[edit] Pseudo-historical

This article is replete with pseudo-historical assertions, and no useful references cited. It needs to be completely re-written. Seneschally 21:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, since no one else got around to tidying this, I managed to do so on 14 September, 400th anniversary of the Flight of the Earls. Enjoy,....and add more!! Seneschally 22:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additions

Some additions, and corrected Philip II's title of king in 1555 - it was because he was married to Mary. The papal bull merely reflected the reality on the ground. That is why we had "King's County" and "Queen's County", shired in 1556, named after them.Red Hurley 13:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
