Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARCLAY, WILLIAM (15461608) Scottish jurist, was born in Aberdeenshire in 1546. Educated at Aberdeen University, he went to France in 1573, and studied law under Cujas, at Bourges, where he took his
doctor
 's degree. Charles III., duke of
Lorraine
 , appointed him professor of civil law in the newly - founded university of Pont-a-Mousson, and also created him counsellor of state and master of requests. In 1603, however, he was obliged to quit France, having incurred the enmity of the
Jesuits
 , through his opposition to their proposal to admit his son John (q.v.) a member of their society. Returning to England, he was offered considerable preferment by King James on
condition
  of becoming a member of the
Church
  of England. This offer he refused, and returned to France in 1604, when he was appointed professor of civil law in the university of Angers: He died at Angers in 16o8. His
principal
  works were De Regno et Regale Potestate, &c. (Paris, 'boo), a strenuous defence of the rights of kings, in which he refutes the doctrines of George Buchanan, " Junius Brutus " (Hubert Languet) and Jean
Boucher
 ; and De Potestate Papae, &c. (London, 1609), in opposition to the usurpation of temporal
powers
  by the
pope
 , which called forth the celebrated reply of Cardinal
Bellarmine
 ; also commentaries on some of the titles of the Pandects.
