Illustration by William Henry Margetson (1861-1940) from a history of the Scottish People published in 1893. Knox had learned of Mary’s plans to marry the Catholic Spanish prince Don carlos and believed this would entrench her more firmly within the trappings of Catholicism, and further elevate the potential for persecution against the reformed Church of Scotland. Knox took to the pulpit charging the Scottish nobility with bringing God's vengeance upon the country if they permitted it.
