Martin Schöner

On 22 July 1597 he was appointed "Master Medicinar" to Anne of Denmark, with a salary of £400 Scots, for a role he had performed for the previous three years, having been "ready day and night to attend upon that his office and service".

[9] According to the lawyer, Thomas Hamilton, who was at the castle, the queen told Dr Martin, Margaret Seton, Lady Paisley, and others that she had taken "some balm water that hastened her abort.

[12] Alexander Seton, the queen's legal adviser, went to Stirling, and later described how the "best expedient was to comfort and encourage her majesty, to give her good heart; in sum, physick and medicine requireth then a greater place, than economic or politic".

[14] As Lord Chancellor of Scotland, he made efforts to calm the controversy and help set Anne of Denmark on her way to England in June.

[16] According to the French ambassador, the Marquess of Sully, when the Queen travelled to London, she "brought with her the body of the male child of which she had been delivered in Scotland, because endeavours had been used to persuade the public, that its death was only feigned".

[20] On 24 April 1604 with Lancelot Browne he recommended the waters at Spa in Belgium to Henry Jerningham senior of Costessey for "all such griefs as he does complain of, namely the rheum, vertigo, convulsions, palsye, melancholia, hypochondriaca, obstructions, and the stone".

[24] In 1607 King James asked the Earl of Dunbar to write to Lord Carew, the Queen's Vice-Chamberlain, to summon Schöner to attend the ailing infant Princess Mary.

[27] At the baptism of one of his children on 30 January 1610, he was given a gift of £4 by David Murray of Gorthy, the keeper of the Privy Purse of Prince Henry.

[28] Schöner was naturalized as an English citizen in July 1610 at the same time as other members of the queen's household; Dorothea Silking and her sister "Engella Seelken" from Gustrow, Katherine Benneken from Garlstorf, the apothecary John Wolfgang Rumler from Augsburg and his wife Anna de l'Obel from Middelburg, a daughter of Matthias de l'Obel.

[32] His first wife was Lucretia or Lucres Betoun, said to be a daughter of the laird of "Cassgoure" or "Carsgonny" now called "Carsegownie" in the Parish of Aberlemno and Catherine Ogilvy.

[38] Their children included; Christian Gibsoun subsequently married Sir Robert Dennistoun or Danielstoun of Mountjoy, Conservator of Scottish Privileges in the Low Countries at Veere, and paid for his monument in Greyfriars Kirkyard.
