a Scotch prelate, was early preferred to the priory of Whitehern, in Galloway, and at the same time became instructor to the young king James V. He was made bishop of Glasgow December 22, 1524; in 1526 one of the privy council, and Aug. 21, 1528, lord chancellor, continuing in this last office until 1543. Having then some leisure time, he built the stately gate-house at his episcopal palace in Glasgow. He died April 30, 1547. See Keith, Scottish Bishops, page 256.
