Noble friends,
A rare and important letter from the French King to his agents in Rome
concerning Sir William Wallace is back in Scotland and will go on public
display, according to a BBC story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-16530452 . The
letter instructed the French ambassador to the Vatican to assist Wallace
with whatever business he had with the Pope. The document will be
displayed alongside another letter supposedly written by Wallace himself
shortly after the Battle of Sterling Bridge. The French letter will be
in Scotland for two years, and may give an important boost to the
planned referendum on independence from Great Britain.
Yours Aye,
Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
