James Kirkcaldy of Grange (d. 1556), a member of an old Fifeshire See also:family. Sir James was See also:lord high treasurer of See also:Scotland from 1537 to 1543 and was a determined opponent of See also:Cardinal See also:Beaton, for whose See also:murder in 1546 he was partly responsible. William Kirkcaldy assisted to See also:compass this murder, and when the See also:castle of St See also:Andrews surrendered to the See also:French in See also:July 1547 he was sent as a prisoner to See also:Normandy, whence he escaped in 1550. He was then employed in See also:France as a See also:secret See also:agent by the advisers of See also:Edward VI., being known in the cyphers as Corax; and later he served in the French See also:army, where he gained a lasting reputation for skill and bravery. The See also:sentence passed on Kirkcaldy for his See also:share in Beaton's murder was removed in 1556, and returning to Scotland in 1557 he came quickly to the front; as a See also:Protestant he was one of the leaders of the lords of the See also:congregation in their struggle with the See also:regent, See also:Mary of See also:Lorraine, and he assisted to harass the French troops in See also:Fife: He opposed See also:Queen Mary's See also:marriage with See also:Darnley, being associated at this See also:- TIME (0.

Hill the queen surrendered herself to Kirkcaldy, and his generalship was mainly responsible for her defeat at Langside.,
He seems, however, to have believed that an arrangement with Mary was possible, and coming under the See also:influence of See also:Maitland of Lethington, whom in See also:September 1569 he released by a strata-See also:gem from his confinement in See also:Edinburgh, he was soon " vehemently suspected of his See also:fellows." After the murder of Murray Kirkcaldy ranged himself definitely among the See also:friends of the imprisoned queen. About this time he forcibly released one of his supporters from imprisonment, a step which led to an alter-cation with his former friend See also:John See also:Knox, who called him a " murderer and See also:throat-cutter." Defying the regent See also:Lennox, Kirkcaldy began to strengthen the fortifications of Edinburgh castle, of which he was See also:governor, and which he held for Mary, and See also:early in 1 573 he refused to come to an agreement with the regent See also:Morton because the terms of See also:peace did not include a See also:section of his friends. After this some See also:English troops arrived to help the Scots, and in May 1573 the castle surrendered. Strenuous efforts were made to See also:save Kirkcaldy from the vengeance of his foes, but they were unavailing; Knox had prophesied that he would be hanged, and he was hanged on the 3rd of See also:August
1573.
