Gavin Douglas
Gavin Douglas (c. 1474 – September 1522) was a Scottish bishop,
makar and translator. Although he had an important political career, he is chiefly remembered for his poetry. His main pioneering achievement was the ''
Eneados'', a full and faithful vernacular translation of the ''
Aeneid'' of Virgil into
Scots, and the first successful example of its kind in any
Anglic language. Other extant poetry of his includes ''Palice of Honour'', and possibly ''King Hart''.
