Scots Members of the French Nobility James Hamilton, 2nd earl of Arran, was regent of Scotland during the minority of Mary Queen of Scots (he was in fact heir presumptive, being her second cousin through his grandmother, and next in line for the throne). The earl of Arran spent a lot of time trying to regain the revenues of his duchy, but his efforts were rebuked: once, during an interview with the king of France, his attempt to bring up the topic of the duchy was abruptly cut short. Moreover, the Conseil d'État accepted the argument that the title was not recreated in abstracto in the Hamilton family, and it cannot be argued that the 1864 decree implied remainders to the heirs of the 1st duke of Hamilton or to the heirs of the 2nd earl of Arran. www.heraldica.org /topics/france/scotfr.htm   (6246 words)
