This paper aims to sketch a little of the background history of the ideas behind the events that led to the martyrdom of John Ogilvie. In so doing, no pretense is made at reducing politics, religion, personal commitment and loyalty to one single ideological cause, nor, even worse, claim that ideologies drove people and events before them like skittles. The aim is more modest than that of tracing a series of causes and effects. If it fails to enmesh with the historical realities such as traced by eminent historians such as Durkan and Dilworth,1 nevertheless it might still help in the interpretation of these lives and events.

本文旨在概述导致约翰·奥格维 (John Ogilvie) 殉难的事件背后的思想背景历史。这样做并不是为了减少对单一意识形态事业的政治、宗教、个人承诺和忠诚度，更不是声称意识形态像撞球一样推动了人们和他们面前的事件。其目的比追踪一系列因果关系更为温和。如果它不能融入诸如德肯和迪尔沃思等著名历史学家所追踪的历史现实，1 尽管如此，它仍然可能有助于解释这些生活和事件。
