SPENS, THOMAS DE (c. 141 1480)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 639 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SPENS, THOMAS DE (c. 141 1480) , Scottish statesman and
prelate
 , received his education at Edinburgh, and by his exceptional abilities attracted the notice of the advisers of the Scottish king, James II., who sent him on errands to England and to France. About 1450 he became
bishop
  of Galloway; soon after-wards he was made keeper of the privy seal, and in 1459 he was chosen
bishop
  of Aberdeen. Much of his time, however, was passed in journeys to France and to England, and in 1464 he
and Alexander Stewart, duke of Albany, a son of James II., were captured at sea by some English sailors.
Edward
  IV., to whom the bishop had previously revealed an assassination
plot
 , set him at liberty, and he was partly responsible for the treaty of peace made about this time between the English king and James III. He also helped to bring about the
meeting
  between
Edward
  IV. and Louis XI. of France at Picquicny, and another treaty of peace between England and
Scotland
  in 1474.
Spens
  was a frequent attender at the Scottish parliaments, and contributed very generously to the decoration of his
cathedral
  at Aberdeen. He died in Edinburgh on the 14th of April 1480.
