Grimble writes: "It was the second Earl of Arran who acted as Regent for t he baby Mary, Quee n of Scots, as next heir to the crown.  In this offi ce he plundered teh royal revenues, switc hed his allegiance between Fran ce and England according to the bribes he received, and was la rgely respo nsible for the provocations which led to Henry VIII's atrocities in Scotla nd.  Amo ng Arran's prizes was teh French dukedom of Chatelherault.  His c laim to the throne was chall enged by the Stewart Earl of  Lennox, who pla yed the same game, and was Henry VIII's quislin g claimant at the ti me of the Rough Wooing."

============================

2nd Earl of Arran and Duke of Chatelherault
From http://www.rcahms.gov.uk/hamilton/family1.html
James, 2nd Earl of Arran, was for many years heir presumptive to the Scottish throne, for he was a descendant of James I. Had Mary, Queen of Scots died before the birth of her son James VI, Arran would have succeeded her on the throne. As it was, he ruled Scotland as Lord Governor (Regent) for a considerable part of her minority, before being ousted by Mary of Guise in 1554. A vacillating character easily influenced by people of stronger personality than himself, Arran nevertheless had a great talent for self-preservation. In 1548 he had been rewarded by Henry II of France with the dukedom of Châtelherault and the Order of St Michael (which he wears round his neck in this painting) in return for his agreement that Mary, Queen of Scots should marry the Dauphin.

Opposing the queen?s marriage to Darnley, he retired for some years to France, remaining there until 1579, by which time she had been defeated at Langside and had fled to England. Failing to claim the position of Regent to James VI, he supported the queen once more and was imprisoned for a time in Edinburgh Castle. He did not long survive his release, dying at Hamilton on 22 January 1575.
