Constable for the Scottish History Society 1895 PREFACE The Letter Book of the second Duke of Ormonde, now edited for the Scottish History Society, was acquired by the British Museum in November 1890, and is catalogued as No. 33,950 of the Additional Manuscripts. It is a thin vellum-covered volume, consisting of ninety folios, and containing copies, kept in the handwriting of two secretaries, of letters written by the Duke between November 4th, 1718, and September 27th, 1719. Twenty-three of the letters are addressed to Prince James Francis Edward Stuart, and fifty-seven to Cardinal Alberoni. They relate almost entirely to the Cardinal’s pro- jected invasion of this country in 1719 on behalf of the exiled Stuarts, which ended in the Earl Marischal’s landing in the West Highlands and the Battle of Glenshiel. They are an important addition to our somewhat scanty sources of information regarding this enterprise. In the Introduction I have tried to tell the story anew from contemporary authorities. A number of original documents relating to the undertaking are collected in the Appendix. I have to record my humble gratitude to Her Majesty the Queen for the permission graciously accorded to me to make use of a portion of the Stuart Papers in the Library at Windsor. My thanks are also due to the Earl of Kintore, for per- mission to reproduce the portraits of the tenth Earl Marischal and of Field-Marshal James Keith, in his possession at Keith PREFACE Hall; to the Council of the Society of Antiquaries of Scot- land, for permission to reproduce Bastide’s plan of the Battle of Glenshiel from the Proceedings of the Society; to Viscount Dillon, for access to General Arthur Dillon’s papers at Ditchley ; to the Bishop of Edinburgh, for the letter of Bishop Gadderar, printed in Appendix, p. 296; to the Rev. Roderick Morison, minister of Kintail, for information as to the traditions and place-names of Seaforth’s country; and to Mr. Richard R. Holmes, Her Majesty’s Librarian at Windsor, for his courteous assistance in the examination of the Stuart Papers. I am specially indebted to Mr. T. G. Law, Secretary of our Society, for much valuable advice and help. The Index is the work of Mr. Alex. Mill, of the Signet Library. W. K. D. Edinburgh, October 15, 1895.

In the Manuscript they are often headed by fictitious or cipher names. These are in all cases explained by headnotes. A key to the cipher names used in the Letters is appended to the Manuscript. It is printed at page 189. It is not quite complete. The missing names have, so far as possible, been supplied from the Stuart Papers. Throughout the letters the expression ‘ the King ’ refers to James Francis Edward Stuart, called the ‘ Chevalier de St. George,’and the ‘Old Pretender.’ The same usage is for convenience generally followed in the Contents and the headnotes. Through- out the volume dates which refer to events happening or letters dated on the Continent are New Style; those referring to events in Great Britain are Old Style, nominally eleven days earlier. viii THE JACOBITE ATTEMPT OF 1719 The Duke of Ormonde’s Letters—continued rAaB xviii.

  • The Funeral Oration of George Keith, Fourth Earl Marischal (1623)
    CHAPTER 7 A Classic Send-Off: The Funeral Oration of George Keith, Fourth Earl Marischal (1623) Miles Kerr-Peterson Sometime before 1607, George Keith, the fourth earl Marischal, erected a Roman legionary tablet in pride of place on the northern wall at the end of his long gallery in Dunnottar Castle. He had found the stone, a distance slab created by the twentieth legion, in a “dike in the borders of England and Scotland” (possibly on his estate of Keith Marischal in the parish of Humbie) and had it shipped to Dunnottar. He then had it vibrantly painted and gilded.1 In 1620 the same earl composed a genealogy of his family, in which he described how his ancestors, the Germanic Chatti, had been defeated in a surprise attack by the Romans and had hence fled to Scotland.2 Marischal is a good representative example of the Scottish nobility, who in the latter half of the sixteenth century had benefited from a classical and humanist educa- tion. These Scots proudly saw their ancestors as the fierce resistors and enemy of Rome, but at the same time embraced all things Roman—their language, antiquities, history, poetry and Stoic ethos—with no apparent crisis of confidence or identity.3 This apparent disconnect was likewise expressed in 1623 in the same earl’s memorial service, held in Aberdeen’s Marischal College, an institution which he had founded in 1593. This was held on 30 June 1623, five days after his body had been laid to rest in the earls’ burial aisle in Dunnottar Parish Church.

Their Nation Dishonored, the Queen Shamed, and Country Undone: Feuding, Factionalism, and Religion in the Chaseabout Raid Abstract The mid-sixteenth century witnessed religious and political upheaval across much of Western Europe, particularly in the British Isles. In 1565, a good portion of the Scottish nobility rebelled against their sovereign, Mary, Queen of Scots. The roles played and decisions made by the nobles during this revolt, known as the Chaseabout Raid, provide important insights concerning the converging issues of feuding, factionalism, and religion in Scotland. My reconstructed narrative of the Chaseabout Raid indicates that there were, in fact, no firm factions determined yb ideology, but rather shifting allegiances in the midst of conflict, determined yb complex and interrelated factors, personalities, and motivations. The primary motivation for the coalitions formed during the Chaseabout Raid was selfish personal ambition—base desire for individual gain still superseded any proto-nationalistic ideas or purely ideological commitments.

  • Centenary of the Department of Geography, University of Aberdeen
    Centenary of the Department of Geography, University of Aberdeen Lorna J. Philipa and Kevin J. Edwardsa, b a Department of Geography and Environment, School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK b Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK Corresponding Author: Lorna Philip [email protected] 1 Centenary of the Department of Geography, University of Aberdeen Abstract Prior to the amalgamation of Aberdeen’s two medieval universities in 1860, Geography had been taught to undergraduate students at both King’s and Marischal Colleges since at least the late 16th Century. First mooted in the early 1900s, it was not until 1919 that a lectureship in Geography at Aberdeen was created and a ‘Department of Geography’ came into being. In this contribution we chronicle how, over a century, the Geography department has evolved, highlighting developments in the curriculum and research-related activities. The early decades of the Department were shaped by John McFarlane, the first and only full-time appointee in Geography until his retirement in 1945. The post-World War II period, led by Andrew O’Dell, saw Geography develop into a large and influential Department. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Department (and University) experienced unprecedented levels of growth. Student numbers, research output and income accelerated apace. In the recent past national assessments of research and teaching quality and institutional restructuring have prompted further change. As the Department enters a second century it remains committed to delivering a high quality education to undergraduate and postgraduate students and to the pursuit of excellent geographical research. Keywords: Geography; University of Aberdeen 2 Thay haif said Quhat say thay Lat thame say (They have said, What say they? Let them say) The quotation above, in Scots, is the motto of George Keith, Earl Marischal and the founder of Marischal College.

  • The Jacobite Rebellion of 1719: Revenge and Regrets by PJ Klinger
    The Jacobite Rebellion of 1719: Revenge and Regrets by PJ Klinger October, 2013 Director of Thesis: Dr. Jonathan Reid Major Department: History The Jacobite Rebellion of 1719 was an ambitious failed attempt by Spain and the Jacobites to restore the exiled Stuart king James III to the British throne. Because of its failure, the 1719 rebellion has received little attention from scholars. This thesis examines the Jacobite Rebellion of 1719 and the roles that Spain and the Jacobites had during this rebellion and creates a full narrative of the planning and execution of the rebellion. In examining these roles this thesis traces the origins of the rebellion, determines fault for the rebellion’s failure, and for the first time reconstructs the weather that played a pivotal role in the failure of the rebellion. This thesis argues that the 1719 rebellion was in fact a significant Jacobite rebellion that could have potentially shifted the balance of power in Europe during the early eighteenth century had it not been for the intervention of the weather.

  • THE Navy UNDER CHARLES I 1625-40
    THE NAvY UNDER CHARLES I 1625-40 ANDREW DEREK THRUSH University College Ph.D. Dissertation C ABSTRACT This study is primarily concerned with how the Caroline Navy was run, both in theory and in practice. Previous assessments of early Stuart naval administration have generally been superficial and unsympathetic in tone, but this new work, in shedding fresh light on a variety of themes, attempts to offer a more detailed and balanced view of the quality of administration in the 1620s and 1630s. Starting with an examination of the Navy's senior executive, the thesis broadens out into a discussion of the role of the Navy Board and the manner in which the yards were administered. Here it is argued that the yards were a good deal better regulated than has sometimes been appreciated. It is also suggested that the Navy's ability to reform its own administration has been understated. In the second part of the thesis, two chapters are devoted to the question of finance, in which both financial procedures and management are discussed. In the final section, the Navy's ability to man, victual and prepare its ships for sea is scrutinised. Detailed consideration is also given to the Ordnance Office, which was responsible for gunning and munitioning the Navy's ships. In these later chapters considerable space is devoted to administrative deficiencies which persistently dogged the Navy, but the author argues that institutional factors, such as underfunding, were often to blame rather than mismanagement, a theme which is echoed in the final conclusion. -2- PREFACE In the process of writing this thesis I have incurred many debts of gratitude.

  • The Altamira Collection and the History of the Dutch Revolt1
    COLABORACIÓN INVITADA Cuadernos de Historia Moderna ISSN: 0214-4018 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/chmo.72549 The Altamira Collection and the history of the Dutch Revolt1 Geoffrey Parker2 Recibido: 24 de mayo de 2020 / Aceptado: 4 de noviembre de 2020 Abstract. The Altamira Collection, the name by which the exceptional archive accumulated for centuries by the Counts of Altamira is known among Early Modern historians, is one of the most important documentary collections for the study of the Hispanic Monarchy and especially the reign of Philip II. Since, 1868, the ruin of the Casa de Altamira caused the dispersion of the archive, whose papers were acquired by different buyers, including Archer Milton Huntington, founder of “The Hispanic Society of America”. The magnate acquired the collection of books and manuscripts of the Marquis of Jerez de los Caballeros, unique of its kind, and whose papers were largely from Altamira. The Library of the Hispanic Society of America preserves today a significant part of the Altamira documentary collection that constitutes, together with the other collections distributed throughout Europe, a documentary collection of compulsory consultation for historians of the Dutch Revolt. Key words: Altamira Collection; The Hispanic Society of America; Dutch Revolt. [es] La Colección Altamira y la historia de la Rebelión de los Países Bajos Resumen.
