A Scotch poet; born in Perth (?), 1474 (?); died in London, September 1522. He lived "a man of peace amid resounding arms"; writing "The Palice of Honour" (1553) while a cloistered youth, and "King Hart", an allegory of the state of man, after he had become famed as a churchman, translating also all of the "Aeneid". Heroic in figure and in strain, he towers among his country's ancient bards.
