Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh, King's Advocate - His Life and Times, Andrew Lang

Andrew Lang's biography of 'Bluidy Mackenzie', not only one of the leading advocates of his age, but a leading politician and writer on a broad range of suubjects in the reigns of Charles II, James VII and II, and Williamp. A royalist, 'absolutist' and leading persecutor of the Covenantors, he lost office under James VII because of his unwillingness to accept religious toleration of Catholics, and was then forced into exile in England after the Williamite revolution because of his Stewart sympathies.
