for researchers
this is a glorified family tree of the wishart family, along with what is basically an encyclopedia entry for george wishart, and would only be of interest to people studying that family in or outside of the context of the scottish reformation. the main source of this history is john knox, who may have romanticized/fabricated certain aspects of certain things rather substantially in order to fix a desired narrative. this is cursory to my interests in things. rather, it's important in my tree from three contexts.
the first is that the wishart line is ancestral to karl marx' wife. the second is that the wishart line descends from scottish nobility (thereby making marx a sort of nouveau riche). the third is that there were some reformation-era preachers along the line that had an influence on the development of protestantism in the united kingdom.
the primary topic of the text is discussed on his own page, over here.
the text was clearly never edited, as it is full of confusing typos. thankfully, the logic to put the tree together properly is entirely self-contained.
