with Henry VIII.’s ecclesiastical policy, and to warn him against
Cardinal Beaton, the Rothesay herald was sent to greet him in the name
of the king. Next day, a Thursday, at 9 a.m., Sir William Ogilvy,
Captain Borthwick, lieutenant of the French King’s Guard, " Dauid
Lindesay, chief herauld to the king of Scots,” and the Rothesay herald
came to Sadler’s lodgings to conduct him to James, who was then at
mass. The interview terminated, the same party escorted him back to
his lodgings. Sadler had also asked to see the queen, and an interview
was arranged for the day following. On Sadler’s arrival at the palace
the queen was at mass, listening to a sermon in French. The service
over, Borthwick informed Sadler that he had the king’s permission to
speak with the queen. At the same time Sir David Lindsay went to the
queen, “ and spoke to her what I know not, and then came to me and
said, ‘ That the King had appointed me then to salute the Queen,
according to my request the day before.’ ” Later, Henry’s gift to James
of six geldings arrived, and on Saturday, 21 February, the King sent
Rothesay to ask for them to be presented the following morning at 9.30.
In the morning the same four [Ogilvy, Borthwick, Lindsay, and the
Rothesay herald] formed the escort. Rept. also in Sadler, Letters,
