk-of-Field, which
bears so prominent a place in the romance.
On the 12th February, this precept, written by the Earl of Huntly,
was issued by the Queen's order to Mr Robert Richardson, treasurer
of Scotland, to pay £40 for perfuming the King's body.
"My Lord Thesaurar, forsamekle as the Queenis Majestie and
Counsell has direckett ane Pottinger and Schirurgen to caus perfume
the Kingis body, and in respect that there is syndri thingis requirit to
the samyn quhilkis thay hadde nocht, heirfore the Queenis Majestie
has ordanit me to advertis you, that ye cans delyver fourtie pundis
for performance of sick necessars as appertenis thairtill, quhilkis sal
be allouit to you, and delyver the same to the Pottinger, and tak his
vritting thairon; and for my awin part, I vald pray you effectualy that
the said soume war perfarmit with diligence and delyverit in all haist,
in respect the same rynis to the Queenis Majesties honor and the
hale cuntrey.
"At the Palyce of Halirudhous, the xij. februar, 1566.
"Your L. guid freind, HUNTLYE."
"To my Lord Thesraur."

(In dorso.)

"Je, Martin Picauet, appore de la Royne de Scosse, Douairiere de


France, confesse auair Recu de Mr. Robert Richardson, tresorier des

"E. PICAUET."

The High Treasurer's Accounts contain two interesting entries for the
above purpose,
"Item, the xij. day of Februar, be the Queenis grace's speciall
command to Martine Picauet, ypothegar, to mak furnesing of
droggis, spices, and utheris necessaris for oppining and perfuming of
the Kingis grace Majesties umquhile bodie, as his acquittance shawin
upon compt beris, ... xl. li.
"Item, for colis, tubbis, hardis, barrellis, and utheris necessaris
preparit for bowalling of the Kingis grace. ... xlvj. s."
For more information concerning this, see the third volume of
ARCHÆOLOGIA SCOTICA, from which this is taken.

III.—QUEEN MARY'S ARCHERS.


"The Archearis of our Soverane Ladyis Gaird," seem to have
numbered only seventy-five on their muster roll, in the books of the
Comptroller and Collector of the Thirds of Benefices, 1st April, 1562.
The pay list is as follows:—

"*Item*, To the Captain of the Guard, . . . . . v. c.


lib.
"To Robert Stewart, Ensign, . . . . . . . . . . j. c. l.
lib.
"To Corporal Jenat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . l. v.
li.
"To Captain Bello . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . j. c.
lib.
"To Captain Hew Lawder . . . . . . . . . . . . lxxv.
lib."

Six Frenchmen, Dionese and Charles La Brone, Duval, La Bram, La


Fram, Savoy, and a Trumpeter, appear on the list.
This garde-du-corps, which were enrolled under Sir Arthur
Erskine, 1st April, 1562, or not quite a year after the Queen's return
from France, continued under pay till 1567, when they were
disbanded on her imprisonment in Lochleven. See the Maitland Club
Miscellany.
IV.—BOTHWELL.

The following document is so little known, and so immediately


relates to the melancholy fate of the unhappy hero of these pages,
that an apology is almost unnecessary for presenting it here to the
reader. It is the royal order for imprisoning him in the Castle of
Malmö:—

Til Biorn Kaas.

"FREDERICK—Be it known unto you, that we have ordered our well-


beloved Peder Oxe, our man, Councillor and Marshall of the Kingdom
of Denmark, to send the Scottish Earl, who resides in the Castle of
Copenhagen, over to our Castle of Malmo, where he is to remain for
some time. Therefore we request of you, that you will prepare the
same vaulted room in the Castle where the Marshal Eyler
Hardenberg had his apartment; and that you will cover with mason-
work the private place in the same chamber; and where the iron
bars of the windows may not be sufficiently strong and well
guarded, that you will have them repaired; and when he arrives,
that you will put him in the said chamber, give him a bed and good
entertainment, as Peder Oxe will further direct and advise you; and
that you, before all things, will keep a strong guard, and hold in
good security, the said Earl, as you may best devise, in order that he
shall not escape.
"THER MET SKEER WOR WILGE. (Thereby our will is done.)
"Written at Fredericksborg, the 28th day of December, of the
year after the birth of Christ, 1567."

(See Les Affaires du Conte de Boduel, 4to.)
