Abstract
The participation of representatives of the clergy in government in the Middle Ages and early modern times has long attracted the attention of scholars. However, it is mainly representatives of the episcopate and their participation in central government, court politics and diplomatic missions that have come under the spotlight. The career of Thomas Magnus, a clergyman who never held the bishopric but played a key role in the administration of the Scottish border counties for several decades, provides a better picture of both royal policy in the Anglo-Scottish borderlands and the use of clerics in the royal service under the early Tudors.
