	Finegand 5
		John's contention was that the wadset had not been redeemed within the term, and that consequently the wadsetted lands had become his absolute property, together with the royal "letters" which applied to them.
		The supplication of the earl and his son, as narrated in one of the Act seems to ignore this contention, and proceeds as if John had had no rights whatever, of wadset or otherwise, in respect of the lands.
		The conclusion therefore must be that in deciding against him the Estates were actuated by considerations of political partisanship rather than of law and equity: indeed that this was expected seems evident from the fact that the case was brought before Parliament instead of before an ordinary court of law.

	Origins of the Bothwell Surname
		The name Bothwell is of Gaelic or Celtic origin and probably was used to describe people from the lordship of Bothwell, located near Glasgow some 9 miles (14 km) E of Uddingston in the South Lanarkshire region of Scotland.
		There are several theories to explain the origin of the name, including one rather fanciful one about how Archibald "The Grim," third Earl of Douglas, was prompted by remorse to found the Collegiate Church of St. Bride in 1398.
		However, since Bothwell Castle, where the Earl resided at that time, long predated the founding of the church, the story is clearly apocryphal.
