 History of the Burgh of Dumfries - Chapter XXII
He thus became the fourth Lord Herries, and was the first of the Maxwell family that bore the title.
Lord Herries was, in spite of these artful declarations, still a partisan of the deposed Queen, and plotting with others for her deliverance; and much of the antipathy shown by the people of Dumfries to the Regent Murray may be traced to his influence in the town.
Both Lord Herries and Lord Maxwell were present; and it is said that the former, while taking an active part in the fight, wounded one of the Protestant leaders, Lord Ochiltree, in the neck.

On the 16th she embarked in an open fishing-boat, with Herries and some eighteen or twenty other "persons" - they are not called attendants - and landed onthe same day to Workington, in Cumberland.
