By late 1404 Robert, with the aid of his close councillors Henry Sinclair, earl of Orkney, Sir David Fleming and Henry Wardlaw, had succeeded in re-establishing himself and intervened in favour of Alexander Stewart, the earl of Buchan's illegitimate son, who was in dispute with Albany over the earldom of Mar.

In the years between 1402 and 1406 Albany's considerable interests in the north were endangered forcing the duke into a reluctant alliance with his brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan and Buchan's son, also Alexander.

Buchan's ashes were returned to the UK aboard the cruiser HMS Orion for final burial at Elsfield, his family estate in Oxfordshire.

Later it is recorded that three sons of Buchan's were imprisoned in Stirling Castle from 1396 to 1402 and Alexander Grant theorises that Buchan's low profile during the 1390s might have been because of his sons ' incarceration.

They contrasted with early American hardcore bands by placing an emphasis on appearance with frontman Walter " Wattie " Buchan's giant red mohawk, and the bands continuance of wearing swastikas a la Sid Vicious.

This had been done in preparation for Buchan's appointment as Canada's governor general ; when consulted by Canadian prime minister Richard Bennett about the appointment, the Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, William Lyon Mackenzie King, had recommended that the King allow Buchan to serve as viceroy as a commoner, but George V insisted that he be represented by a peer.

Buchan's name had been earlier put forward by Mackenzie King to George V as a candidate for the governor generalcy: Buchan and his wife had been guests of Mackenzie King's at his estate, Kingsmere, in 1924, and Mackenzie King, who at that time was prime minister, was impressed with Buchan, stating, " I know no man I would rather have as a friend, a beautiful, noble soul, kindly & generous in thought & word & act, informed as few men in this world have ever been, modest, humble, true, man after God's own heart.

Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in British Columbia, now divided into Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park and Tweedsmuir North Provincial Park and Protected Area, was created in 1938 to commemorate Buchan's 1937 visit to the Rainbow Range and other nearby areas by horseback and floatplane.

Carrick had been made the king's lieutenant partly on the need to curb Buchan's excesses yet despite this by February 1387 Buchan had become even more powerful and influential when he was appointed Justiciar north of the Forth.

Hours before his death, by coincidence, a new issue of Charles Buchan's Football Monthly was published in the United Kingdom, with a photograph of a smiling Edwards on the cover.

Buchan's idea, implemented by Chapman, was to move the centre half from a roaming position in midfield to a " stopper " position in defence.

Since 2006, the Criterion has hosted the long-running melodrama The 39 Steps, adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow from John Buchan's 1915 novel, which was adapted for film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935.

Although drawing on Buchan's novel, it is chiefly influenced by Hitchcock's 1935 film adaptation.

King Robert's reputation declined because of his backing Buchan's methods and so in November 1384, John, Earl of Carrick with the backing of the general council, took executive authority from his father with lawlessness in the north being a major issue.

In April 1385, at the council, Buchan's brother David claimed that Buchan was holding Urquhart unlawfully, while Sir James Lindsay of Crawford reinstated his claim to the Lordship of Buchan and finally, the Earl of Moray demanded that some of Buchan's men be prosecuted for the killing of some of his men.

Buchan's increased influence in Scottish affairs was again furthered when sometime before February 1387, he was appointed Justiciar North of the Forth Carrick's guardianship of Scotland had not been a success and certainly failed to reign in Buchan and so late in 1388, King Robert's second son, Robert, Earl of Fife became the effective ruler of the Kingdom.

The novel featured Buchan's oft used hero, Richard Hannay, whose character was based on Edmund Ironside, a friend of Buchan from his days in South Africa.

In 1935, Buchan's literary work was adapted to the cinematic theatre with the completion of Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps, starring Robert Donat as Richard Hannay, though with Buchan's story much altered.

The king's failure to take a leading role in prosecuting the war with England and Buchan's abuse of royal power in the north was the backdrop to the general council meeting at Holyrood Abbey in November 1384 where the decision was taken to sideline the king and provide the ruling powers to Carrick.

Fife was retained as Guardian of Scotland probably much against Buchan's hopes as he must have looked at some sort of volte-face on some of Fife's actions, particularly as Buchan reached his zenith of possessions under Carrick.

Buchan's brutal assault on Moray in 1390 was to some extent intended to extricate himself from Fife's domination but turned out to be unsuccessful — Alexander was to lose his Lordship of Urquhart in 1392 and then his claim on Ross following his wife's divorce in 1392.

Many feel that the character of Sandy Arbuthnot, Hannay's resourceful polyglot friend, was based on Buchan's friend, Aubrey Herbert, and perhaps also Lawrence of Arabia, while the character of Hannay drew on the real life military officer, Field Marshal Lord Ironside.

This was typical of British adventure stories of the period ( e. g. Buchan's Greenmantle, 1916 ), but McNeile's works are notable for their frequent hostile references to foreigners, especially Germans, and to Jews.

In the mean time a detachment of 1, 200 infantrymen was to be placed at Buchan's disposal, to weaken the enemy ’ s quarters along the borders of the Lowlands.

BBC Radio 4 pulled its scheduled Classic Serial without explanation ; it was to have been John Buchan's Greenmantle, about the revolt of Muslims against British interests abroad.

Buchan's experiences during the First World War made him averse to conflict, he tried to help prevent another war in coordination with United States president Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mackenzie King.

" The Governor General had formed a strong bond with his prime minister, even if it may have been built more on political admiration than personal friendship ; while Mackenzie King appreciated his " sterling rectitude and disinterested purpose ," despite being wary of Buchan's vices ( such as his penchant for titles ),

In 1385, the general council sharply condemned Buchan's behaviour and sat with the intention of maneuvering Carrick into firmly intervening in the north.

The four month delay in the crowning of Robert III can be seen as a period when Fife and his affinity sought to ensure their future positions and which also saw Buchan's opportunistic attack on Elgin Cathedral, settling an old score with the Bishop of Moray and possibly also a protest at Fife's reappointment as the king's lieutenant.

It met with modest success, and critics compared Powell's portrayal of John Buchan's character favourably with his predecessors.

Ruritania inspired other fictional countries, such as Ixania in Eric Ambler's The Dark Frontier, Riechtenburg in Dornford Yates ' Blood Royal and Fire Below, and Evallonia in John Buchan's Castle Gay and The House of the Four Winds, which share with the original the depiction of complex power struggles in which a visiting protagonist from a real country becomes deeply involved.

In addition, Bishop Bur's involvement with Buchan's estrangement with his wife and then Bur's alignment with Moray presented an opportunity for revenge culminating in the destruction of Forres in May and then Elgin with its cathedral in June.

There he developed a love of walking, as well as for the local scenery and wildlife, which often featured in his novels ; the name of a protagonist in several of Buchan's books Sir Edward Leithen is borrowed from the Leithen Water, a tributary of the River Tweed.

Not all Canadians shared Buchan's views ; he raised the ire of imperialists when he said in Montreal in 1937: " a Canadian's first loyalty is not to the British Commonwealth of Nations, but to Canada and Canada's King ," a statement that the Montreal Gazette dubbed as " disloyal.

Buchan's 100 works include nearly thirty novels, seven collections of short stories, and biographies of Sir Walter Scott, Caesar Augustus, and Oliver Cromwell.

Perhaps because of Buchan's work, Prester John appeared in pulp fiction and comics throughout the century.

These complaints damaged the king's standing within the Council leading to criticism of his ability to curb Buchan's activities.

Robert II toured the north-east of the kingdom in late January 1390 perhaps to reinforce the changed political scene in the north following Buchan's removal from authority.

Buchan's use of cateran supporters drew criticism from Northern nobles and prelates and demonstrated Robert II's inability or reluctance to control his son and resulted in him losing council support.

Constance was a missionary bishopric in newly converted lands, and did not look back on late Roman church history ( unlike the Raetian bishopric of Chur, established 451 ) and Basel, which was an episcopal seat from 740, and which continued the line of Bishops of Augusta Raurica, see Bishop of Basel.

There is, however, only one known account from a native Briton who lived at this time in the mid 5th Century A. D., ( Gildas ), and his description is of a forced takeover: For the fire ... spread from sea to sea, fed by the hands of our foes in the east, and did not cease, until, destroying the neighbouring towns and lands, it reached the other side of the island, and dipped its red and savage tongue in the western ocean.

These included major controversy over the United States ' proposal to allow credit for carbon " sinks " in forests and agricultural lands, satisfying a major proportion of the U. S. emissions reductions in this way ; disagreements over consequences for non-compliance by countries that did not meet their emission reduction targets ; and difficulties in resolving how developing countries could obtain financial assistance to deal with adverse effects of climate change and meet their obligations to plan for measuring and possibly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

These novels — including The Wood Beyond the World and The Well at the World's End — have been credited as important milestones in the history of fantasy fiction, because, while other writers wrote of foreign lands, or of dream worlds, or the future ( as Morris did in News from Nowhere ), Morris's works were the first to be set in an entirely invented fantasy world.
