unusual facts about Alexander Forbes, 1st Lord Forbes



Alexander Forbes, 1st Lord Forbes

Alexander de Forbes fought at the Battle of Harlaw in 1411, and appears among the Scottish forces sent to the assistance of Charles, Dauphin of France, afterwards King Charles VII, and had a share in the victory obtained over the English at Beaugé, in Anjou, on 22 March 1424.

What apparently gave rise to these accusations were the amicable relations established, principally through correspondence, between Victor de Buck and such men as Alexander Forbes, the learned Anglican bishop, and the celebrated Edward Pusey in England, Montalembert, and Bishop Félix Dupanloup in France and a number of others whose names were distasteful to many ardent Catholics.
