	Maxwell - LoveToKnow 1911
		MAXWELL, the name of a Scottish family, members of which have held the titles of earl of Morton, earl of Nithsdale, Lord Maxwell, and Lord Herries.
		After the execution of the regent Morton, the 4th earl, in 1581 this earldom was bestowed upon Maxwell, but in 1586 the attainder of the late earl was reversed and he was deprived of his new title.
		William Hamilton Maxwell (1792-1850), the Irish novelist, wrote, in addition to several novels, a Life of the Duke of Wellington (1839-1841 and again 1883), and a History of the Irish Rebellion in 1798 (1845 and 1891).

	Maxwell Lord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maxwell Lord is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe.
		Lord's ruthlessness at this time was illustrated when he set up a disturbed would-be terrorist as a villain for the League to defeat, resulting in the man's death.
		It is possible Lord regained his powers as one of the side-effects of Superboy Prime "punching" the universe and changing history; this may also explain his character change from hero to villain, as might influence by Alexander Luthor and/or the Psycho-Pirate.

	The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border - Lord Maxwell's Goodnight
		A.D. 1585, John Lord Maxwell, or, as he styled himself, Earl of Morton, having quarreled with the Earl of Arran, reigning favourite of James VI, and fallen, of course, under the displeasure of the court, was denounced rebel.
		Lord Maxwell was therefore prohibited to approach the Border counties; and having, in contempt of that mandate, excited new disturbances, he was confined in the castle of Edinburgh.
		Lord Maxwell, the murderer, made his escape to France; but having ventured to return to Scotland, he was apprehended lurking in the wilds of Caithness, and brought to trial at Edinburgh.

	Maxwell-Johnstone Feud
		Although Lord Maxwell was reluctant to end the uneasy peace which had developed between the two families and rekindle the feud, he assembled 2,000 armed horsemen late in 1593 and, displaying the King's banner, invaded the mountainous district of Annandale, land of the Johnstones.
		The next Lord Maxwell was not quite as quick to forgive as the King, however; he grew up vengeful and unforgiving, leading several devastating raids against the Johnstones.
		Sir James Johnstone met the new Lord Maxwell, son of the chief who was killed at Dryfe Sands, in a meeting “under trust.” Each chief brought only one additional clansman, and the two retainers withdrew a short distance to let the chiefs talk privately.

		Lord Maxwell declared that he was willing to overlook the past, should Johnstone show any corresponding inclination, and would be ready to meet him with a view to their reconciliation.

	Maxwell
		As was usual with border families, the chiefs of the Maxwells were by no means consistent in their course or steady in the allegiance to the Scottish crown; however, they contrived in the end to be on the winning side, and honours, offices and estates continued to accumulate in the family.
		In 1513, John the fourth Lord Maxwell and three of his brothers fell at Floddon, and he was succeeded by his eldest son Robert who grew to be one of the most prominent and ablest men of his age.
		Johnstone was courted on all sides: by the English, fearful of Maxwells power on the border; by the Regent, who harbored a claim to the lands of Morton; and by the thieves and brigands of the Middle Marches whose activities were curtailed by Maxwell in his Warden role.
