• Notes

  He was slain by Hugh Campbell, Sheriff of Ayr at the instigation of Sir James Hamilton. He succeeded as 2nd Earl of Cassillis in 1513. He was a prominent figure in the history of Scotland; Ambassador to England, a Privy-Councillor to James V, concluded truce with the Duke of Norfolk on part of Henry VIII after 1513. He was invested as a Privy Counsellor (P.C.) [Scotland] to King James V. In 1525 he was tried for the murder of Martin Kennedy of Lochland in 1525, but was acquitted through the influence of his brother-in-law, the Earl of Argyll. In December 1526 he was a prisoner in the hands of the Douglas faction, after having joined the unsuccessful attempt of the Earl of Arran to rescue the young King James V.
