| | In 1623 William Bishop was appointed vicar Apostolic for England and Scotland; but the Scotch Catholics were afterwards withdrawn from his jurisdiction, and subjected to their own missionary prefects. | | | Edward I, the powerful and ambitious King of England, whose hope was the union of the Kingdom of Scotland with his own, immediately began negotiations for the marriage of Margaret to his son. | | | The concession to Catholics of civil and political liberty by the Emancipation Act of 1829 was preceded and followed in Scotland, as in England, by disgraceful exhibitions of bigotry and intolerance, although many prominent Scotsmen, including Sir Walter Scott, were entirely in its favour. |

| | He was in his mid-thirties when he came to England, with long experience of rule, a high and confident sense of his kingship. | | | But what James VI had inherited from his Stuart ancestors, most notably James IV and the even more effective James V, was a lofty vision of the diplomatic importance of the king of Scots and his ability to have an impact on other European countries. | | | But as neither Charles nor the Scots would accept it, insisting instead that Charles was king of Britain, the idea lapsed, and, ironically, Cromwell imposed a greater degree of union than had been the case hitherto, when he briefly created a single British parliament. |
