• Notes

  He was among the first of the Scots' nobility who concurred with the Scottish Reformation. By 1540, Cunningham (then Lord Kilmaurs) was associated with the cause of reform, writing a satirical poem about the Grey Friars, which was later reprinted by Knox in his "History of the Reformation."
