Parliament and Convention in the Personal Rule of James V of Scotland, 1528–1542

By: Amy Blakeway

This book, based on a fresh understanding of Scottish governmental records rooted in extensive archival research, offers the first study of these important institutions in a period of revived royal authority. The regime which emerges from these records is one which understood the power of consultation, adroitly using a range of groups from full parliaments to conventions of specialists and experts selected to deal with the matter in hand. Policies were crafted through not one single meeting but several types of gathering, ranging from small groups when secrecy was of the essence or complex details required to be hammered out, to elaborate large gatherings when the regime employed a performative strategy to disseminate information or legitimise its policies. Still more impressively, much of this was managed in the King’s absence – James remained at a distance from many of these gatherings, relying on key officials such as the Chancellor or Clerk Register to relay counsel and the royal will. This emphasis on specialised, frequent consultation reflects concurrent developments in the council, whilst relocating debate surrounding the development of state and administrative structures in Scotland traditionally located in the late sixteenth-century into the 1530s. In tackling the development of parliament in Scotland and placing it in its proper context amongst many different forms of consultative meeting this book also speaks to subjects of European-wide concern: how far early modern Parliaments were used to impose or resist religious change, the pace of state formation, monarchical power and relations between monarchs and their subjects.

Love and Death in Kathmandu

A Strange Tale of Royal Murder

By: Amy Willesee,Mark Whittaker

On June 1, 2001, the heir to the Nepalese throne, Crown Prince Dipendra, donned military fatigues, armed himself with automatic weapons, walked in on a quiet family gathering, and, without a word, mowed his family down before turning a gun on himself. But Dipendra did not die immediately, and while lying in a coma was declared king. He was now a living god. Award-winning journalists Amy Willesee and Mark Whittaker set out to understand what could have led to such a devastating tragedy, one that fascinated and appalled the world. Exploring Kathmandu and other parts of the kingdom, they conducted exhaustive interviews with everyone from Maoist guerillas to members and friends of the royal family, gaining insight into the people involved in and the events behind the massacre. At the heart of the story is the love affair between Dipendra and the beautiful aristocrat Devyani Rana, whom he was forbidden to marry. Culminating their portrait of Nepal is a chilling reconstruction of the events of that fatal day. As conspiracy theories circulate and rebels threaten to topple the monarchy, the future of this small Himalayan kingdom promises to be as tumultuous as its past. Revealing a country where the twenty-first century mingles uneasily with the fourteenth, Love and Death in Kathmandu is both an enlightening portrait of a place that is a world apart and a riveting investigation of an incredible crime.

Miracles happen every day—to people from all walks of life. You’ll be inspired, awed and comforted by these 101 stories from ordinary people who’ve had extraordinary experiences, including: Maggie, who told her mom at age 12 that she would marry the handsome star of her favorite movie, and then through a series of coincidences met him as an adult while an actress. She and Mark have been married more than 40 years. Cherri, who dreamt she found her drowned toddler floating in a neighbor’s pool after an extensive search. When she awoke, her son was actually missing. Cherri ran straight to the neighbor’s and found her son kneeling at the edge of the pool. Robert, who was pronounced dead after 30 minutes of CPR but whose wife insisted the doctor go back in and keep trying. All Robert remembers is an angel who kept pushing him away from the threshold of a serene blue-lit place he wanted to enter. Sherry, the Army officer who lost the diamond from her ring on the first day of training, spent weeks looking for it, and prayed during her graduation for it to be returned to her. Then she looked down and saw it in the mud between her boots. Lynn, who dreamt she saw a couple leave their newborn by a well where two women found her. A year later, Lynn adopted a one-year-old girl from China. When she and her daughter visited the orphanage 14 years later they saw the well where she had been left and met the two women who found her, exactly as in the dream.
