Montrose, James Graham, 1st marquis of [S] (1612–50). Montrose was the most brilliant commander on the royalist side during the Civil War and a ray of hope for a sinking cause. In 1639 he joined the covenanters but changed sides. He joined the king at Oxford, was raised to marquis in 1644, and appointed to command the king's forces in Scotland, such as they were. His speed of movement, courage, and tactical skill won him a series of remarkable victories —at
Tippermuir September 1644),
Aberdeen September 1644),
Inverlochy February 1645),
Auldearn May 1645),
Alford July 1645), and
Kilsyth August 1645). But no man could defy the odds for ever. At
Philiphaugh in September 1645 he was beaten, and forced to flee abroad. Returning in 1650 with a forlorn hope, he was defeated at
Carbisdale, betrayed, and hanged at Edinburgh in May.
