Christian Lindsay was a Scottish poet and baker to the king.
In 1586 Christian Lindsay married to William Murray, Master of the carriage, to James VI of Scotland. In early modern Scotland married women did not change their surnames. Murray's responsibility was the transport of the king and queen's luggage and furnishings by cart as they moved from palace to palace.
A sonnet titled "Christeane Lyndesay to Robert Hudsone" is included in Alexander Montgomerie's poems. It may be Lindsay's work or possibly Montgomerie wrote the sonnet in her voice. It is also uncertain if the Christian Lindsay mentioned in connection with this and in other poems was the same person as the wife of William Murray.
Robert, or "Robene" Hudson, to whom the sonnet is addressed, was an English poet and musician at court, a brother of Thomas Hudson.
