Notes

!SOURCE: Rev. Thomas Whyte, AN HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL ACOCUNT OF THE BETHUNES OF THE ISLAND OF SKYE, Edinburgh, 1778, reprinted London, 1893, by Alfred A. Bethune-Baker, reprinted by ScotsPress, p. 7. Archibald Bethune of Pitlochy and Coppeldrie or Capeldray in Fife, fifth son of John Bethune fifth laird of Balfour of that sirname, by Marjory thrid daughter of David Boswel of Balmuto, chief of the Boswels, who was of the tenth generation of the family, was present, according to the chartulary of Glasgow, with Cardinal Bethune at Dumfries, November 27, 1539, when a solemn protestation ws made against his exercising the sacre function, as Archbishop of St. Andrews, within the diocese of Glasgow. He is mentioned as a witness of this protestation along with Hugh Lord Somerveile, and his cousin Robert Bethune of Creich. "Coram his testibus, nobili et potenti Domino Hugoni Domino de Somerveile, Roberto Betoun de Creich, Archibaldo Betoun de Capeldra." The solemnity of the protestation, the grandeur and pomp of his nephew the Cardinal, and the multiplicity of his preferments, appear abundantly from the following words: "Joannes Turner," -- who acted as Public Notary on the occasion, -- "advenit ad personalem praesentiam Rmi. in Christo Patris, et Domini David miseratione divina tituli Sti. Stephani in Coelio monte, S.R.E. presbyteri Cardinalis, Sanctae Andreae Archepiscopi, totius regni Scotiae Primatis, et Apostolicae sedis legati nati, necnon Mirapitensis ecclesiae in Gallia administratoris, ac commendatorii perpetui monasterii de Aberbrothock."
