		Catherine Gordon of Gight - north of Aberdeen in the valley of Ythan - could claim descent from King James I, although the poet was to be more exercised by his Byron progenitors.
		Turbulent marriage and numerous bi-sexual amours underline the extent to which his "Mad Jack" and "Wicked Lord" antecedents were foregrounded in an extraordinary personality in which the pride of his Gordon blood and the liberal sympathies of his mother played their part.
