king to See also:London in 1603 and was made Lord Balmerino, or Balmerinoch, in 1604. In 1605 he became See also:president of the See also:court of session, but his ardour for the See also:Roman See also:Catholic See also:religion brought about his overthrow. In 1599 on the king's behalf, but without the king's knowledge, he had sent a See also:letter to See also:Clement VIII. in which he addressed the See also:pope in very cordial terms. A copy of this letter having been seen by See also:Elizabeth, the See also:English See also:queen asked James for an explanation, whereupon both the king and the secretary declared it was a See also:forgery. There the See also:matter rested until ,6o8, when the existence of the letter was again referred to during some controversy between James and See also:Cardinal See also:Bellarmine. Interrogated afresh Balmerino admitted that he had written the compromising letter, that he had surreptitiously obtained the king's See also:signature, and that afterwards he had added the full titles of the pope. In See also:March 1609 he was tried, attainted and sentenced to See also:death, but after a brief imprisonment he was released and he died at Balmerino in See also:July 16,2.
Balmerino's See also:elder son See also:JOHN (d. 1649) was permitted to take his See also:father's See also:title in 1613. In 1634 he was imprisoned for his opposition. to See also:Charles I. in See also:Scotland, and by a See also:bare See also:majority of the See also:jury he was found guilty of " leasing-making " and was sentenced to death. But popular sympathy was strongly in his favour; the poet See also:Drummond of Hawthornden and others interceded for him, and after much hesitation Charles pardoned him. Balmerino, however, did not desist from his opposition to the king. A See also:chief among the See also:Covenanters and a trusted counsellor of the See also:marquess of See also:Argyll, he presided over the celebrated See also:parliament which met in See also:Edinburgh in See also:August 1641, and was one of the Scottish commissioners who visited See also:England in 1644. He died in See also:February 1649 and was succeeded as 3rd lord by his son JOHN (1623—1704), who in 1669 inherited from his See also:uncle James the title of Lord Coupar. John's son JOHN, 4th Lord Balmerino (1652—1736), was a lawyer of some repute and, although a sturdy opponent of the See also:Union, was a Scottish representative peer in 1710 and 1713. John's son See also:ARTHUR (1688—1746) who became 6th Lord Balmerino on the death of his See also:half-See also:brother John in See also:January 1746, is famous as a Jacobite. He joined the partisans of James See also:Edward, the Old Pretender, after the See also:battle of See also:Sheriffmuir in See also:November 1715, and then lived for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng.
