If you wanna contradict Boece, then I suggest you come up with evidence. And if you do, you might wanna submit it to scholars.  [/b] |
Well what you do is go and find me a source that states verbatim what Hector Boece actually stated-paraphrasing his statement and placing it in inverted commas might impress some people but if I'm being asked to interpret a piece of textual evidence it is only fair that I am provided with a source detailing exactly what it says.
