The death of Cardinal Beaton (1494 – 1546), Archbishop of St Andrews and the last Scottish Cardinal prior to the Reformation. He was mutilated and hung from a castle window - his death was in the interests of Henry VIII of England, who regarded Beaton as the chief obstacle to his policy in Scotland.
