Excerpt from Geoffrey Chaucer's Influence on English Literature: Inaugural Dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Presented to the Philosophical Faculty (I. Section) Of the University of Zurich Gawain douglas was born 1474 (or 1475) as the third son of Archibald Douglas, fifth Earl of Angus. Being a younger son he was destined for an ecclesiastical career; received his education - at St. Andrew's University, and was appointed rector of Hawick (roxburghshire); in 1501 he was made provost of St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, and in 1515 Bishop of Dunkeld. In consequence of the political troubles, he found it advisable to leave his country in 1521. At the court Of Henry VIII he was well received and even granted a pension. The plague which raged in London in 1522 carried him Off in the prime of life. 1) His literary activity, according to Schipper, falls in the years of his rectorship (hawick) and provostship (st. Giles', Edinburgh). Only four of his works have come down to us: a small satirical poem conscience, king Hart, the Palice of Honour and a translation of Virgil's Aeneid.
