Andthat one day one of those embittered men would wreak a terrible revenge.The compelling 16th century story of the rise and fall of David Beaton -the Cardinal who was no saint. Set against the background of war andReformation, this is a thrilling story from Nigel Tranter, master ofScottish History.
