QUEEN HYNDE
QUEEN HYNDE by James Hogg (Abridged)
A stirring account of adventure and romance set in the
early Scotland of saints and swordsmen. A young Scottish queen must
rule, and seek a husband, whilst in imminent peril from a sea-borne
Viking attack.
The author claimed the tale to be true, handed down in
story and song, and without doubt many characters are historically
authentic.The remnants of Beregonium, first palace of the Scots and
original home of the Stone of Destiny, still exist on a vitrified, rocky
hill in Benderloch Argyll.
Whatever the truth, standing on the mighty cliff of the 'Fort of the King' and gazing
westwards over the magnificent bay it is easy to imagine that great
deeds once chose this land as their stage. And that some beautiful,
royal lady gave birth to a legend whose shadows cling here for
ever.

Queen Hynde
Scotland the brave: a young country of
untamed grandeur extending along the western seaboard of Albyn,
north of the River Clyde. The Scot, moulded by mountain and sea,
wild wood and foaming torrent, lives free as the eagle. His passion
is war: the manly combat of sword and dirk - commemorated in fiery
Gaelic verse and sung by the great bards. A solitary
wind-and-rain-swept cairn marks his final passing.
Such was the age, and such the
day,
When young Queen Hynde, with gentle sway,
Ruled o'er a
people bold and free,
From vale of Clyde to Orcady.
The tale
is old, but the event
Confirm'd by dreadful monument.
Her
sire had eastern vales laid waste,
The Pict subdued, the Saxon
chased,
And, dying old and loved, resign'd
The sceptre to
his lovely Hynde.
"Now note my will - My
daughter Hynde
Must wed the knight that suits her mind;
Her
choice no interest let revoke,
Be it as free as bird on
oak..."
Her father directs that she
must be chaste and marry a suitable husband of good stock to
continue the line. She should watch the chiefs in debate and
tournament then make her choice. He promises to watch over her in
spirit:
'I may not warn thee face to
face;
But still, when danger or disgrace
Unseen approaches,
I'll be nigh;
Therefore, my child on dreams rely...
