View close-up
The Scottish preacher John Knox (1505-1572) believed that "To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion or empire ... is repugnant to nature, contumely to God � and finally it is the subversion of good order, of all equity and justice." Knox aimed his attack at Mary I of England, Mary Queen of Scots, her mother Mary of Guise.
