I just noticed this message after modifying the link in the article. I wasn't sure, but based on contect I guessed Linton, Scottish Borders. I could be wrong. Mindmatrix 16:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Major's account of Scottish affairs" - this link goes to the modern John Major. Obviously not correct. --FinnWiki 22:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to have been part of the intriguing that followed Margaret's marriage to the Earl of Angus in 1514. According to the "biographical introduction" in Small's edition of the poetical works (the only source I happen to have at hand), Angus had James Beaton, the Lord Chancellor and Keeper of the Great Seal, arrested and the seal delivered into G.D.'s custody. The Lords of Council immediately ordered that the seal be returned to Beaton "because the samyn was taken fra him unorderlie." Nevertheless, there seems to have been a period of a couple of months (September–November 1514) in which G.D. styled himself Cancellarius (Chancellor) and presumably retained the seal. I notice that he doesn't appear in the list in Lord Chancellor of Scotland, though. Things were obviously rather unsettled at the time. Deor (talk) 14:08, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
