Edmund kidnaps Lady Amelia to prevent her father, fiance and uncle from voting for Scotland uniting with England. Amelia does not love her fiance, but has agreed to marry to support her father. A little angsty for me love of country and familial duty and love vs. personal attraction and love. Though I did think that the repetitive way we talk to children can influence them through life is fairly well depicted, for example dwelling and highlighting their mistakes.
