was willing to haif maryid with the kyng of Scotland and maid him kyng of the hole I le after him to haue enterid him at that present time in possessiō of the Duchy of Yorke but the sayd Schir Iames euer hauing eye to his awin scope hinderid this purpois by sum of the Kingis familiaris that he had practised with by giftis and specially by the Bischop of Sanctandros Iames Betoun vncle to the Erle of Aranis mother and greit vncle to Schir Iames wyfe and raysed sic suspitioun betuix the twa Kingis that brought baith the realmes in greit besines This purpois as sayd is put abak the King seing that his Ambassadouris furtherit not at his plesure deliuerid him self in persoun to ga by sey in France and Schir Iames Hamiltoun perseuering in his former intētion went with him to hinder his mariage by all menis that he might and to that effect the King sleiping in the Schip without any necessitie of winde and wedder Schir Iames caused the marineris to turne saill of the West coist of Ingland bacwart and land in Galloway quhair the Kyng was varray miscontent with Schir Iames and Maister Dauid Panter principall causeris of his returnyng as diuers that was in the Schip yit liuyng can

freindis in his absēce the quhilk Erle pretēded a right and tytill to the hole Erldome of Arrane the present Erle for that time being knawin to be bastard as also it was in mens recent memorie how Schir Iames Hamiltoun had cruellie slayne the Erle of Lennox at Linlythgow euin to the great displesure of the Erle of Arrane father to Schir Iames and vncle to the Erle of Lennox commyng by the Kingis commandiment to Linlythgow Sa the King as sayd is vnderstandyng the priuate practike of Schir Iames in keipyng him vnmaryid haistit hym the mair eirnestlie to mary to the effect that hys successioun might put the Hamiltounis out of hope of thair intent and hym out of danger by the Hamiltounis And albeit that Schir Iames to make him self clene of that suspitioun soght many diueris wayis to the distructioun of the Erle of Arrane hys brother yit he could neuer cōqueis the Kingis fauour vntill finallie he was executid for tresoun and tooke ane miserabill end conforme to his vngodly lyfe The King at last decessit leuing a doughter of sex dayis auld the Hamiltounis thoght all to be thairis For then the Erle of Arranea young man of small wit great inconstancie was set vp by sum of the Nobilitie sum familiar seruandis of the kingis lately deceissit for thay thought him mair tollerabill thē the Cardinall Beton quha by ane fals instrument had takin the supreme authoritie to him selfe The Erle of Arrane namid Gouernour by a priuait factioun and fauourid by sa many as professit the trew Religioun of Christ becaus he was beleift then to be of the same howbeit he was gentil of nature yit his freindis for the maist pairt wer gredie baith of geir and blud and geuin to iniustice quhair gayne followid Thair was in his time nothyng ellis but werr oppression and brybing of his callid brother the Bischop of Sanctandrois sa that all the Estatis wer werie of him and dischargid hym of hys office and charged with it an woman strangear In the begynnyng of hys gouernement the Quene and hir mother wer keipit by hym rather lyke presoneris then Princessis but yit that incommoditie was caus of preseruyng of the Quenis lyfe he beleifing to mary hir on his sone But after the Erle of Lennox had delyuerid tham out of his handis and the Nobilitie had refusid to mary hir on his sone howbeit he left his ferme freindis come to the Quene abiurid his Religion in the gray freieis of Striuiling yit he could neuer cum agane to his pretendid clymmyng to the Crowne quhilk he had lang soght partly by fauour of sic of the Nobilitie as wer alliat with him and partlie by distructioun of the ancient housis that might haif put impediment to his vnreasonabill ambitiō For hauing banished the Erle of Lennox he thoght the Erle of Angous to be the principall that might resist him and hauing enterid in waird Schir George Dowglas to be yit mair assurid he send for the said Erle of Angous in freindly maner put him in prisoun without any iust occasioun and wold haue beheadid them baith if the arriuing of the Inglis army had not stayit his purpois by the quhilk and feir of the murmour of the pepill he was constranit to deliuer thā And seing he durst not at sic a time put tham downe by tyrannie he offerit tham to the sword of the enemy to be slaine by tham And to the effect that thay and thayr freindes hauing put aback the Inglis horsmen receiuing an vther charge might be the mair easely slaine thay standing in battell and fighting for him he in the battell behind fled to 〈◊〉 tham and sa these Nobill men sa far as lay in him was slayne and preseruid by the prouidence of God The young Quene quhilk being in hir motheris keiping he might not put downe nor mary at his plesure he consentid to offer hir to the stormes of the sea and danger of enemeis and sold hir as a slaue in France for the Duchy of Chastellarault the quhilk he bruikis in Name onlie as the Crowne of Scotland in fantasie receauit sic price for hir as tresoun periurie and the sellyng of fre persounis should be recompensit with But yit the couatise of the Crowne that he had sold cessid not heir for befoir hir returning hame out of France at the troubillis quhilk began anent the repressing
