Scottish reformer George Wishart, who may have graduated M.A., probably at King's College, Aberdeen, and was certainly a student at the University of Leuven, from which he graduated in 1531, had taught the New Testament in Greek as schoolmaster at Montrose, until investigated in 1538 for heresy by the Bishop of Brechin.

He had fled to England, where Thomas Cromwell had brought a similar charge against him at Bristol in the following year.

Under examination by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, he had recanted some utterances.

He may have visited Germany and Switzerland in 1539 or 1540, but by 1542 he had had entered Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he studied and taught.

He returns to Scotland in 1543 in the train of a Scottish embassy that had come to London to consider the treaty of marriage between Prince Edward and the infant Mary, Queen of Scots.

He returns to Montrose, where again he teaches Scripture.
