Barbé is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores various intriguing aspects of Scottish history, particularly focusing on the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, with an underlying aim to present a captivating narrative of events and characters that are often overshadowed by more prominent historical figures. The work promises to offer readers insights into richly embroidered tales and lesser-known figures within this picturesque period. The opening of the text serves as a preface, where the author reflects on his journey of discovering Scotland and its history, indicating that he began with formal sources before delving into more personal, exploratory narratives. Barbé expresses his desire to share the enchantment he found in the overlooked details and scenic beauty of Scotland, thereby garnering a hope that his findings will resonate with others. This section sets the stage for the subsequent papers that will address diverse topics, including notable figures like Mary Queen of Scots and her loyal attendants known as the "Four Marys," blending historical depth with narrative charm.
