Abstract
In William Lamb’s Ane Resonyng of ane Scottis and Inglis Merchand betuix Rowand and Lionis, written in 1549, two merchants, one Scots and the other English, meet on a French road and quarrel over the legitimacy of the contemporary English invasion of Scotland, supporting their arguments with various authorities. Their dispute is witnessed by three earlier victims of English political violence – Thomas More, John Fisher and the Bridgettine Richard Reynolds, the martyrs of 1535. Beyond its propagandist implications, the Resonyng uses the presence of these revenants to meditate on the disjunction between suffering bodies and recording texts which translates lives into authorities.
