Note 26 — Chapter XII · THE END
Reading edition
This disgraceful scene is mentioned in more than one contemporary document; among others, though in a slightly different form, in a letter from M. de Graymond, French Resident in Edinburgh, to Cardinal Mazarin. See Memoirs of Montrose, ii. 77-82, and notes. Argyll always maintained that he had refused to take any part in pronouncing sentence on Montrose.
