Ane Satire Of The Three Estates

Set in the court of King James V, this satirical play critiques the political and social structures of 16th century Scotland through the lens of the three estates: clergy, nobility, and common people. Featuring characters like a corrupt bishop and a wise commoner, it employs allegory to highlight the vices of its time, particularly targeting the Catholic Church. Notably written in Scots language, this work reflects the cultural and literary context of its era and remains significant in the study of Renaissance drama.
