Richard Maitland
Sir Richard Maitland, Lord Lethington (1496‑March 20, 1586), poet, father of Maitland of Lethington, Secretary of State to Mary Queen of Scots. In his later years he was blind, and occupied himself in composing a History of the House of Seaton , and by writing poems, e.g., On the New Year , On the Queene's Maryage , etc. He held various offices, chiefly legal, but appears to have kept as far as possible out of the fierce political struggles of his time, and to have been a genially satirical humorist.
