Throgmorton. SIR NICHOLAS (1513-71), distinguished himself at the battle of Pinkie, was Queen Elizabeth's ambassador in France, where he was imprisoned as having sided with the Huguenots, and was repeatedly ambassador to Scotland in the troublous period 1561-67. In 1569 he was sent to the Tower for a time as being concerned in the scheme for marrying Mary Queen of Scots to the Duke of Norfolk.
