He was a nobleman of great accomplishments. He took part in a naval expedition against the Swedes in 1502 and at a tournament held in 1508 he was the champion archer on foot or horse in all of Scotland. In 1503, he was created Earl of Arran, the Gaelic-speaking island in the Forth of Clyde on which the family then made their home at Brodick Castle. Janet Beaton was his 2nd marriage. He was divorced from Elizabeth Home. He acceded 11 Aug 1503
Privy Councillor, Admiral of the Scottish Fleet 1513, Lord of Regency under the Duke of Albany 1517, commanded the Royal army against the Earl of Lennox Sep 1526. He is supposed to have married 1st 1490 and is believed to have divorced her subsequently in 1504 on the grounds that the Master, although believed to be dead, was actually alive at the critical time. (In fact, the Master had married in 1483 Elizabeth Borthwick, who was alive at the time of his death, so the grounds for the divorce appear suspicious, even though it was confirmed four years later)
