  45. The Historie of King James the Sext gives a precise date of 15 September 1577; other accounts give 4 March 1578. It is possible that the earlier date is correct, but the later date allows for a more dramatic story; or that chroniclers have confused two incidents. Other accounts have Morton writing to James rather than visiting him.
