This appears to have been part of the intriguing that followed Margaret's marriage to the Earl of Angus in 1514. According to the "biographical introduction" in
Small's edition of the poetical works (the only source I happen to have at hand), Angus had
James Beaton, the Lord Chancellor and Keeper of the Great Seal, arrested and the seal delivered into G.D.'s custody. The Lords of Council immediately ordered that the seal be returned to Beaton "because the samyn was taken fra him unorderlie." Nevertheless, there seems to have been a period of a couple of months (September–November 1514) in which G.D. styled himself Cancellarius (Chancellor) and presumably retained the seal. I notice that he doesn't appear in the list in
Lord Chancellor of Scotland, though. Things were obviously rather unsettled at the time.
