James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Montrose was one of the giants of Scottish
history due to his role in the 'Wars of the Three |
|
|
|
Kingdoms' in the 17th century. The English Civil
War is the best known of these wars, but |
|
|
|
|
an equally savage civil war was fought in
Scotland during this period. Although initially a |
|
|
|
|
Covenanter,
Montrose later switched his loyalties to the Royalist cause. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It
is not the purpose of this note to provide a biography of Montrose. Readers
who wish to |
|
|
|
know more of his life are referred to his
article in Wikipedia. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suffice
it to say that, after being betrayed to his enemies, Montrose was hanged in
Edinburgh |
|
|
|
on 21 May 1650. As part of the sentence, the
body was left hanging for three hours after |
|
|
|
which it was cut down and dismembered, the
various limbs being distributed among the chief |
|
|
|
towns in Scotland. The trunk was buried beside
the public gallows on the Boroughmuir, the |
|
|
|
usual
place of execution at that time. The head was placed on a spike on the west
face of |
|
|
|
the Tolbooth, where it remained for eleven years
until it was taken down to make room for |
|
|
|
the head of Montrose's bitter enemy, the
Marquess of Argyll. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the Restoration, on 4 January 1661, the
Scottish Parliament voted for "an honourable |
|
|
|
reparation of that horrid and monstrous
barbarity in the person of the great Marquis of |
|
|
|
|
Montrose." As a result, the trunk was
exhumed from the Boroughmuir, and the limbs gathered |
|
|
|
from
the towns to which they had been sent. The remains, wrapped in fine linen in
a |
|
|
|
|
magnificent coffin, were finally buried with
much ceremony on 11 May 1661. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Montrose
had bequeathed his heart to his niece by marriage, Lady Napier. On the night
after |
|
|
|
the execution, Lady Napier sent her servants to
the Boroughmuir, where they dug up Montrose's |
|
|
|
trunk and removed the heart. Once Lady Napier
had received the heart, she had it embalmed, |
|
|
|
and placed in a small egg-shaped case of steel,
made from the blade of Montrose's sword. This |
|
|
|
case was, in turn, enclosed in a gold filigree
box, which had belonged to her husband's kinsman, |
|
|
|
John Napier of Merchistoun, the inventor of
logarithms. The filigree box had originally been given |
|
|
|
to the Napier family by the Doge of Venice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lady Napier sent the box to Montrose's son, the
second Marquess, who duly restored the heart |
|
|
|
to the body when Montrose was buried for the
second time in 1661. The casket, however, now |
|
|
|
became
the subject of a curious romance. After a time, the casket passed out of the |
|
|
|
|
possession
of the family, possibly due to theft, until one day, many years later, a
friend of Lord |
|
|
|
Napier of Merchistoun saw it either in a
curiosity shop in The Hague, or in the collection of a |
|
|
|
Dutchman
- the stories differ on this point - and obtained it for him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On his death, Lord Napier bequeathed the casket
to his daughter Hester, wife of Alexander |
|
|
|
Johnston of Cairnsalloch, an officer of the East
India Company. While sailing to India, the ship |
|
|
|
carrying Mr. and Mrs. Johnston became involved
in a battle with a French squadron off the Cape |
|
|
|
Verde
Islands. During the battle, the filigree casket was struck by a shot and
shattered, but the |
|
|
|
case containing the heart survived intact. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According
to the version of the story upon which this note is based, once arrived in
India, Mrs. |
|
|
|
Johnston
caused a goldsmith to make a box to replace that which had been destroyed,
and this |
|
|
|
in turn was placed in a silver urn, on the
outside of which was engraved, in two native dialects, |
|
|
|
a short account of Montrose's life and death.
The urn soon came to be regarded by the native |
|
|
|
Indians as somewhat of a talisman, with the
almost inevitable result that it was stolen, and |
|
|
|
remained
missing for a lengthy period. Ultimately, evidence was forthcoming that
tended to |
|
|
|
show that the casket was in the possession of an
Indian ruler in the neighbourhood of Madura. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Years went by until a day when Mrs. Johnston's
son, while out shooting, was able to save the |
|
|
|
life of a young boy by killing a tiger that was
about to spring out at the boy. As it happened, |
|
|
|
the boy was the son of the ruler who had
possession of the casket. The chief, in true Oriental |
|
|
|
fashion, offered to give young Johnston any gift
he asked for, and Johnston availed himself of |
|
|
|
the opportunity to beg for the restoration of
the casket, which was freely granted. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The casket was brought home to Europe by Mr. and
Mrs. Johnston in 1792, and, as they |
|
|
|
|
travelled overland through France, they were
arrested by the revolutionary government at |
|
|
|
Boulogne. Mrs. Johnston handed the casket to an
Englishwoman who lived in that city, and |
|
|
|
asked her to care for it until arrangements
could be made for its safe passage to England. |
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the Englishwoman died shortly
afterwards and all trace of the casket was then |
|
|
|
lost, and
has remained lost ever since. |

James Angus Graham, 7th Duke of Montrose |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Dukes of Montrose have been marked by a
degree of eccentricity for several centuries. The |
|
|
|
3rd Duke was credited with obtaining permission
for Highlanders to wear the kilt again after the |
|
|
|
1745 Rebellion. The wife of the 4th Duke
publicly booed Queen Victoria for listening to gossip |
|
|
|
about her husband. The 6th Duke is generally
credited with inventing the aircraft carrier. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
7th Duke was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford and was employed by
Imperial |
|
|
|
Chemical
Industries, but his financial circumstances soon forced him to move to
Salisbury, |
|
|
|
Southern
Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) where he eventually set himself up as a
successful |
|
|
|
farmer on 3,000
acres of land. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When
World War II broke out, he enlisted in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve,
becoming |
|
|
|
commander of the Ludlow, an American lend-lease warship which served on convoy duty in |
|
|
|
the
Atlantic. He insisted that the crew speak Gaelic and kept a jackdaw which sat
on his |
|
|
|
shoulder when summoned. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After
the war, he returned to Southern Rhodesia, where he was disappointed to find
that the |
|
|
|
country's
politics were changing. At the 1953 general election, he stood as a
candidate, |
|
|
|
|
campaigning for the retention of white
domination in the country. When he succeeded to the |
|
|
|
Dukedom in 1954, he preferred to stay in Africa.
In 1958, he was elected to the parliament of |
|
|
|
the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland,
serving over the years as Minister for Agriculture, |
|
|
|
Minister for External Affairs and finally
Minister of Defence. Montrose was one of the signatories |
|
|
|
to the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in
1965. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Montrose
brought to the Rhodesian government appropriately vigorous views on race.
Given |
|
|
|
that he had attended a Nuremberg Rally in Nazi
Germany in the 1930s, this is probably not |
|
|
|
surprising. He once described Africans as being
'bright and promising little fellows up to the |
|
|
|
age of puberty. He then becomes hopelessly
inadequate and it is well known that this is due |
|
|
|
to his almost total obsession with sex.' He also
argued that the ruins of Zimbabwe were far too |
|
|
|
sophisticated to have been produced by Africans. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was often said that Montrose was not
particularly intelligent. When he became Minister for |
|
|
|
Agriculture, it was noted that he was
considerably slower on the uptake than most of the |
|
|
|
Africans about whom he was so contemptuous. When
he was involved in negotiations with |
|
|
|
the UK Wilson government following the
declaration of independence, a joke circulated that it |
|
|
|
took Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith an hour
to explain the British offer to his colleagues, |
|
|
|
who then spent twelve hours trying to explain it
to Montrose. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When it became obvious that Southern Rhodesia
would be ruled by black Africans once it |
|
|
|
|
achieved independence, Montrose moved to South
Africa, before returning to Scotland in 1988. |

Claim to the Barony of Morley, created 1299 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It
is generally accepted in the standard works on the peerage that the barony of
Morley, |
|
|
|
created by writ of summons in 1299, fell into
abeyance on the death of the 15th baron in 1697. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
the late 1890s, a man named James Thorne Roe [1844-1918] emerged to claim
this title. In |
|
|
|
the
usual course of such events, his claim was initially referred to the Attorney
General of the |
|
|
|
day
[Sir Richard Webster, later Viscount Alverstone] who reported so strongly
against the claim |
|
|
|
that it was never referred to the House of Lords
Committee for Privileges. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In December 1901, before the Court of Claims
which had convened to hear applications relating |
|
|
|
to
the forthcoming coronation of King Edward VII, Roe unsuccessfully attempted
to claim that |
|
|
|
he
had the right to attend the coronation as the bearer of the Royal Standard of
England and |
|
|
|
to exercise the office of Marshal of Ireland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the formal opening of Parliament in January
1908, Roe provided himself with the ermine- |
|
|
|
trimmed
robes worn by peers on formal occasions. Just before the royal procession
arrived, he |
|
|
|
entered the House of Lords, having passed the
police and ushers unchallenged and prepared to |
|
|
|
sit with the other peers already present.
However, the sharp-eyed Yeoman Usher of the Black |
|
|
|
Rod
failed to recognise him and summoned the Garter King of Arms, who requested
the man's |
|
|
|
name
and asked him to prove his credentials. Roe replied that he was the Lord de
Morley and |
|
|
|
produced a copy of the original Writ of Summons
issued by Edward I in 1299. Garter King of |
|
|
|
Arms,
knowing that the Barony of de Morley had been in abeyance since 1697, ordered
Roe to |
|
|
|
leave
the House. Roe protested volubly and was thereupon conducted out of the House
by the |
|
|
|
Garter King of Arms and his assistants in full
view of the assembled peers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Roe insisted that he was descended from Sir John
Parker, th eldest of the three sons of Henry |
|
|
|
Parker, who died as 10th Baron Morley in 1556.
It appears, however, that Sir John was born |
|
|
|
out of wedlock and was therefore illegitimate,
thus destroying Roe's claims. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the fact that he was unable to
prove his claim to the peerage, some standard |
|
|
|
reference works gave credence to his claims. For
example, the annual publication "Who's Who" |
|
|
|
included
a lengthy entry for him for some years and, as a result, he appears in the
"Who Was |
|
|
|
Who" volume covering the years 1916-1928. |

Before
he succeeded to the earldom in 1905, this peer was known by the courtesy
title of |
|
|
|
Viscount Boringdon. In October 1903, he was
travelling by sea in the south Pacific on board |
|
|
|
the steamer Ovalau [Ovalau is the name of one of the Fiji islands] when he was
lucky to escape |
|
|
|
with his life. The following account of the loss
of the Ovalau appeared in
the 'Sydney Morning |
|
|
|
Herald' on 3 November 1903:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'[The
passengers] stated emphatically that the experience was awful, and added that
they…… |
|
|
|
had not yet fully recovered from the shock. All
the passengers, they stated, were more or less |
|
|
|
terrified at the time owing to the imminent
danger in which all on board found themselves, |
|
|
|
although the captain [Todd] reassured them. It
was not known exactly how the fire started. |
|
|
|
The
first imtimation received that an outbreak had occurred was by one of the
crew hurrying |
|
|
|
aft
to one of the officers and crying "Fire!" On going to the fore part
of the vessel one of the |
|
|
|
passengers states that he noticed smoke issuing
from the forehold. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
crew were already at work and a line of hose was got out with all haste for
the purpose of |
|
|
|
pouring water on the smouldering mass. The
outbreak, however, increased rapidly, despite all |
|
|
|
efforts
to check it. The hatches were then replaced, but soon the heat became
intense. There |
|
|
|
was a large quantity of copra in this hold, and
being remarkably inflammable on account of the |
|
|
|
coconut oil it contains, the fire gained a
tenacious hold, and despite all the efforts of the crew |
|
|
|
and the passengers, all of whom lent assistance,
the fire continued to increase in size. It raged |
|
|
|
all
night, and great volumes of black smoke found its way out of the hold and
down aft and |
|
|
|
made it almost impossible to breathe on the
steamer. Soon the deck became intensely hot, the |
|
|
|
pitch began to soften, and then suddenly the
whole deck around the hatchway burst into flame. |
|
|
|
All
this time the vessel was ploughing toward Lord Howe Island [in the Tasman
Sea, about 600 |
|
|
|
km east of the Australian mainland], and all on
board became terribly anxious lest the fire should |
|
|
|
completely envelop the vessel before she could
arrive at the island and allow the passengers to |
|
|
|
effect
a landing. Part of the crew were therefore told off by Captain Todd, who had
been |
|
|
|
working
strenuously the whole time, to get all the boats in readiness for immediate
removal. All |
|
|
|
the other hands on board were combating the
fire, which was making progress aft. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'This
was the awful state of affairs as the steamer hove in sight off the island
[i.e. Lord Howe |
|
|
|
Island]. Great tongues of flame and dense clouds
of black smoke from the oily cargo rose high |
|
|
|
above the masts of the ship. As the island was
reached Captain Todd came to the conclusion |
|
|
|
that it was useless to fight the fire any
longer, as it had by this time possession of the greater |
|
|
|
part of the ship, and those on board were
thoroughly exhausted. He therefore ordered all the |
|
|
|
passengers to take to the boats. The firemen in
the hold had stuck heroically to their task of |
|
|
|
keeping steam on the Ovalau, to enable her to make the island. This had been done,
despite |
|
|
|
the awful heat and smoke which filled the
engine-room, almost suffocating them. By great |
|
|
|
perseverance and pluck they had managed to keep
the vessel going. When it was decided to |
|
|
|
abandon the ship the crew were still on the
steamer, and it is surmised that the fire must have |
|
|
|
reached the boiler, as suddenly there was a
large explosion, and burning pieces of wood, scraps |
|
|
|
of iron, and debris generally were whirled past
them. Some of these pieces struck the men. |
|
|
|
When everybody was removed from the steamer she
presented an awful picture. The flames |
|
|
|
spread
from stem to stern, and raged furiously amongst the woodwork. She was
literally a |
|
|
|
roaring furnace, and masses of flame continually
fell from the deck into the water, whilst smoke |
|
|
|
rolled away for miles astern. When the fire was
at its height the vessel seemed to gradually |
|
|
|
settle down. Suddenly there was a terrific
hissing, as the red-hot plates of the hull came into |
|
|
|
contact with the water. Clouds of white steam
rose all around her, and with a fearful noise |
|
|
|
and repeated explosions the whole ship suddenly
disappeared beneath the water. The sea was |
|
|
|
soon strewn with thousands of pieces of charred
wood and debris, which was plainly visible from |
|
|
|
the shore.' |

The crew and passengers were picked up at Lord
Howe Island and subsequently transferred to |
|
|
|
Sydney. Included in the report is an interview
with Lord Boringdon, which states:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Viscount
Boringdon, who is returning from an excursion to the Solomon Islands when
seen by a |
|
|
|
reporter of the "Herald" on board the Captain Cook this morning, said
that soon after the |
|
|
|
|
outbreak the passengers of the Ovalau were informed that there
was a fire on board, but owing |
|
|
|
to the presence of mind of Captain Todd and the
officers nobody apprehended any danger |
|
|
|
whatever, and there was not the slightest alarm.
Of course, Lord Boringdon continued, I do not |
|
|
|
know anything about the origin of the fire, but
we were all glad to get ashore safely, and I am |
|
|
|
glad
to say that no one was injured, although we were extremely sorry that the
good ship |
|
|
|
foundered. The scene of the burning Ovalau from the shore after we
had landed was |
|
|
|
|
magnificent, but we all felt grieved at her
destruction.' |
