  Marriage Notes:

"As a further indication of the standing of the Lauders at this time, in a secretive letter to the Lord Treasurer and Sir Francis Walsingham dated 7th February 1589 there is a reference to 'the Duke' who has 'departed to the marriage in [Leven] Fife of young Bass [George Lauder of The Bass], where [Francis Stewart, Earl of] Bothwell is also supposed to be.' It is also said that as a result of this event 'Edinburgh is left with few [Privy] Counsellors.' (Refer: Calendar of Scottish Papers 1547 - 1603, edited by William K. Boyd & Henry W. Meikle, Edinburgh, 1936, p.842.)"
