THE Hamiltons, so far as trustworthy evidence goes, cannot equal in descent either the Stewarts or Douglases, their history beginning about two hundred years later than that of the former, and one hundred years later

than that of the latter ; still their antiquity is considerable. In the introduction to the first chapter I have dealt with the suggested earlier origin of the family. The Hamiltons were conspicuous in their loyalty to Queen Mary, and, judging by the number of marriages between members of the different branches, they were also loyal to their race.

Throughout their history one hears little of the violent deeds which charac- terised the Stewarts and Douglases, and one may truthfully say the race has generally been a peaceful one. In hereditary honours they have reached the highest rank, having acquired the Dukedoms of , Chatelherault, and Hamilton ; the Marquisates of Earldoms of Abercorn, Arran, Abercorn, Clydesdale, and Hamilton ; the Cam-

bridge, Clanbrassill (twice), Haddington, Lanark, and Rothes ; the Viscounties

of Boyne, Claneboye, Hamilton, Limerick, and Strabane ; the Baronies of Aber- brothwick, Abercorn, Avon, Bargany, Belhaven, Binning, Brancepeth, Claneboye, Holmpatrick, Innerdale, Kilpatrick, Machaneschyre, Melros of Tyninghame,

Paisley, Polmont, Stentoun ; also the Baronies of Hamilton of Dalzell, Glenawly, Hambledon, Mountcastle, Strabane, and Wishaw. They have also had fourteen Baronetcies conferred on them. In personal honours they have been Knights of the Garter, Thistle, and

St. Patrick, and also of all the lower orders of Knighthood.

The standard history of the family is John Anderson's Historical and Genea- logical Memoirs of the House of Hamilton, published 1825, but its author admits that many of the accounts of the smaller branches are not to be trusted owing to " the suspicious assertions of family vanity and doubtful tradition."

In this work, where no better account was to be found, I have in the main followed Anderson, correcting and supplementing his account wherever possible,

giving my authority for doing so.

One reason for following the House of Hamilton is that many of the Armorial Bearings appear to have been granted on the assumption that the pedigrees there given were correct. —

PREFACE

ARMS.

The distinguishing Arms of the family are a red shield charged with three argent or ermine cinquefoils, generally pierced. By referring to the Plates it will be observed that the cadets usually differenced by adding a small in the centre of the shield.

The Hamiltons.

the days when a long pedigree, without regard to accuracy, was the proud IN possession of every noble or gentle family, it was the custom to trace the Hamiltons back to the Beaumonts or Belmonts, Earls of Leicester from about 1 107 to 1204. The reasons why this family was selected were— First, that on the of Robert, fourth and last , who died 1204, appears a single cinquefoil pierced ermine, and the Hamiltons have always borne three cinquefoils, which were supposed to be the heraldic difference of a younger son. The second reason arose out of the Hamilton and , the former an oak tree in which is fixed a frame saw, and the latter the single word " Through" The story runs that "Sir Gilbert de Hamilton," flying from the Court of King Edward II. of in 1323, was closely pursued, and to escape capture, he and his servant changed clothes with two woodcutters, and set to work. When the pursuers passed without noticing " them, Hamilton cried to his servant Through " ; hence the origin of Crest and Motto. The weak spots in the story are that Sir Gilbert's son was in Scotland twenty-seven years earlier, and also that the Crest of Sir John Hamilton, which appears on his Seal in 1388, was a boar's head. The tree with the horn of the antelope doing duty as a saw was first used by the first Lord Hamilton, and is shown on his Seal in 1477. The Motto appears first on the Seal of the Duke of Chatelherault in 1560. In the Introduction to the Report on the Hamilton MSS. it is stated that a Walter Fitz Gilbert of Northumberland married Emma de Umfraville, and it is suggested that as one of the earliest ancestors of the Hamiltons was a Walter Fitz Gilbert, and also that as the Umfravilles bore a single cinquefoil (but always witJiin an orle of crosses patty) on their Shield, the Scottish Hamiltons may have had a Northumbrian origin, but the Hamiltons would not be likely to take Arms from the female side, and the Arms of Fitz Gilbert as a surname were apparently Or, three chevronels gules, which have no resemblance to those of Hamilton. It has also been suggested that as a Roger and Robert de Hameldon appear in Northumberland about 1209, the Hamiltons through the similarity of name may be descended from one or other of them, but there is no proof of this. The Hamiltons may rest content with their real history. It is true they cannot claim the same antiquity as the Stewarts or Douglases, they could not rise to the level of the Stewarts in being kings, but they came very near the goal when they were declared heirs to the throne in 1543. They contested the power of the Douglases, reached as high a point in family honours, and survived them, as the — — — — ———

io THE HAMILTONS many honours they hold to-day testify. Their proudest boast may well be that they were " the loyalest when nearest to the throne." I shall now pass on to the true history of the Hamiltons, so far as our present knowledge extends.

(2) Sir Walter Fitz Gilbert de Hameldone, died before 1346, whose name appears in the Ragman Roll of 1296.
