	intro
		[“George Buchanan was more sparing and modest in telling the story of his life, being brief, terse and candidly self-revealing, so that the did not sufficiently dissimulate his opinion of those novel and depraved sects which infected many men’s minds at that time.”]
		If it seems unlikely that that Buchanan would have gotten the year of James’ birth wrong (Mary only married James’ father on July 29 of that year), it is wildly implausible to accept the idea that he could have been five years out in remembering the year of his appointment to this most important office.
		Buchanan could have stood his ground and stoutly maintained that Mary’s murder of Lord Darnley and subsequent behavior was a sufficient reason for his abandonment of her, and by doing so he could have purged himself of any accusation of ingratitude or personal disloyalty.
