Douglas, James - 1715

James Douglas, second duke of Queensberry (1662-1711) was educated at Glasgow University. Initially in a royalist cavalry regiment, he joined William III in 1688. James was one of the politicians involved in securing the act of Union. However he kept his options open and was in correspondence with the Old Pretender James VIII. His political career was almost ended when he was double-crossed by the nefarious Jacobite plotter Simon Fraser, lord Lovat in 1703. Queen Anne said of James: ‘it grates my soul to take a man into my service that has not only betrayed me, but tricked me several times, one that has been obnoxious to his own countrymen.’ (Anne, Queen of Great Britain, The letters and diplomatic instructions of Queen Anne, letter iv to Godolphin, June 14, 1705, p.160) However, despite her reservations, her advisers persuaded her that he was a necessary evil and he was appointed as one of the Commissioners to treat for union in 1706. The money sent north from Westminster to ease the passage of the union bill through parliament led Robert Burns to pen the words ‘we were bought and sold for English gold’ in his song Parcel o’ Rogues. In comparison to the sort of bribes that were passed around at the time it was relatively ‘small beer’. The real rewards were the peerages to be obtained south of the border. For his pains James was created duke of Dover, marquis of Beverly and earl of Ripon in 1708. In 1686 James bought Queensberry house in the Canongate of Edinburgh as his city residence. This spectacular building was later sold and converted into barracks, and even a geriatric hospital. It is now in the complex of buildings of the new Scottish Parliament and will be renewed to its former splendour. It also has a darker side. Whilst the duke was out celebrating his parliamentary victory he left a serving boy to turn a large cut of beef on a spit to roast. On his return he discovered that his mentally ill son, who was kept confined in the bowels of the building, had managed to escape and was feasting on the roasted flesh – of the spit boy!

James Douglas, 2nd Duke of Queensberry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Douglas%2C_2nd_Duke_of_Queensberry

James Douglas, 2nd Duke of Queensberry and 1st Duke of Dover (18 December 1662 - 6 July 1711), was a Scottish nobleman.

He was the eldest son of William Douglas, 1st Duke of Queensberry and his wife Isabel Douglas, daughter of William Douglas, 1st Marquess of Douglas.

Educated at the University of Glasgow, he was appointed a Scottish Privy Counsellor in 1684, and was lieutenant-colonel of Dundee's regiment of horse. He joined William III in 1688 and was appointed colonel of the 6th Horse Guards Regiment.

He was appointed Lord High Treasurer of Scotland from 1693 and Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland from 1695 to 1702. He was Lord High Commissioner to the Parliament of Scotland in 1700, 1702 and 1703, in which role he procured the abandonment of the Darién scheme.

He was appointed a Knight of the Garter in 1701, and was Secretary of State from 1702. He encouraged the Jacobites by his undecided attitude on the question of the settlement, and was deluded into unconsciously furthering the Jacobite designs of Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat. He withdrew from government in 1704.

He was reinstated as Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland in 1705, was a commissioner of the estates in 1706, and procured the signing of the Treaty of Union. He was Secretary of State for Scotland from 1709 until his death.

He was created Duke of Dover, Marquess of Beverley and Earl of Ripon in 1708, and appointed to the British Privy Council in the same year.

Queensberry House in Edinburgh is today part of the Scottish Parliament Building
