From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patrick Hepburn, 3rd Earl of Bothwell was born in 1512. His father was Adam Hepburn, who died at the Battle of Flodden the year after Patrick's birth.

Patrick Hepburn was known as the Fair Earl. He owed this more to his looks than his character, being described as "fair and white" whilst a young boy.

He was imprisoned in 1529 for two years for harbouring robbers. Once released he decided to exact revenge by beginning a treasonable correspondence with England. He then spent much of the next years in England, and after James V died at the Battle of Solway Moss, Hepburn signed a pact with Henry VIII promising to serve him and aid the commitment of the then infant Mary Queen of Scots into Henry's custody.

Hepburn married at the age of 21 on one of his return visits to Scotland, where he married Agnes Sinclair, who gave birth to his son James.

Despite having sworn loyalty to Henry VIII, Hepburn was awarded an annual pension of £1,000 from Mary of Guise (Mary Queen of Scots' mother) in return for his fidelity. Hepburn believed there was the possibility of marrying into royalty, so much so that he organised a divorce from his wife. However, he soon realized the prospects for royal marriage were thin and despite Henry VIII engaging in the bloody invasion of Scotland Hepburn resumed correspondence with England.

In the intervening years, Hepburn played a pivotal role in the death of George Wishart.

In 1548 Hepburn renounced his loyalty to the Scottish crown and became a pensioner of England, to the tune of £3,000 annually. However he returned to Scotland when in 1554 Mary of Guise forgave him. Two years later he died and his titles passed to his son James, who would go on to become the third husband of Mary Queen of Scots.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Hepburn, Duke of Orkney, Marquess of Fife, 4th Earl of Bothwell, usually just referred to as Bothwell (~1535 - April 14, 1578) was the third husband of Mary I of Scotland.

Bothwell was the son of Patrick Hepburn, 3rd Earl of Bothwell, whom he succeeded as earl in 1556. Although he was probably acting in an advisory capacity to Mary almost from the moment of her return in Scotland (in 1561), their liaison does not seem to have begun until 1566, after the birth of her son, the future James VI of Scotland. Bothwell had married Jean, the daughter of George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly, in February of that year; the marriage lasted just over a year.

Hearing that Bothwell had been seriously wounded and was likely to die, Mary visited him at Hermitage Castle only a few weeks after giving birth to James. Bothwell was divorced by his wife on the grounds of adultery with his wife's servant, Bessie Crawford, in May, 1567, three months after the death of Mary's second husband, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, whom Bothwell was accused of murdering by his enemies. He married Mary on May 15, 1567, twelve days after his divorce, after having abducted her; he had been created Duke of Orkney on May 12. The marriage made her unpopular, and was a direct cause of her being forced to abdicate her throne. In December of the same year, Bothwell's titles and estates were forfeit for treason. He escaped from Scotland and travelled to Scandinavia in the hope of raising an army to put Mary back on the throne, but was imprisoned by King Frederick in Norway, and was imprisoned in the notorious Dragsholm Castle, Denmark, after a failed attempt to escape, where he was kept in appalling conditions and eventually died, insane. His mummified body could supposedly be seen in Fårevejle, in the church near Dragsholm, until a few decades ago. The identity of the body has never been conclusively proven, however, and it was properly buried at the request of Bothwell's relatives in the 1980s.
