* February – Henry Balnaves, Scottish politician and religious reformer ( b. 1512 )

Among their friends was Henry Balnaves, a former secretary of state in the government, who negotiated with England for the financial support of the rebels.

The nobles, some of whom would have an impact later in Knox's life such as William Kirkcaldy and Henry Balnaves, were sent to various castle-prisons in France.

He returned to Edinburgh telling Croft he had to return to his flock, and suggested that Henry Balnaves should go to Cecil.

But Beton " loved him worst of all ," and, when Arran went over to the priestly party, Balnaves was, in November 1543, deprived of his offices and imprisoned in Blackness Castle.

When that castle surrendered to the French in July, Balnaves was taken prisoner to Rouen.

Balnaves also busied himself in writing what Knox calls " a comfortable treatise of justification ," which was found in manuscript at the house of John Cockburn of Ormiston by Knox's secretary Richard Bannatyne and published at Edinburgh in 1584 under the title The Confession of Faith.

In August 1555, Balnaves wrote to Mary of Guise from Paris.

She had become Regent of Scotland, and Balnaves offered to support her regime with secret legal advice regarding crown incomes.

In February 1557 Balnaves was permitted to return to Scotland and regain his property ; probably it was thought that Queen Mary's burnings would have cooled the ardour of his English affections, and that in the war threatening between two Catholic countries, Balnaves would serve his own.

Balnaves was surprised to meet the young Earl of Arran there.

Elizabeth wrote to thank Sir Ralph Sadler and Sir James Croft, Captain of Berwick, personally for their good and diligent service in meeting Balnaves.

Arran went first to the castle of Berwick-upon-Tweed and met the Scottish reformer, Henry Balnaves of Halhill.

A list of the council for policy of the Lords of October 1559 includes ; the former Regent Arran ; his son the 3rd Earl of Arran ; the Earl of Argyll ; the Prior of St Andrews ; the Earl of Glencairn ; Lord Ruthven ; Robert, 4th Lord Boyd ; Lord Maxwell ; Erskine of Dun ; Wishart of Pitarrow ; Henry Balnaves of Halhill ; Kirkcaldy of Grange ; and James Halyburton Provost of Dundee.

Having been adopted as his heir by the reformer Henry Balnaves, he inherited from him, at his death in 1579, the estate of Halhill in Fife ; and he retired there in 1603, refusing the request of James to accompany him to London on his accession to the English throne.
