Франциск II
This John Elder seems to be the Scot described by Nicholas Throckmorton at the coronation of Francis II of France(or was it more surely ARTHUR LALLART). Throckmorton wrote on 19 September 1559 that Elder had described the policy of Edmund Bonner Bishop of London and Cardinal Pole in the time of Mary I of England to Charles, Cardinal of Lorraine. He added that Elder was "as great a praticer, and as dangerous for the matters of England, as any that I know." Throckmorton advised Elizabeth to have Elder's English acquaintance watched.
