Encyclopedia > Duke of Kintyre and Lorne

Robert Bruce Stuart, Duke of Kintyre (18 January 1602—27 May 1602) was the fifth child of King James I of England and Anne of Denmark. On 2 May 1602 he was created Duke of Kintyre, Marquess of Wigton, Earl of Carrick, and Lord Annandale, all in the Peerage of Scotland. On his death, at the age of five months, all his titles, created only 25 days earlier, became extinct.

Kintyre was still Catholic MacDonald country till 1609 and the Seventh Earl of Argyll who became the feudal Lord of that ancient clan had married a Catholic lady in 1610, and can have had little interest in enforcing the reformed religion.
There is further evidence of the existence of the Protestant religion in Kintyre though it is worth remarking that the Act of 1562 by which a third of ecclesiastical benefices were appropriated to the Crown for the purpose, amongst others, of paying the clergy, did not apply to Argyll and the Isles.
Kintyre did not suffer like the Southwest mainland during “the killing times” but in 1665 two leading elders William Ralston and Colonel Halket were arrested and imprisoned for some two years in Dumbarton Castle.
