king, he joined See also:Montrose in Scotland in 1644 and was one of the royalist leaders at the battle of See also:Kilsyth. The destruction of the earl's castles of Airlie and of Forther in 164o by the earl of See also:Argyll, who " left him not in all his lands a See also:cock to See also:crow See also:day," gave rise to the See also:song " The bonny See also:house o'Airlie." His eldest son, James, the 2nd earl (c. 1615—c. 1704) also fought among the royalists in Scotland; in 1644 he was taken prisoner, but he was released in the following See also:year as a consequence of Montrose's victory at Kilsyth.

time in 165r, and was in the See also:Tower of See also:London during most of the years of the See also:Commonwealth. He was a fairly prominent man under Charles II. and James II., and in 1689 he ranged himself on the See also:side of William of See also:Orange. This earl's grandson, James Ogilvy (d. 1731), took part in the Jacobite rising of 1715 and was attainted; consequently on his father's death in 1717 he was not allowed to succeed to the earldom, although he was pardoned in 1725. When he died his See also:brother John (d. 1761) became earl de jure, and John's son See also:David (1725—1803) joined the See also:standard of See also:Prince Charles See also:Edward in 1745. He was attainted, and after the defeat of the prince at See also:Culloden escaped to See also:Norway and See also:Sweden, afterwards serving in the See also:French See also:army, where he commanded " le See also:regiment Ogilvy" and was known as " le See also:bel Ecossais." In 1778 he was pardoned and was allowed to return to Scotland, and his family became See also:extinct when his son David died unmarried in See also:April 1812. After this event David's See also:cousin, another David Ogilvy(1785-1849), claimed the earldom. He asserted that he was unaffected by the two attainders, but the House of Lords decided that these barred his See also:succession; however, in 1826 the attainders were reversed by See also:act of parliament and David became 6th earl of Airlie. He died on the loth of See also:August 1849 and was succeeded by his son, David See also:Graham See also:Drummond Ogilvy (1826—1881), who was a Scottish representative peer for over See also:thirty years. The latter's son, David See also:Stanley William Drummond Ogilvy, the 8th earl (1856—1900), served in See also:Egypt in 1882 and 1885, and was killed on the rrth of See also:June 1900 during the See also:Boer See also:War while at the head of his regiment, the 12th Lancers. His titles then passed to his son, David Lyulph See also:Gore See also:Wolseley Ogilvy, the 9th earl (b. 1843).
A word may be said about other noteworthy members of the Ogilvy family. John Ogilvy, called Powrie Ogilvy, was a See also:political adventurer who professed to serve King James VI. as a See also:spy and who certainly served William See also:Cecil in this capacity. Mariota Ogilvy (d. 1575) was the See also:mistress of See also:Cardinal See also:Beaton. Sir See also:George Ogilvy (d. 1663), a supporter of Charles I. during the struggle with the See also:Covenanters, was created a peer as lord of See also:Banff in 1642; this dignity became dormant, or extinct, on the death of his descendant, William Ogilvy, the 8th lord, in June 1803. Sir George Ogilvy of See also:Barras (d. c. 1679) defended Dunnottar Castle against Cromwell in 1651 and 1652, and was instrumental in preventing the See also:regalia of Scotland from falling into his hands; in 166o he was created a See also:baronet, the See also:title becoming extinct in 1837.
