Thomas de Barry

Thomas de Barry (fl. 1560), was canon of Glasgow, and chief magistrate of Bothwell.

He wrote a poem on the Battle of Otterburn, the greater part of which is quoted in the eighteenth century editions of Fordun's โ€˜Scotichronicon.โ€™ According to Dempster he flourished in 1560, and in all likelihood he is identical with the Thomas de Barry, presbyter, whose name appears as notary in a document preserved in the 'Registrum Episcopatus Glasguensis' in 1503.
