The peerage of Scotland: containing an historical and genealogical account of the nobility of that kingdom, ... collected from the public records, and ancient chartularies of this nation, ... Illustrated with copper-plates. By Robert Douglas, Esq;.

DRUMMOND Earl of PERTH.

THE family of Drummond has been al∣ways ranked amongst the most ancient and illustrious names of the Scotch nation, highly distinguished by a long train of worthy ancestors, no less remarkable for the noble al∣liances they made, and the dignities conferred upon them, than for personal merit.

They have the honour to be several times sprung from the royal house of Stewart, and can boast what few subjects can do,* 1.1 That most of the crowned heads in Europe are descend∣ed from them, as will clearly appear by the following memoirs.

The traditional account of their origin, handed down to us by several good histori∣ans, is,

I. That an Hungarian gentleman named MAURICIUS, or MAURICE, a son of George, a younger son of Andrew, king of Hungary, had the command of the ship in which Ed∣gar Atheline, the rightful heir to the English crown, his mother Agatha, and his sisters, the princesses Margaret and Christian, were em∣barked, in their return from England to Hun∣gary. They were overtaken by a storm, driven on the coast of Scotland, and landed in the frith of Forth, at a place which to this day retains the name of St. Margaret's Hope, so called after princess Margaret, who became queen to king Malcolm III. called Canmore, and is well known by the name of St. Mar∣garet.

This Maurice being a man of parts and merit, was highly esteemed by king Malcolm, who, to induce him to settle in Scotland, con∣ferred many favours upon him, and gave him considerable possessions in the shires of Dun∣barton

and Stirling, particularly the lands of Roseneath, Cardross, Auchindown, the lands and parish of Drymen or Drummond, which last afterwards became the chief title and sir∣name of the family. He also made him sene∣scal or steward of Lennox, and assigned him for his armorial bearing three bars wavy, or undy, gules, in memory of his having been the happy conductor of her majesty's safe landing in Scotland.

The queen also bestowed some marks of her esteem upon him, and, for his good ser∣vices, gave him one of her maids of honour in marriage. By her he had a son named,

II. MALCOLM, of whom all the Drum∣monds in Scotland are descended.

He left issue a son,

III. MAURICE, who succeeded him, and was father of

IV. JOHN, his heir, who had a son and successor,

V. Sir MALCOLM DRYMEN, or DRUM∣MOND, &c.

Thus our historians have deduced their de∣scent,* 1.2 without mentioning their marriages.

The following succession is attested by in∣disputable documents.

This sir Malcolm flourished in the reign of king William, who succeeded to the crown of Scotland, anno 1165, and died in 1214.

He left issue two sons.

1. Malcolm Beg Drummond, his heir.

2. Roderick Drummond, who, in an inqui∣sition on the division of some lands in Dun∣barton-shire,* 1.3 is designed brother of Malcolm Beg, &c. anno 1234.

He was succeeded by his eldest son,

VI. MALCOLM de DRUMMOND, who, on account of his low stature, was called Beg, which, in the old Galick language, signifies short.

Though this Malcolm is the first of the fa∣mily for whom we have any written docu∣ments, the situation in which we find him seems to be a strong confirmation of the tra∣ditional account already narrated. He is in pos∣session of all the lands said to have been given to his predecessors by Malcolm Canmore, is in high reputation in Scotland, and married a lady of the very first distinction for birth and for∣tune, Ada, daughter of M••ddwin third earl of Lennox, by Beatrix his spouse, daughter of Walter lord high steward of Scotland. Cir∣cumstances, so distinguished, could only agree with a person descended of ancestors, whose rank and consequence were established in the nation.

In a charter from Maldwin earl of Lennox, to Humphry de Kilpatrick, of the lands of Colquhoun, Walter, lord high stewart of Scotland, and Malcolm Beg Drummond, de∣signed by the earl,* 1.4 camerarius meus, &c. are witnesses, anno 1225.

By an inquisition at the division of some lands in Dunbarton-shire, he appears to have sold off the lands and barony of Kinnearn,* 1.5 in 1234, to which his brother Roderick Drum∣mond is a witness, as before observed.

In a charter by the same earl Maldwin, of a donation of the church lands of Kirkpa∣trick, to the monastery of Paisley,* 1.6 Amalec, the earl's brother, Malcolm Beg Drummond, &c. are witnesses, anno 1238.

Also in another donation by the same earl, of the church of Roseneath to the said mona∣stery, Walter son of Alan, lord high steward of Scotland, Malcolm Beg Drummond,* 1.7 &c. are witnesses. This deed has no date; but was confirmed by king Alexander II. who di∣ed in 1249, so must have been made before that year.

He is witness also to another donation by earl Maldwin to the monastery of Arbroath,* 1.8 confirmed by the said king Alexander II. ante 1249.

By Ada his wife, he had two sons.

1. Malcolm, his heir.

2. John, who is witness in a charter of the same Maldwin, earl of Lennox, Donaldo filio Macynel, &c. wherein he is designed John Drummond,* 1.9 son of Malcolm Beg. This charter has no date; but earl Maldwin died in the beginning of the reign of king Alex∣ander III. who succeeded to the crown, anno 1249; however, we can trace this John no further.

Malcolm Beg died before the year 1260, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

VII. MALCOLM DRUMMOND, dominus de eodem,* 1.10 or lord of that ilk, who, in a char∣ter of Malcolm, ••ourth earl of Lennox, is de∣signed son of Malcolm Beg Drummond, and steward or senescal of Lennox, anno 1260.

He is witness in a donation by earl Mal∣colm to the monastery of Paisley,* 1.11 dated at Renfiew, anno 1273; also to several other charters and donations of the same earl, in 1274 and 1275.

He had vast possessions in lands, as appears from the considerable estates in different coun∣ties, which he gave to his younger children.

He left issue three sons.

1. John, his heir.

2. Gilbert de Drummond, who is menti∣oned

in several charters of the earl of Lennox, and is designed filius Malcolmi,* 1.12 &c. inter 1280 et 1290. He was also forced to swear fealty to king Edward I.* 1.13 of England, anno 2296. He obtained from his father a grant of several lands, particularly the barony of Bal∣quhaple,* 1.14 &c. and had issue a son, Malcolmus de Drummond.

3. Thomas Drummond, who got from his father the lands of Balfrone in Perth-shire, and made a donation of the patronage of the church thereof to the abbacy of Inchaffry, which was confirmed by the pope's bull,* 1.15 in 1305.

He was succeeded by his eldest son,

VIII. Sir JOHN DRUMMOND, dominus de eodem, who, in many writs, is designed filius Malcolmi, &c.

He was a man of great parts, and a stre∣nuous defender of the liberties of his country; and though compelled to swear allegiance to king Edward I. when he had over-run Scot∣land,* 1.16 anno 1296, yet we find him carried pri∣soner to England by the same prince, for his adhering to the Brucian interest, anno 1297.

However, he soon afterwards obtained li∣berty to return to Scotland, upon his finding bail to come back to England, with horses, arms,* 1.17 &c. to assist king Edward in his wars against France.

He married a daughter of Walter Stewart earl of Menteith, brother of Alexander, great steward of Scotland, by whom he had three sons, and two daughters.

1. Sir Malcolm, his heir.

2. Gilbert de Drummond, who is mention∣ed in a ratification by Malcolm fifth earl of Lennox,* 1.18 of the lands and church of Kilpatrick, anno 1330.

3. Walter Drummond, bred to the church, a man of great probity, and a ••ine genius. He is designed clericus domini regis, and was appointed ambassador to treat of a peace with the English,* 1.19 together with William bi∣shop of St. Andrews, Thomas Randolph earl of Murray, &c. &c. anno 1323.

1st daughter, Christian.

2. Margaret. They obtained a charter from Malcolm fourth earl of Lennox, of the lands of Ardcurane,* 1.20 Christianae et Margaretae de Drummond, filiabus domini Johannis de Drummond, &c. anno 1290.

He was succeeded by his eldest son,

IX. Sir MALCOLM DRUMMOND, domi∣nus de eodem. He made a great figure in the reign of king Robert Bruce, to whom he was a firm and steady friend, and immediately af∣ter the battle of Bannockburn, obtained from that great prince, for his good and faithful services,* 1.21 a grant of several lands in Perth∣shire, anno 1315: and perhaps it is no im∣probable conjecture, that the caltrops were then first added by way of copartment to his coat of arms, as they were used on that me∣morable occasion, with great success, against the English horse, and very possibly by the advice or under the direction of sir Malcolm.

The year thereafter, in a full parliament, where he sat as one of the barones majores regni, he made a resignation into the king's hands, in favours of sir Malcolm Fleming, fa∣ther of the first earl of Wigton, of his lands and barony of Auchindon in Dunbarton-shire,* 1.22 upon which lord Fleming got a charter under the great seal, confirming the same to him, anno 1316.

He married a daughter of sir Patrick Gra∣ham of Kincardine, ancestor of the duke of Montrose, by whom he had a son and suc∣cessor,

X. Sir MALCOLM DRUMMOND, dominus de eodem, a man of singular worth and merit. He was concerned in all the noble efforts that were made by the loyalists in the mino∣rity of king David Bruce, in defence of the liberties of their country; on which account he suffered many hardships: and about the time that king Edward of England pretended to forfeit that loyal subject the earl of Strathearn, he also gave a grant of several lands belong∣ing to sir Malcolm Drummond,* 1.23 to sir John Clinton of England, because sir Malcolm had been in arms against his lawful sovereign, as Edward designed himself.

He afterwards got a charter from Malise earl of Strathearn, of the lands of Culquhalie, in comitatu suo de Strathearn,* 1.24 wherein he is designed Malcolmus filius Malcolmi Drum∣mond, &c.

We have not been able to discover whom sir Malcolm married, but he left issue three sons.

1. Sir John, his heir.

2. Maurice, ancestor of the Drummonds of Concraig, of whom several considerable families are descended, who make a good fi∣gure in Scotland to this day.

3. Walter,* 1.25 a man of great merit, and in high ••avour with king David II. from whom he got a charter, Waltero Drummond, nostro∣rum rotulorum registro, ac a consiliis, &c.

Sir Malcolm was either slain at the battle of Durham, anno 1346, or died immediately thereafter, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XI. Sir JOHN DRUMMOND, dominus de

eodem, a man of a noble spirit, and highly e∣steemed by king David, who conferred upon him the honour of knighthood.

He maintained a long and troublesome con∣troversy with the house of Menteith, which proved fatal to several of that noble family, but was at last compromised by the king's command, very honourably for sir John. The arbiters were Robert, lord high steward of Scotland, and earl of Strathearn, afterwards king Robert II. the earls of Douglas and An∣gus, sir Walter Murray of Tullibardine, sir Archibald Campbell of Lochow, and sir Colin his son, before the two lords justiciars of Scotland, sir Robert Erskine, and sir Hugh Eglington,* 1.26 who, having met on the banks of the Forth, passed sentence, to which the par∣ties seals are appended, 1st of May 1360.

By this indenture he gives up several of his lands in Dunbarton-shire, on a promise from the king of other lands of greater va∣lue in Perth-shire; and, in consequence of this it was, that he got so large a share of the Montefex estate: for, having married Mary, eldest daughter and co-heiress of sir William de Montesex, justiciar of Scotland, and head or chief of a great and most antient family, with her he got the lands and baronies of Cargill, Stobhall, Kincardin, Auchterarder, &c. whereby he became one of the most o∣pulent subjects in the kingdom, and from this aera the residence and designation of the fa∣mily were both changed.* 1.27

By her he had issue four sons, and four daughters.

1. Sir Malcolm, his heir.

2. Sir John, who carried on the line of this family.

3. William, who married Elizabeth, one of the daughters and co-heiresses of sir William Airth of that ilk, with whom he got the lands of Carnock, &c. and of him the Drum∣monds of Carnock, Hawthornden, &c. are descended.

4. Dougal Drummond, who was bishop of Dunblain, but died soon after he was conse∣crated.

1st daughter, Annabella, a lady of the most exquisite beauty, and most distinguished me∣rit, who had the honour of being married to Robert third king of Scotland. Cambden, in his account of Strathearn, takes notice of this marriage, and has these remarkable words;

"The women of the family of Drummond,* 1.28 for charming beauty and complexion, are beyond all others, in so much that they have been most delighted in by the kings, &c."

It was certainly so with regard to Annabella; and all our historians agree, that the beauties of her mind were superior to those of her body, and that she was the grace and dignity of that court of which she was queen, according to these words of another author,* 1.29

"Ab regina incolumis aulae dignitas est sustentata."

By him she was mother of king James I. who, besides his son, king James II. had six daughters, four whereof were married to foreign princes.

Sir John Drummond's second daughter, Margaret, married to sir Colin Campbell, lord of Lochow, ancestor of the duke of Ar∣gyle.

3. Jean, married to—Stewart, lord of Dowallie.

4. Mary, married to—MacDonald, lord of the Isles.

He was succeeded by his eldest son,

XII. Sir MALCOLM DRUMMOND, lord of that ilk. As he was a man of the highest rank and distinguished merit, he obtained in marriage a lady of the first quality, and the greatest fortune in the kingdom, viz. lady Isabel Douglas, only daughter of William first earl of Douglas,* 1.30 by lady Margaret his first la∣dy, daughter of Donald earl of Marr.

Which lady Isabel, after the death of her brother Thomas, in her own right, became countess of Marr, and sir Malcolm was ever after designed dominus de Marr.

In the year 1385, the king of France sent 40,000 franks to be divided amongst his faithful allies the Scots,* 1.31 of which sir Malcolm got 400 l. sterling.

He was a man of remarkable courage and fortitude. He accompanied his brother-in-law, James earl of Douglas, to the battle of Otterburn in 1388; and sir Malcolm, in re∣compence of his gallant behaviour on that oc∣casion, got a charter from king Robert III. dilecto fratri suo Malcolmo de-Drummond,* 1.32 do∣mino de Marr, of an annuity of 20 l. out of the customs of Inverness, in satifaction to him of his third part of the ransom of sir Ralph Percy, he having greatly contributed to the taking of that gentleman prisoner.

This great man dying without issue, anno 1400, the earldom of Marr remained with his lady, the countess and heiress thereof, but he was succeeded in his own great and opu∣lent estate by his brother,

XII. Sir JOHN DRUMMOND, promiscu∣ously designed of Cargill and Stobhall. He was one of the greatest men of his time, and was justiciar of Scotland, while his elder bro∣ther was alive. This appears by his pro∣nouncing sentence in a very remarkable case, viz. sir Alexander Moray of Abercairny and Ogilvie, having accidentally, and without any

premeditated design,* 1.33 slain a gentleman of the name of Spalding, he pled his privilege of his being nearly allied to the clan MacDuff, and having proven his propinquity, was assoilzied by sir John Drummond, at a court of justici∣ary held at Foulis, 10th May 1391.

It does not appear that he meddled in court affairs during the administration of the dukes of Albany; but when the ambassadors for negotiating king James his liberty were ap∣pointed, he was one of those delegated to meet his majesty, who was his nephew, at Durham,* 1.34 anno 1423, and became one of the hostages for his ransom in 1424.

He married lady Elizabeth Sinclair,* 1.35 daugh∣ter of Henry earl of Orkney, by whom he had three sons and two daughters.

1. Sir Walter, his heir.

2. Robert, who married Barbara, daughter and heiress of sir John Moubray of Barn∣bougle, who thereupon was obliged to change his name to Moubray.

3. John Drummond, who settled in the Madeiras, and was progenitor of several con∣siderable families, who have flourished with lustre in the dominions both of the kings of Spain and Portugal.

1st daughter, Elizabeth, married to sir Ar∣chibald Kinnaird of that ilk, ancestor of lord Kinnaird.

2.—, married to John Lockhart of Bar, in the county of Air.

He died anno 1428, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XIII. Sir WALTER DRUMMOND of that ilk,* 1.36 lord of Cargill and Stobhall, who had the honour of knighthood conferred upon him by king James II.

He married Margaret, daughter of sir Wil∣liam Ruthven of that ilk, heretable sheriff of Perthshire,* 1.37 and ancestor of the earls of Gow∣rie, and by her had three sons.

1. Sir Malcolm, his heir.

2. John Drummond, who was dean of Dunblain.

3. Walter of Liddercrieff, of whom the Drummonds of Blair, Gairdrum, Newton, &c. are descended.

He died anno 1455, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XIV. Sir MALCOLM DRUMMOND, lord of that ilk,* 1.38 &c. who, by his charters under the great seal, appears to have had vast possessions in lands in the counties of Perth, Dunbarton and Stirling.

He married Mariota, daughter of sir Da∣vid Murray,* 1.39 lord of Tullibardin, ancestor of the duke of Athole, by Isabel his wise, daugh∣ter of sir John Stewart, lord Innermeath and Lorn, by whom he had six sons.

1. Sir John, afterwards lord Drummond.

2. Walter Drummond, a man of great parts, who was first rector of St. Andrews, then chancellor of the episcopal see of Dunkeld, dean of Dunblain, and was at last appointed clerk register by king James IV.

3. James, ancestor of the Drummonds of Corrievechter, &c.

4. Thomas, of whom the Drummonds of Innermay, Cultmalindie, Culdees, &c. are descended.

5. William Drummond of Muthil, &c.

6. Andrew Drummond, a clergyman.

Sir Malcolm died anno 1470, and was suc∣ceeded by his eldest son,

XV. Sir JOHN DRUMMOND, lord of that ilk, and Stobhall, a man of extraordinary parts and merit, who made a great figure in the reigns of king James III. and IV. and was concerned in most of the public transactions of his time.

He was appointed one of the lords of sessi∣on, for the administration of justice, anno 1471.

He purchased from sir Maurice Drummond of Concraig,* 1.40 the stewarty and coronership of the earldom of Strathearn, upon which he got a charter under the great seal, anno 1474.

In August 1484, he was, by king James III. appointed one of the ambassadors extraor∣dinary to the court of England; and in No∣vember thereafter, obtained a safe conduct, ad tractandum cum rege Angliae, &c.* 1.41 and a truce was agreed upon to last for three years.

Sir John, having acquitted himself in his negociations, greatly to the satisfaction of his majesty and the whole nation, was, at the next ensuing parliament, raised to the dignity of the peerage by the title of lord Drummond, on the 14th January 1487, according to these words:* 1.42 Quo die dominus Johannes Drummond de Cargill effectus fuit dominus parliamenti, omni tempore futuro nuncupand. dominus Drum∣mond, &c.

He afterwards got a charter under the great seal,* 1.43 Johanni domino Drummond, of several lands, anno 1488.

This noble lord was unhappily engaged with the discontented party,* 1.44 against king James III. after the coronation of James IV. when the earl of Lennox, in the West, in the North, and other parts of the kingdom, the earl marishal, lords Forbes and Lyle, took arms, and justified their rebellion by the pre∣tence of revenging the late king's death. Lord Drummond was sent to stop Lennox's progress, and prevent him from joining his friends and confederates; and finding him

encamped at Tillymoss, a few miles above Stirling, with 2000 men, careless of danger, and dreading no surprise, he attacked his camp in the night, with the greatest intrepidity; the advanced guards were killed, or driven back, confusion and discord spread through e∣very quarter, and the whole body in a very short time, wereall destroyed, taken prisoners, or dispersed by this spirited enterprise, quash∣ing a formidable insurrection in the begin∣ning, giving nerves and strength to the new established government, and peace and quiet to the whole nation.

The lord Drummond was appointed one of the privy council to king James IV. and justiciar of Scotland, anno 1489.

He got many charters under the great seal,* 1.45 Johanni domino Drummond, justiciario Scotiae, inter 1490 et 1500, and was afterwards made justice general of all Scotland.

As he had some time before acquired the lands and barony of Concraig, in Perthshire, from the above designed Maurice Drummond, he obtained a licence, under the great seal, to build a castle and fortalice on these lands,* 1.46 and accordingly built a most noble and stately castle, and gave it the name of Drummond-castle, which hath ever since been one of the chief seats of the family.

He was appointed one of the ambassadors extraordinary to the court of England, anno 1495, and again in 1503, where he is design∣ed justiciarius totius regni Scotiae. He was al∣so one of the Scotch plenipotentiaries to the court of England, anno 1511, and again in 1513; and was one of the Scotch nobility who signs the answer of refusal to the king of England, touching his advice to remove the duke of Albany from the guardianship of the young king,* 1.47 to which his seal is appended, 4th July 1516. This is the last time we find him engaged in any public business.

But we cannot omit here to mention one remarkable occurrence that happened to this great man in his old age, viz. He had given some o••••ence to the duke of Albany, then re∣gent, by promoting the marriage of his grand∣son, the earl of Angus, with Margaret Tudor, the widow of king James IV. The lord lyon king at arms was therefore sent to apprehend him. It seems the lord lyon did not treat him with that respect that he thought his qua∣lity deserved, he therefore gave him a box o' the ear, which was thought a degree of trea∣son, and was made use of as a handle against him by his enemies. In short, he was tried capitally, found guilty, and forfeited, anno 1515;* 1.48 but in the very next parliament, his attainder was repealed, and himself restored to all his estates, honours and dignities, anno 1516.

We have many instances of his acts of pie∣ty, viz. he having acquired the lands of Inch∣affrie, anno 1508, founded there a collegiate church, which he largely endowed with a revenue sufficient for the maintenance of a provost, and several prebends, &c. &c.

He married lady Elizabeth Lindsay,* 1.49 daugh∣ter of David earl of Crawfurd, by whom he had three sons and five daughters.

1. Malcolm, master of Drummond, who died before his father, unmarried.

2. William, master of Drummond, who carried on the line of this family.

3. Sir John Drummond, who got from his father the lands of Innerpeffry, of whom the Drummonds of Innerpeffry, Riccarton, &c. are descended.

1st daughter, Margaret. She was greatly beloved by king James IV. who was contrac∣ted to her, and would have married her, had not his counsellors, and the great men of the state, interposed, and taken her away, to make room for a daughter of England. She bore to his majesty, a daughter, lady Margaret Stewart, married to John lord Gordon, eldest son and apparent heir of Alexander earl of Huntly.

2. Elizabeth Drummond, married to George master of Angus, son and apparent heir of Archibald fifth earl of Angus, to whom she had a numerous issue. Her grand-daughter, lady Margaret Douglas, was mother of Henry lord Darnly, father of king James VI. of whom the kings of Britain, France, Spain, Prussia, the emperor of Germany, &c. &c. are descended.

3. Beatrix Drummond, married to James lord Hamilton and earl of Arran, nephew of king James III.

4. Annabella Drummond, married to Wil∣liam earl of Montrose, ancestor of the duke of Montrose, &c.

5. Eupheme Drummond, married to John lord Fleming, ancestor of the earls of Wig∣ton.

They all had issue.

The lord Drummond died in an advanced age, anno 1519.

XVI. WILLIAM master of Drummond, son and apparent heir of John lord Drum∣mond,* 1.50 married lady Isabel Campbell, daugh∣ter of Colin first earl of Argyle, by whom he had two sons.

1. Walter, also designed master of Drum∣mond.

2. Andrew, ancestor of the Drummonds of Bellyclone.

This William, master of Drummond, was a man of parts and spirit; but being at vari∣ance

with the Murrays, who had openly de∣fied him, and had actually gone, in a forcible manner, to draw teinds on the Drummonds lands in the parish of Monivaird, he marched with his followers in order to prevent them, and being accidentally joined by Duncan Campbell, captain of Dunstaffnage, who had come down from Argyle-shire with a party of his men to revenge the death of his father-in-law, Drummond of Meuie, whom, with his two sons, some of the Murrays had late∣ly killed; upon their approach, the Murrays fled to the kirk of Monivaird for refuge, whi∣ther they were also followed by the Drum∣monds party. The master being satisfied with driving them off the field, was returning home, when a shot, fired from the kirk, unluckily killed one of the Dunstaffnage men, which so enraged the Highlanders, that they immedi∣ately set fire to the kirk,* 1.51 and it being cover∣ed with heather, was soon consumed to ashes, and all within it burnt to death.

The master of Drummond was immediate∣ly apprehended, and sent prisoner to Stirling, where he was tried; and tho' he pled inno∣cence, as having no hand in the burning the church,* 1.52 yet being head of the party, and no favourite at court, he was condemned and ex∣ecuted, anno 1511: However, this variance betwixt the Drummonds and the Murrays was made up soon thereafter.

XVII. WALTER, eldest son of William the master, grandson and apparent heir of John lord Drummond,* 1.53 married lady Eliza∣beth Graham, daughter of William earl of Montrose, and died anno 1518, leaving issue a son,

XVIII. DAVID, who succeeded his great∣grandfather, anno 1519, and was second lord Drummond.* 1.54 He was retoured heir to him, tanquam legitimus et propinquior haeres quondam Johannis domini Drummond, sui proavi, Febru∣ary 17th 1520.

He got no less than eight charters under the great seal,* 1.55 Davidi domino Drummond, of many lands and baronies, inter 1530 et 1540.

He got a new investiture of his whole e∣state, by a charter under the great seal, in which are particularly narrated all his lands, lordships, and baronies, in several different counties,* 1.56

"to and in favours of David lord Drummond, great-grand-son, and heir of the deceast John lord Drummond, and the heirs-male of his body; which failing, to John Drummond of Innerpessry, and the heirs-male of his body; then to Andrew Drummond of Bellyclone; then to Henry Drummond of Riccarron; then to Willi∣am Drummond of—, and the heirs-male of their respective bodies; which all failing, to the said lord David his nearest heirs whatsomever,"

dated in 1542.

He kept himself pretty free of the parties and cabals that were so frequent in the trou∣blesome reign of queen Mary; but when he saw her like to be reduced to great difficul∣ties, he was one of those noble loyalists who entered into a solemn bond of association,* 1.57 to stand by and defend her majesty against all mortals, &c.

He married, 1st, lady Margaret Stewart, daughter of Alexander duke of Albany, se∣cond son of king James II. by whom he had only one daughter,

Sibylla Drummond,* 1.58 married to sir Gilbert Ogilvie of that ilk.

He married,* 1.59 2dly, Lilias, daughter of Wil∣liam, second lord Ruthven, ancestor of the earl of Gowrie, by whom he had two sons and five daughters.

1. Patrick, his heir.

2. James Drummond, created lord Mader∣ty, of whom the viscounts of Strathallan, &c. are descended. Vide those titles in this work.

1st daughter, Jean, married to John earl of Montrose, chancellor of Scotland. She was grand-mother of the great marquis.

2. Anne, married to John seventh earl of Marr, treasurer of Scotland.

3. Lilias, married to David lord Lindsay, son and apparent heir of David earl of Craw∣furd.

4. Catharine, married to John earl of Tul∣libardin, ancestor of the duke of Athole.

5. Mary, married to sir James Stirling of Keir.

They all had issue.

This worthy lord died anno 1571, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XIX. PATRICK, third lord Drummond, who, having been educated in his mother's principles,* 1.60 embraced the reformed religion, and after queen Mary was a prisoner in Eng∣land, he joined the king's party, and came en∣tirely into the court measures.

He married,* 1.61 1st, lady Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of David earl of Crawfurd, by whom he had two sons, and five daughters.

1. James, lord Drummond, afterwards earl of Perth.

2. John, who succeeded his brother.

1st daughter, Catharine, married to James lord Lesly, whose son, John earl of Rothes, was father of the duke.

2. Lilias, married to Alexander earl of Dunfermline, chancellor of Scotland.

3. Jean, married to Robert earl of Roxburgh.

4. Elizabeth, married to Alexander lord Elphingstone.

5. Anne, married 1st, to Patrick Barclay of Towie, and, 2dly, to Andrew Fraser of Murthil, ancestor of lord Fraser.

They all had issue.

He married, 2dly, Agnes, daughter and co∣heiress of John Drummond of Innerpeffry, by whom he had no issue.

He died before the year 1600, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XX. JAMES, fourth lord Drummond, a man of extraordinary natural endowments, improved by a polite and learned education. After having spent a considerable time in France, and acquired the easy manners and address of that elegant nation, he returned to Britain, where he soon distinguished him∣self at the court of king James VI. by hi graceful behaviour, and shining parts. He was sent ambassador to Philip the III. of Spain, together with the earl of Nottinghame, lord high admiral of England, in order to settle the ratification of the treaty of peace betwixt the two nations, and to endeavour to recon∣cile matters betwixt Spain and Holland;* 1.62 and having acquitted himself in that negotiation with dexterity and success, his majesty, im∣mediately upon his return, was pleased to dig∣nify him with the title of earl of Perth, by patent, to him and his heirs-male whatsom∣ever, dated 4th March 1605; and got char∣ters under the great seal,* 1.63 Jacobo comiti de Perth, of many lands, inter 1606 et 1609: But these promising appearances, that portend∣ed such honour to his family and country, were soon blasted by an untimely death, which carried him off in the very bloom of his years, anno 1611.

He married lady Isabel Seton, daughter of Robert first earl of Winton, by whom he had only one daughter,

Lady Jane Drummond,* 1.64 married to John earl of Sutherland, and had issue.

He having no sons, his estate and honours devolved upon his brorher,

XX. JOHN, second earl, who got charters under the great seal,* 1.65 Johanni comiti de Perth, domino Drummond et Stobhall, of many lands and baronies, betwixt the years 1612 and 1616.

He was a man of great learning, probity and integrity, of unshaken loyalty to his prince, of steady attachment to the interest of his country, kind and benevolent to his friends, careful in managing the affairs of his family with prudence and oeconomy, and singularly just in all his dealings.

He was one of the peers that sat on the jury when Patrick earl of Orkney was tried for treason and rebellion,* 1.66 who suffered accord∣ingly, anno 1614.

Though this noble lord was appointed a privy councillor for life, by the parliament in 1641,* 1.67 yet he was a man of steady loyalty, and a most faithful subject to the king.

He joined the great Montrose, was taken prisoner at the battle of Philiphaugh; was, with his son lord Drummond,* 1.68 fined by Oliver Cromwell, in the sum of five thousand pounds sterling, anno 1654, and suffered many other hardships on account of his attachment to the royal family.

He married lady Jean Ker, eldest daughter of Robert earl of Roxburgh, by whom he had four sons and two daughters.

1. Henry, lord Drummond, who died in infancy.

2. James, afterwards earl of Perth.

3. Sir John Drummond of Logiealmond, grand-father of John Drummond, now of Lo∣giealmond, Esq; and of Dr. Thomas Drum∣mond.

4. Sir William Drummond, afterwards earl of Roxburgh, of whom lord Ballenden, &c. Vide title duke of Roxburgh.

1st daughter, lady Jane, married to John earl of Wigton, and had issue.

2. Lady Lilias, married to James earl of Tullibardin.

He died anno 1662, and was succeeded by his son,

XXI. JAMES, third earl of Perth, who, be∣ing young when the unhappy troubles in king Charles I.'s reign began, was at first engaged on the parliament's side, but so soon as Mon∣trose appeared with the king's commission, he joined him at the battle of Tippermuir, and continued steady in his loyalty ever after.* 1.69 He was (with his father) fined by Oliver Crom∣well in five thousand pounds sterling, anno 1654, as before observed.

He married lady Anne Gordon, eldest daugh∣ter of George third marquis of Huntly, by whom he had two sons and one daughter.

1. James, his heir.

2. John, afterwards earl of Melfort, of whom more hereafter.

His daughter, lady Anne Drummond, marri∣ed to John earl of Errol, lord high constable of Scotland.

He died anno 1675, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

XXII. JAMES, fourth earl of Perth, a man of fine natural parts, great probity and ho∣nour; who having got an education suitable

to his noble birth, became one of the most ac∣complished men of his time.

He was in great favour with king Charles II.* 1.70 who appointed him one of his privy coun∣cil, anno 1678, lord justice-general, anno 1682, and lord high chancellor of Scotland, 23d June 1684.

When the duke of York, (afterwards king James VII.) came to Scotland in 1679, he contracted a more than ordinary friendship for the earl of Perth, which subsisted invio∣late to the end of his days.

Upon his royal highness's accession to the throne of great Britain, in 1685, he not only continued the earl of Perth in the chancellor's office,* 1.71 but appointed him high sheriff of Mid-Lothian, and governor of the Bass.

Certain it is no man in Scotland had a greater share of king James's confidence and esteem than this noble lord; and it is as cer∣tain his majesty had not one subject in the whole kingdom, that served him with more fidelity and honour.

It is observed by a noble author, that the administration of justice was never carried on with more temper and impartiality than during this period.* 1.72

He made a resignation in the king's hands, of the earldom of Perth, and his whole other lands, with the heretable offices of the stew∣arty, coronership and forestry of Strathearn, Glenerty, and Ballwhidder, &c. in favours of James lord Drummond, his eldest son, and the heirs-male procreate, or to be procreate, of his body; which failing, to the said James lord Drummond, and his other heirs-male whatsoever, &c. whereupon he expede a charter under the great seal, in which their whole lands,* 1.73 lying in the stewarty of Strath∣earn, are particularly enumerated, dated in November 1687.

In the same year, when the ancient order of the thistle was revived,* 1.74 the lord chancel∣lor was named the first knight of that or∣der.

At the revolution, when king James went over to France, the mob begun to commit great disorders in Scotland. The chancellor being obnoxious to them, on account of his religion, was advised by his friends (and in∣deed it was his own inclination) to follow his majesty. He accordingly, (with his lady and family) embarked in a small vessel at Burnt-island, but was pursued by a long-boat from Kirkcaldy, full of armed men. His lordship, being noways provided for such an attack, was soon forced to surrender. He and his lady were plundered of all they had by the ruf∣fians,* 1.75 and brought back. The chancellor was imprisoned in the common tolbooth of Kirk∣caldy, and most barbarously used.

He was afterwards carried to the castle of Stirling, where he remained prisoner near four years, and was at last set at liberty upon his promising to transport himself beyond seas,* 1.76 without any reason being given for his being so long confined.

He went first to Rome, where he staid a∣bout two years, when his old master sent for him. He came to him at St. Germains in France, where his majesty heaped all the ho∣nours and favours upon him that were in his power to bestow.* 1.77 He created him duke of Perth, (the patent is said to be to his heirs-male,) first lord of the bed-chamber, knight of the garter, and chamberlain to the queen. He also appointed him governor to his son.

He married, 1st, lady Jane Douglas, daugh∣ter of William marquis of Douglas, by lady Mary Gordon his second lady, and by her had issue one son,

James, lord Drummond,—and two daughters.

1. Lady Mary, married to William ninth earl Marishal, and had issue.

2. Lady Anne, who died unmarried.

He married, 2dly, Lilias, daughter of sir James Drummond of Machany, countess dow∣ager of Tullibardin, by whom he had two sons.

1. John, of whom more hereafter.

2. Charles, who died without issue.

He married, 3dly, lady Mary Gordon, daughter of Lewis marquis of Huntly, by whom he had a son,

Edward, commonly called lord Edward, who will be mentioned hereafter,—and a daughter,

Lady Teresa.

This noble peer died at St. Germains in May 1716, and was interred in the chapel of the Scotch college at Paris.

XXIII. JAMES, eldest son of the chancel∣lor, commonly designed marquis of Drum∣mond, was educated in France, and improved his education by travelling into all the coun∣tries in Europe, where strangers resort to ac∣quire the knowledge of men and things. His acquaintance with the most polite courts, gave him all the easy address and genteel behavi∣our that distinguish the man of fashion; and an abundant stock of good natural parts made him reap the advantages that men of sense on∣ly can acquire from an intercourse with fo∣reign nations. He stuck fast to the princi∣ples of his family, and attached himself firm∣ly to the house of Stewart. He attended king James VII. in his expedition to Ireland,

and after the battle of the Boyne, and the total reduction of that kingdom by king William, when there seemed no further appearance of any scheme to bring about his favourite cause,* 1.78 he returned to Scotland.

As he was zealous for the honour and in∣dependency of his country, he opposed the u∣nion strenuously, as, in his opinion, evidently tending to destroy both.

It is much for the credit, and shows the disinterestedness, of this nobleman, that though he was forward on every occasion, to contri∣bute every thing, to the utmost of his power, to bring back the exiled family, and was edu∣cated, and firmly established in the principles of the church of Rome, yet when the plot was carrying on in 1708 to effectuate that re∣storation, he insists, as a preliminary,* 1.79 to se∣cure to a Protestant people the Protestant re∣ligion, as well as their civil liberties.

Upon the earl of Marr's insurrection in 1715, the marquis of Drummond was a man of great consequence in that cause, by the connections he had with some of the most considerable chieftains of the clans, and the trust they reposed in him. Accordingly he joined the earl with all the force he could raise, and behaved with great gallantry at the battle of Dunblain. After that attempt was disconcerted, and the partizans of the house of Stewart were entirely dispersed, he made his escape to France, where he died, and was bu∣ried near his father, in the chapel of the Scotch college of Paris.

He married lady Jane, daughter of George duke of Gordon, by whom he had two sons, and two daughters.

1. James, his heir.

2. John, commonly called lord John Drummond.

1st daughter, lady Mary Drummond.

2. Lady Henriet, died unmarried.

XXIV. JAMES, eldest son of John marquis of Drummond, commonly called duke of Perth, succeededed to the whole estate. He was sent abroad in his infancy, to be educat∣ed at the Scotch college of Doway; and, af∣ter having gone through the course of stu∣dies usually taught in such seminaries, and ob∣tained a competent share of academical learn∣ing, for his further improvement he went to Paris, where he acquired those exercises and accomplishments that are necessary for a young nobleman. He was a good mathema∣tician, and drew with the accuracy and taste of a master. About the time of his majori∣ty, he returned to Scotland, and applied him∣self entirely to the management of his pri∣vate affairs, to the encouragement of the li∣beral as well as the useful arts, to the improve∣ment of husbandry and the manufactures, not only upon his own estate, but through the whole kingdom, wherever his influence ex∣tended, and thereby became a most excellent member of civil life. As he had early im∣bibed all the principles of his family, and de∣voted himself to the service of the house of Stewart, so soon as Charles, the young pre∣tender, arrived, he was amongst the first of those who joined his standard, with all the force he could raise. He was his first lieu∣tenant-general at the battle of Preston, com∣manded at the siege of Carlisle and Stirling, and during the whole time of the rebellion, on every occasion acted with the greatest courage and conduct, having no other point in view, but, as far as in him lay, to promote the good of the cause in which he was em∣barked. In spite of a very delicate constitu∣tion, he underwent the greatest of fatigues, and was the first on every occasion of duty, where his head or his hands could be of use, bold as a lion in the field of battle, but ever merciful in the hour of victory. With an heart open to all the delicate feelings of humanity, these mild and gentle affections that peculi∣arly distinguished the brave, filled his breast with universal benevolence, made him atten∣tive to relieve the miseries and calamities of the distressed, where-ever he found them, and put him always in remembrance, that no distinction of party can blot out the cha∣racter of MAN.

After the battle of Cullodden he embark∣ked for France; but by this time his consti∣tution being quite exhausted, with the fa∣tigues he had undergone, he died in the pas∣sage upon the 13th day of May 1746. His body was kept for some days, in expecta∣tion of making the land, but being detain∣ed by contrary winds, at last it was obliged to be buried in the sea.

By an act of parliament it was declared, that all persons that were concerned in the rebellion, and did not surrender before the month of July, should be deemed convicts for high treason. But as this James died be∣fore the limited time, the attainder did not take place against him: however it sell with all its weight upon his brother and heir lord John, who was embarked in the same cause, and in his person the whole estate of Perth was forfeited to the crown. This John was educated at Doway, where he very soon discovered a strong propensity and forward ge∣nius towards a military life, and accordingly the bent of his studies were turned that way.

After having acquired some of the accomplish∣ments necessary for a soldier, he entered into the service of the king of France; and when he had passed through several gradations, got the command of a regiment, which he raised himself, and was named the Royal Scotch. He had the same warmth and affection for the interest of the house of Stewart that his bro∣ther and father had, and commanded the French piquets that were sent over in 1745, in support of that cause. During the time of the rebellion, he always acted as a good officer, and his corps was of considerable ad∣vantage on several occasions to his party. Af∣ter the defeat at Cullodden, he made his e∣scape to France in the same ship in which his brother embarked, and resumed the com∣mand of his own regiment under the conduct of Marshal Saxe in Flanders, where he distin∣guished himself on many occasions, but in none more than in the care and concern he show∣ed for any of the British subjects that were taken prisoners, or in distress. Here he ex∣erted the generosity of his mind, and display∣ed that goodness of heart that ever distin∣guishes true nobility. After the siege of Ber∣gen-op-Zoom, he was appointed a major-ge∣neral, when lying ill of a fever, of which he soon thereafter died, and was buried in the chapel of the English nuns at Antwerp. He also leaving no issue, the representation de∣volved upon his uncle,

Lord John Drummond, before mentioned, who was eldest son of the chancellor's second marriage. He had a noble and liberal edu∣cation, having spent a great part of his young∣er years in foreign parts, particularly at the courts of France and Spain. He was master of a dignity of manners, that claimed the e∣steem of every body, kind and benevolent to his friends, affable and polite in his behaviour to all men, firm and steady in the principles which he believed right; and though divest∣ed of an opulent estate, by the attainder of his nephew, upon an inconsiderable fortune of his own, he maintained the dignity of his family, and always appeared on every occasi∣on in a manner suitable to his rank. He mar∣ried, 1st, the heiress of Balegarno; 2dly, la∣dy Mary Stewart, daughter of Charles earl of Traquair, but died without issue at Edin∣burgh, anno 1757, and was buried in the ab∣bay church of Holyrood-house. The next in succession was his brother,

Lord Edward Drummond, only son of the chancellor's third marriage, born in Stir∣ling castle, during his father's confinement. He went very early abroad to France, where he spent the greatest part of his time, and liv∣ed in a great retirement, being very bookish, and, in a manner, quite devoted to religious duties.

He married lady Elizabeth, daughter of Charles earl of Middleton; but dying with∣out issue at Paris, anno 1760, in him ended the male-line of the chancellor's body, where∣by the representation of that most noble and illustrious family devolves upon James Drum∣mond of Lundin, grand-son of John earl of Melfort, to whom we now return.

XXII. JOHN, earl of Melfort, was se∣cond son of James third earl of Perth, and brother-german to the chancellor.

To the account we have already given of this noble peer, page 468th of this work, we must here subjoin, that after the revolu∣tion, when principle induced him to sacrifice all, and follow the fortunes of king James VII. that same address, that same genius, and acuteness of parts which distinguished him in Britain, made him admired at the court of France, and continued him a first favourite of his unfortunate master. The favourites of princes are always the objects of envy, and the voice of slander, and detraction is ever loud and noisy against them. This Melfort found from the tongues and pens of many,* 1.80 as much beneath the consideration of the pu∣blick, as unworthy the nobility and rank of those who propagated the calumny:* 1.81 As we dare venture to challenge any person to shew, from sufficient proof, that he ever betrayed the interest of his master, or deviated from these principles of honour and truth for which his family have always been remarkable.

He married, 1st, Sophia, daughter and sole heiress of Margaret Lundin of that ilk (heiress of that antient family) by her husband Ro∣bert Maitland, second brother of John duke of Lauderdale, by whom he had two sons, and three daughters.

1. James, his heir apparent, who died un∣married.

2. Robert, who carried on the line of the family.

1st daughter, lady Anne, married to sir John Houstoun of that ilk, baronet, and had issue.

2. Lady Elizabeth, married to William viscount of Strathallan, and had issue.

3. Lady Mary, married, 1st, to Walter Scot of High-Chester; 2dly, to sir James Sharp, Bart. and had issue to both.

He married, 2dly, Eupheme, daughter of sir Thomas Wallace, &c. &c. &c.

XXIII. ROBERT, son of John earl of Mel∣fort's

first marriage, succeeding to his mo∣ther's estate, retained the name of Lundin, as representative of that most antient and illu∣strious family.

He married Anne, daughter of sir James Inglis of Cramond, Bart. by whom he had two sons.

1. John, his heir.

2. James, of whom afterwards.

He died anno 1716, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

John, who dying unmarried, anno 1735, was succeeded by his brother,

XXIV. JAMES, grand-son and heir of John earl of Melfort's first marriage.

Upon the death of lord Edward Drum∣mond, the last male descendant of the chan∣cellor's body, the representation of that most noble family devolved upon this James, as be∣fore observed, who now carries the name of Drummond, &c. And it being understood, that the attainder of the lord Drummond, son of the chancellor, affected himself only, the chancellor never having been attainted, and his issue-male being now extinct, this James (as we are informed) is entitled to the dignity of the earl of Perth; and as his claim to the peerage appears to be well founded, he will no doubt take up all the honours his ancestors enjoyed.

He married lady Rachel Bruce, daughter of Thomas seventh earl of Kincardine, by whom he had issue three sons, and one daugh∣ter.

1. Robert, a youth of great hopes and spi∣rit, who died unmarried.

2. Thomas.

3. James.

His daughter, Rachel.
