Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Earls and Earldoms of Scotland The substance of this volume originally appeared in the columns of the "Aberdeen Weekly Journal," but it has been carefully revised and important additions made. From the variety of matter, and number of personages treated in the work, it may be interesting to a wide circle of readers. I have not deemed it necessary to burden the pages of this volume with a multiplicity of references and foot-notes, as the original sources of information are often indicated in the text itself. It may be well, however, to state that I have long been familiar with the national records of Scotland, such as the "Scots Acts of Parliament," "Exchequer Rolls," "Register of the Great Seal," "Register of the Privy Council," "National Manuscripts," "Burgh Records," and many other registers and important historic records too tedious to mention. Touching the sources of information more specially relating to this volume, I have consulted the family histories, charters, and papers, connected with the families treated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From James Earl of Perth, Lord Chancellor of Scotland, &C: To His Sister, the Countess of Errol, and Other Members of His Family Of the line and clan Drummond, it would be beyond the purpose of a few introductory remarks like the present to enter into a long genealogical history. Suffice it to say, that tradition carries them far back, and that they figure among the dim scenes of Scottish story, where even the most prominent images are seen in a very shadowy and uncertain light: for their founder, a Hungarian leader, came in with Edgar Atheling; and the De Dromonds of Cargill and Stobhall were the ancestors of those ennobled by the title of Perth.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Historic Families of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 F orfar was created for a youthful scion of the Douglas family, whose life, if it had been prolonged, might have saved the dukedom from extinction. He fell fighting under the royal banner at Sheriff muir, having received no fewer than sixteen broadsword wounds besides a pistol shot in his knee. The earldom of Stirling, conferred in 1633 on Sir William Alexander, an eminent statesman and poet, became dormant on the death without issue of Henry, fifth earl, in 1739, and none of the claims which have been preferred to the title have as yet been made good. Among the dormant but not extinct peerages is the barony of Somerville, the title of an ancient and at one time powerful Border family, which has not been claimed since 1 870. The barony of Cranstoun, also celebrated in ballads, tradition, and story since the fifteenth century, became dormant on the death of the eleventh Lord Cranstoun in 1869. Heirs of both dignities are, however, believed to be in existence. The last representative of the Bauld Rutherfords, ' Earls of Teviot and Barons Rutherford who bore a conspicuous part in Border forays, was the prototype of the Master of Ravenswood in Sir Walter Scott's tragic tale of the Bride of Lammermoor.' He died on the Continent without issue in 1724. The earldom of Newark, which was conferred on the celebrated Covenanting General David Leslie, who contributed to the victory of the Parliamentary army at Marston Moor, and defeated the great Marquis of Montrose at Philiphaugh, became extinct on the death of his son, the second lord, in 1694.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Scots Earl, in Covenanting Times: Being, Life and Times of Archibald, 9th Earl of Argyll (1629-1685) God of our fathers! What is man, That Thou, towards him, with hand so various, Or might I say contrarious, Temper'st Thy providence through his short course, Not evenly, as Thou rulest The angelic orders, and inferior creatures mute, Irrational and brute? Nor do I name of men the common rout, That, wandering loose about, Grow up and perish, as the summer fly, Heads without name, no more remember'd; But such as Thou hast solemnly elected, With gifts and graces eminently adorn'd, To some great work, Thy glory, And people's safety, which in part they effect; Yet toward these, thus dignified, Thou oft, Amidst their height of noon, Changest Thy countenance, and Thy hand, with no regard Of highest favours past From Thee on them, or them to Thee of service. Milton: Samson Agonistes. Si magnus vir cecidit, magnus jacuit. Non magis ilium contemni, quam cum aedium sacrarum ruinae calcantur, quas religiosi aeque ac stantes adorant. (Seneca, De Consolatione, Chapter XIII). Non tamcn pigebit vel incondita ac rudi voce memoriam prioris servitutis ac testimonium praesentium bonorum composuisse. (Tacitus, Julii Agricolae Vita).

Download or read book The Northern Earldoms written by Barbara E. Crawford and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval earldoms of Orkney and Caithness were positioned between two worlds, the Norwegian and the Scottish. They were a maritime lordship divided, or united, by the turbulent waters of the Pentland Firth. This unlikely combination of island and mainland territory survived as a single lordship for 600 years, against the odds. Growing out of the Viking maelstrom of the early Middle Ages, it became an established and wealthy principality which dominated northern waters, with a renowned dynasty of earls. Despite their peripheral location these earls were fully in touch with the kingdoms of Norway and Scotland and increasingly subject to the rulers of these kingdoms. How they maintained their independence and how they survived the clash of loyalties are themes explored in this book from the early Viking age to the late medieval era when the powerful feudal Sinclair earls ruled the islands and regained possession of Caithness. This is a story of the time when the Northern Isles of Scotland were part of a different national entity which explains the background to the non-Gaelic culture of this locality, when links across the North Sea were as important as links with the kingdom of Scotland to the south.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Dignities in the Peerage of Scotland The limitations contained in Letters Patent or Charters creating Scottish Titles of Honour vary so much, and special destinations are so numerous, that few of the Dignities in the Peerage of Scotland which appear at the present time to be either dormant through non-claim, or to be suspended in consequence of attainders for High Treason, can be in truth extinct. It has, therefore, been thought that short accounts of such Dignities might prove interesting. In England claims to Baronies in abeyance, created by Writ of Summons to and sitting in Parliament, which are descendible to heirs general, are not un frequent, though necessarily limited in number: but Claims to titles above the rank of a Barony, can for the most part only arise on questions of disputed succession, or, as in the Devon and Wiltes cases, upon the construe tion to be placed upon limitations in Letters Patent, other than to heirs male of the body, or upon the validity of the destinations of the Peerage as limited in the Letters Patent, as in the Buckhurst case, or upon the question whether the Letters Patent confer a right to a seat in the House of Lords, as in the Wensleydale case but in Scotland, where any Peer may impeach the title of another at the election of Representative Peers, and where the destinations of Dignities are so various, and before the Union were so constantly altered on the application of the Peer in possession, the heirs, whether heirs male, of line or provision, substitute or general.
