He wasa Privy Councillor in 1440 and in 1445 (He was sent into England
as a hostage for the payment of a ransom of 40,000 mares for King James
I. ??? his father???)
He was created Lord Hamilton 28 Jun 1445 and surrendered all his lands
and baronies for erection into a new lordship of Hamilton, the name used
thereafter for the town of Cadzow. His loyalties lay initially with his
Douglaskinsmen, with whose chief he visited Rome in 1450 and Canterbury
in 1451, andwith whom he joined in the league with the Earls of Crawford
and Ross against James II, but he subsequently moved over to the King's
side to help suppress their revolt. He was rewarded with the office of
sheriff of Lanarkshire 1 Jul 1455, and on 23 Oct 1455 was granted a new
charter of his lands and baronies.
