Note 314 — Chapter V · SUMMARY.
Reading edition
The Complaint of the Papingo was written in 1529. Sir David Lindsay employed the leisure with which Queen Margaret had most ungratefully furnished him, by composing a series of naïve and charming reminiscences of the young King’s infancy and youth, which awoke all James’s affections, and caused the recall of his early friend to public life, by crowning him Lion King-at-arms in 1530.—Tytler’s Life of Sir David Lindsay.
