Individual Note
He joined Montrose and was fined 20,000 Marks by a Committee of Parliament in 1646. Like his father, the second Earl was an enthusiastic royalist.
"He was but forty when he died, but it is not difficult to imagine that the son-in-law of Traquair, ruined by the ruin of the Royal cause, would meet with little sympathy in the country under the iron heel of Cromwell and dominated for the moment by the triumphant Covenant" - Mahon "Life of General the Hon. James Murray".
Nothing much else is known about the second Earl's life.
