• Notes

  "He was one of the most noted nobles in the reign of Queen Mary, belonging to the party which sided with the Reformers. He was an adherent of Darnley, and was the principal actor in the murder of Riccio in 1566. After the murder, abandoned by Darnley, he fled to England, where he died at Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland." [Magna Carta Ancestry, citation details below]
