William Maitland was at the heart of the Reformation in Scotland, and was a convinced reformer himself, but served a Catholic Regent and a Catholic Queen. This created many tensions in a world where religious conformity was regarded by all as an essential part of the political structure.
William Maitland of Lethington was a man of great wit and learning from a well-connected, but not noble, Scottish family. He had been educated at St. Andrews and the French Court. His loyalties were not based on any strong religious conviction, but Knox converted him to be a Reformer in 1556.
