Paul de Thermes

[1] De Thermes began the construction of an artillery fort at Luffness near Aberlady to prevent English supplies reaching Haddington.

[3] On 4 July another proclamation responded to a scare that English forces had entered Scotland to supply Haddington and destroy the new fort.

[6] An English officer, Thomas Holcroft, wrote to Lord Protector Somerset that they should burn the town of Peebles to welcome de Termes.

De Termes planned to have troops at Elveston and Ormiston near the English-garrisoned town of Haddington, at Dunbar, Luffness, and Musselburgh.

"[8] De Thermes led the successful assault on the English fort at Broughty Castle on Wednesday 6 February 1550.
