Notes:
                   Sir George became the Lord High Chancellor of the kingdom. He wasapointed a
General to Her Majesty's (Queen Mary's) forces. During Queen Mary;scaptivity
in England, Huntly continued as a dutiful and loyal subject anddefended her
cause to the last extremity.
The loyalty of the Gordon family to their Prince has always beenconstant,
and no Gordon is mentioned to have bore arms in any faction or partyopposite
to the supreme authority, whether swayed by the kings themselves, ormanaged
by regents.
