    Scottish Tradition Vol.24 1999 NEGLECTED SOURCE MATERIALS ON THE JACOBITE RISINGS hile conducting research for a new biography of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute, I have come Wacross several manuscript collections contain- ing valuable information on the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745 - material which seems to have been overlooked in the numerous works on Jacobitism that have appeared in recent years.1 The purpose of this article is to draw attention to this material and where appropriate, briefly summarize the more important items in the collection in the hope that scholars will be encouraged to undertake a detailed study of the originals either in microfilm format or by personally visiting the holding institution. The first collection comprises the papers of John Calcraft (1726-1772), on deposit at Dorset County Records Office.2 Deputy Paymaster (1745-1757), Calcraft was well known in high political circles, and his correspondence is a rich resource for contemporary events, both domestic and foreign. Of special interest to those engaged in Jacobite studies is Calcraft’s out- letter book (1745/46), containing letters and notes from General Thomas Wentworth co-commander of the 13 Scottish Tradition Vol.24 1999 government forces mobilized against the Highland army, as well as detailed references to Jacobite military movements. Also important is the out-letter book of Henry Fox (Secretary at War, 1746-1754) which contains much material on various aspects of the ’45 and its aftermath, including letters describing the trial of Lord Lovat. Another important resource is the collection of the papers of Edward Weston (Under-secretary, 1729-46; 1761-4) in the Lewis Walpole Library at Farmington, Connecticut.3 A seasoned professional with extensive connections, Weston devoted much of his correspon- dence to diplomatic matters, and this material has great value previously because of its confidential and informal nature, because he had access to vital information and because the collection contains letters and dispatches unobtainable elsewhere.

  • 'The Political Career of Edward Sackville, Fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)'
    'THE POLITICAL CAREER OF EDWARD SACKVILLE, FOURTH EARL OF DORSET (1590-1652)' BY DAVID LAWRENCE SMITH SELWYN COLLEGE A Dissertation submitted in the Faculty of History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Michae1mas Term 1989 ABSTRACT Title: 'The Poli tical Career of Edward Sackvi1le, fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)' Author: David Lawrence Smith, Selwyn College This dissertation seeks to illuminate early Stuart political history by a study of one important public figure. The fourth Earl of Dorset was a member of Charles I's Privy Council, Lord Chamberlain to Queen Henrietta Maria, and Lord Lieutenant of Sussex and Middlesex. He attended all the Parliaments of the 1620's, and sat in the Short and Long Parliaments. He was active in Court and Council throughout the 1630's, and sided with the King in the Civil War. He consistently advocated harmony and reconciliation in a period of growing polarisation. This study investigates Dorset's perception of early seventeenth century political developments, his response to them, and the reasons why he and other moderates failed to prevent civil war. It thus contributes to current debates both on the early modern peerage, and on the origins and nature of the English Civil War. The first chapter looks at Dorset's life and career up to the age of thirty. In Chapter Two a discussion of his rapid rise to political prominence during the 1620's explores the reasons for his success and the nature of his motivation. Chapter Three investigates Dorset's activities as a Privy Councillor and as the Queen's Lord Chamberlain in the 1630's.

" My thanes and kinsmen, Henceforth be Earls ; the first that ever Scotland In such an honor named." ,, LONDON: HARBISON AND SONS, 59, PALL MALL, BOOKSELLERS TO HEE MAJESTY AND H.E.H. TIIE PEINCE OF WALES. 1889. Price One Shilling. THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF THE EARLDOM OF MAR. On the 17th July of this year* the Earl of G-alloway in the House of Lords moved a resolution regarding the Mar peerage. He desired, in effect, to have it resolved that the present Earl of Mar and Baron Garioch was the only Earl of Mar, and that an order of the House of Lords of February 26th, 1875, which declared the Earl of Kellie to be also an Earl of Mar, should be cancelled : —" What they were asked to do," according to one of the speakers, the Earl of Rosebery, was " to declare that there were not two Earls of Mar ; whereas three years ago they had solemnly declared that there were ; " and, according to the report of the debate in the " Times," the motion was lost by a majority of 27 in a House of 51. This is the last public resuscitation of a long-stand- ing and involved dispute ; and it is proposed to give some account of the most interesting inquiry of the kind which has taken place in this century—interesting for its in- trinsic historical merits and research, and for the perplexed proceedings following upon it—not for any details of questions of disputed legitimacy which often accompany such investigations.

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.

  • The Earldom of Ross and the Lordship of the Isles
    THE EARLDOM OF ROSS AND THE LORDSHIP OF THE ISLES Jean Munro The period covered is roughly I 2I 5 to 14 76, and the subject falls into three parts: the first concentrates on building up the earldom of Ross under the first five earls, the second brings together the earldom of Ross and the lordship of the Isles, and the third gives some indication of the way in which the two fitted together in practice [Fig. 5. I]. THE EARLS OF ROSS: EARLY THIRTEENTH- EARLY FOURTEENTH CENTURIES The story of what the Scots Peerage calls the ancient earls of Ross began about I 215, when Farquhar helped Alexander II to crush rebellion in Moray and Ross and was rewarded with the earldom which, until then, seems to have been part of the province of Moray (RMS. II. i. App n).lt was Farquhar, son of the lay patron of Applecross, who founded the abbey of Fearn in the early I220S on a site in Kincardine parish; and it was he who, fifteen years later, moved the abbot and brethren, with their consent and 'for the more tranquilitie, peace and quyetnes', to the parish of Tarbat (Chron. 3-4). This was nearer the heart of the earldom and William, Farquhar's son, was recorded as dying at Earl's Allane, probably very near Fearn, in I274 (Cal. Fearn). It was this first William who got a charter from Alexander III of the lordship of Skye, Norse until I 266, which was held along with the earldom but not merged with it.

    Alasdair Mòr mac an Rìgh: A Reassessment of Alexander Stewart’s Political Disposition During the Reign of Robert II of Scotland Michael Ruiter In the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, the north of Scotland was, according to popular history, terrorized by the king’s son, Alexander Stewart. Known more commonly by the name Wolf of Badenoch, Alexander is remembered as a defier of royal rule, and a scourge upon the lords of the north. This paper seeks to unravel some of the complicated political relationships operating at this time, and to define specifically, that between Robert Stewart II and his son, Alexander Stewart. Alexander Stewart, lord of Badenoch, earl of Buchan, and third son of King Robert II of Scotland has been given the historical designation, Wolf of Badenoch. The lowland chronicler, Abbot Walter Bower, claimed that this byname was commonly used for Alexander Stewart: a name representative of his violent, dangerous, and unpredictable rule in the north of Scotland.1 So notorious is Badenoch’s historical representation, that he has been termed by P. F. Tytler, a “species of Celtic Attila” who “issued from his lair in the north . to scourge and afflict the nation.”2 Alexander, however, was also known by another designation. In curious opposition to the Wolf of Badenoch, he has also been called Alasdair Mòr mac an Rìgh or, Great Alexander Son of the King.3 Badenoch has traditionally been characterized as negatively affecting Robert II’s reign by causing chaos in the north, and in so doing, destabilizing Robert II’s rule.4 A careful reexamination of the history of Alexander Stewart reveals that he may not have been quite the lupine character he has so often been called.
