Camden wrote a hearsay story during James I's time about Buchanan.
Of course, there are many differing opinions on the matter. Some have pointed to the works of scholars like Ruddiman and Love, who have provided extensive analysis on both sides of the argument. However, even with all this research, there is still no clear consensus on what exactly happened.
George Chalmers, for example, takes a very strong stance in his life of Ruddiman. He argues that Buchanan was a liar who had convinced himself of the truthfulness of his own forgeries. This is certainly a provocative stance, but whether or not it's accurate is another matter entirely.
Overall, I found this story to be a fascinating glimpse into the history of Scotland. It's amazing to think that we are still debating the words of someone who lived in James I's time. To anyone interested in the history of Scotland, I highly recommend taking a deeper look into this story and drawing your own conclusions.
