Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Scottish Antiquary, Vol. 12: Or Northern Notes Queries
In 1563 the Bishop finally returned to Scotland, where he became a supporter of the Reformers, though the date when he turned Protestant does not seem certain. When the death of the Regent Moray in 1570 opened that office to Lennox, his brother shared the spoils, and became Commendator of the Priory of St. Andrews, still continuing, however, to hold the designation of Bishop of Caithness and to draw the revenues without discharging any of the duties of the See. Almost the solitary Episcopal act with which he is credited was that in 1571 he joined with John Spottiswoode, the Superintendent of Lothian, and David Lindsay, Minister of Leith, afterwards Tulchan Bishop of Ross, in the consecration of John Douglas, Morton's Tulchan Archbishop of St. Andrews.
