On the 17th of the same month the lordship of Bothwell was erected into an Earldom in his favour, and he was belted Earl of Bothwell in full Parliament.

On 6th March 1492 he had a charter of the lands and lordship of Liddesdale, with Hermitage Castle, etc., upon the resignation of the same by Archibald Douglas, Earl of Angus, the latter getting the lordship of Bothwell [but not the Earldom] which Patrick in turn resigned.

Patrick Hepburn, 1st Earl of Bothwell, was Captain of Dumbarton castle on April 1, 1495.

He was one of the plenipotentiaries sent to conclude the treaty for the marriage of King James IV with Princess Margaret Tudor of England in October 1501, and he stood proxy for the King at the ceremony of betrothal on 25 January 1502.

George Seton, 6th Lord Seton From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Seton,_6th_Lord_Seton

George Seton IV, 6th Lord Seton (died 1549) was a Lord of the Parliament of Scotland. He was the son of Jean Hepburn, daughter of Patrick Hepburn, 1st Earl of Bothwell. His father, the 5th Lord Seton was killed at the battle of Flodden and George's mother survived her husband by 45 years till 1558, managing the family's interests. When George came of age she joined the Convent of St Catherine at Sciennes in Edinburgh. After her son's death in 1549, she arranged the marriage of two of her granddaughters.[1] George Seton was appointed an Extraordinary Lord of Session on 5 March 1542. Like many Scottish nobles he gave his assent to the marriage proposed between Mary, Queen of Scots and Prince Edward of England in 1543. In that year, Seton was given custody of Cardinal Beaton who opposed the English marriage, but Seton allowed the Cardinal to escape. He died in 1549, and was first buried at Culross Abbey as Seton Collegiate Church was in the occupied zone during the war of the Rough Wooing. The English had burnt Seton Palace and the church in May 1548.[2] Sir Richard Maitland, who had worked for the family in their legal affairs, began his History of the House of Seytoun at the request of the 6th Lord Seton, the fourth George of that name, but finished the work in the lifetime of his son George Seton, 7th Lord Seton.[3] [edit]Elizabeth Hay

George first married Elizabeth Hay, daughter of John Hay, 3rd Lord Hay of Yester. They had seven children; George Seton, 7th Lord Seton, married Isobel Hamilton, daughter of William Hamilton of Sanquhar. John Seton, who married Isobel Balfour, heiress of Carrauldstoun in Fife.[4] Janet, died aged 2. Marion Seton, married firstly John Graham, Earl of Menteith, by whom she had five children and secondly John, Earl of Sutherland. Margaret Seton, married; firstly, Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig, without issue; secondly David Hamilton of Ladyflat. Beatrix Seton, married George Ogilvy of Banff, heir of Sir Walter Ogilvy of Dunlugus. Ancestors of Theodore Roosevelt[5]. Heleanor Seton, married Hugh, Master of Somerville. [edit]Marie Pieris

George married secondly Marie Pieris, a French lady-in-waiting of Mary of Guise after handfasting at Falkland Palace in February 1539.[6] A grant from Mary, Queen of Scots to Marie in 1565 was addressed to "Dame Marie Pier, Lady Seytoun and Brieane."[7] The couple were given a charter of the lands of Winchburgh and East Niddry on 27 June 1548. Marie's father wrote to Mary of Guise from Le Plessis Badouin in France. An undated letter survives from Marie to Mary of Guise, written from Niddry Castle, wherein she warns her that Lord Seton had heard of a plot by Regent Arran to seize the infant Queen.[8] George and Marie had children Robert, James and Mary Seton.[9] On 29 August 1570, Marie and her son Robert were arrested for giving letters for Mary, Queen of Scots, to a messenger, John Moon. They were put on trial in Tolbooth at Edinburgh, on the charge that their letters denied the authority of James VI of Scotland and his representatives. They were released on their promise they would not write to Queen Mary again.[10] [edit]References
