Titles

He became the ninth earl in 1663 (on the earldom's restoration after a dissolution two years earlier following the execution of his father for treason). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in October 1663.

Religion

• Protestant.

Occupation

He lost his position on the council, in manoeuvres and prevarications on oath-taking. The hostility of James and others pursued the matter into a court case. As a consequence Argyll was put in trial, on 12 December 1681, before Queensberry and four other judges.

On 22 December the king's letter reached the council; and, questionably, sentence of death as well as of forfeiture was pronounced in Argyll's absence on the 23rd.

His estates were confiscated, and his hereditary jurisdictions assigned to Atholl. Born 1629^[2]

Death

He escaped but was executed on 30 June 1685 A, like his father, on the maiden in Edinburgh. He was later interred in Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Burial: 30 Jun 1685, Kilmun, Argyle, Scotland, Great Britain.^[3]
