• (Comment) : William, 15th of Mackintosh, married Margaret Ogilvie, daughter of the Laird Findlater, and by her had three children, the eldest of whom, William, died young the second, Lachlan Mor, succeeded his father and the third, a daughter, Margaret, was married no less than four times: being first Lady Grant, next Lady Abergeldie, then Lady Pitsligo, and lastly Lady Duffus. This was the unfortunate chief, who, entering upon the management of his affairs in 1540, nine years later incurred the deadly hatred of the Earl of Huntly. The earls of Moray and Huntly were rivals, and both sought to attach Mackintosh to their interests. He was in a difficult position, holding lands of both, but his family connection with the Morays inclined him to their interest, so that Huntly in vain tried to obtain Mackintosh’s bond of man-rent. In 1550, the Earl of Huntly was Lieutanant of the North, and getting up a false accusation of conspiracy against Mackintosh, caused apprehend and bring him prisoner to Aberdeen. ... The Earl of Huntly fenced his court at Aberdeen upon the 2d of August 1550, the jury being all his own dependants... It is related that the Provost of Aberdeen, “Being present and preceiving Huntly’s malice and cruelty, and the defender’s innocency, did with a great dead of confidence and boldness take instruments when the defender’s lawful defences were repelled and therefore in open audience of the people appealed to the High Court of Parliament, and protested that nothing done, or to be done, in that Court against Mackintosh, should be hurtful to him, Because, 1st, His judge was his accuser; 2nd, the witnesses brought against him were his mortal and professed enemies; 3d, Because the assizers were the pursuer’s friends and and dependants; and having so protested, he leaves the Court, but has prevailed nothing against Huntly’s malice, but rather enraged him the more ... whereupon, without further process, it was pronounced for doom ... his head to be strucken off from his body ... execute the prisoner upon the 23d day of August 1550, being the 29th year of his age.” Six days afterwards, certain of Mackintosh’s friends came to Strathbogie, and transported the body to Inverness, where it was interred in the Greyfriars, the ancient burying ground of the family, with considerable pomp.
