Seventh son of the penurious Laird of Balfour, the fiercely ambitious
David Beaton was determined to rise in the world - by whatever means

century and the real ruler of James V's Scotland.

the Cardinal who was no saint. Set against the background of war and
Reformation, this is a thrilling story from Nigel Tranter, master of
