[[Returning]] from Paris with the earl, he was made tutor to the natural son of James V. Two satires, Palinodia and Franciscanus, which he wrote on the monks, soon drew down their vengeance upon him, and he was imprisoned, but was fortunate enough to escape.

When subsequently reproached with having made his royal pupil a pedant, Buchanan is said to have replied that "it was the best he could make of him." Buchanan died poor, in 1582. His principal work is Historia Rerum Scoticarum (Edinb. 1582, fol.; in English, Lond. 1690, fol.). As a Latin poet, he ranks among the highest of the modern, especially for his version of the Psalms. All his writings are given in [[Opera]] omnia, historica, etc., curante Ruddimanno (Edinb. 1715, 2 vols. 4to); another complete edition was published by Burman (Lugd. Bat. 1725, 2 vols.). </p>
