‘Money and the Making of the American Revolution’ by our very own Andrew Edwards is available for order now, ahead of its publication in December! This book is both an ambitious new interpretation of the Revolution and a fascinating story about the power of economic ideas. (1/2)

Any early-modern Scottish #skystorians? re monarchs and popes: BBC says 'first British', Guardian says 'first reigning English' monarch to pray with the Pope ('in the last 500 years', 'since the Reformation' or 'since 1534'). Does the distinction matter? Did James V or MaryQS pray with the Pope?
