Other alleged historical myths touched upon by the author are the commonly believed ( but false ) story that troops fired on the public at the 1910 Tonypandy Riot , the traditional depiction of the Boston Massacre , the martyrdom of Margaret Wilson and the life and death of Mary , Queen of Scots . Grant adopts the term " Tonypandy " to describe widely believed historical myths , such as the supposed shootings at the Tonypandy Riots and believes popular accounts of Richard 's activities to fall into this category . This line of thought reflects a dislike and distrust of emotional popular narratives concerning supposed historical injustices which also surfaces in Tey 's other works
