Note 119 — Chapter I · CAMPAIGN OF CHARLES I AGAINST SCOTLAND.
Reading edition
The pass given to Lesley by Charles I extends over a year (May 1637-38). In a Venetian report of April 1638 it is stated that Lesley had taken leave of the King in order to go to Scotland and from thence to Pomerania into the Swedish service. In that case Rothes must have induced him to remain behind.
