Титул в пэрстве Шотландии
Lord Borthwick is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. Alexander Nisbet relates that "the first of this ancient and noble family came from Hungary to Scotland, in the retinue of Queen Margaret, in the reign of Malcolm Canmore, anno Domini 1057. A Thomas de Borthwick is mentioned in a charter of Sir Robert Lauder of Quarrelwood, in the reign of King Alexander II." Sir William de Borthwick of that Ilk was created a Lord of Parliament as Lord Borthwick, (William Borthwick, 1st Lord Borthwick), but it is unclear exactly when the title was created. Nisbet states: "there appears no patent in the records constituting this peerage". Anderson supposes it dates from "about 1424", Brown says 1438, Leeson gives 1452, and Burke's and Pine actually give an exact date: June 12, 1452. However, Alexander Nisbet, writing as far back as 1722 states: "this family was dignified with the title of Lord Borthwick in the beginning of the reign of King James II" which commenced in 1437, which is closer to Brown's assertion. In the Parliament of 1469 held at Edinburgh by King James III of Scotland Lord Borthwick was ranked after the Lord Halyburton (cr.1441). In the parliament of 1471 he is the fourth Lord of Parliament ranked immediately after the Lord Glamis (cr.1445). The chronology of the Lords Borthwick also presents problems as of the first seven, six were named William. Of the first Lord, Burke's (1999) merely states: "knighted before his father in 1430; one of the magnates who according to contemporary records habitually plundered the Customs. Married and left issue". Anderson states "the first Lord Borthwick died before 1458". His son, the second Lord (William Borthwick, 2nd Lord Borthwick), was an ambassador to England as well as Master of the Household to King James III. He was succeeded by his son, the third Lord (William Borthwick, 3rd Lord Borthwick), who some say was one of the many Scottish noblemen killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513 although the Complete Peerage cited by Pine stated "this was unlikely". His son, the fourth Lord (William Borthwick, 4th Lord Borthwick), became guardian to the infant King James V.
The ninth Lord, was a Royalist during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. However, on his death in 1675 the male line of the third Lord failed. The Borthwick estates passed to his nephew John Dundas, son of his sister Margaret Borthwick, while the lordship became dormant. It was to remain dormant for the next 87 years. The right to the title, however, passed to the late Lord's kinsman and male heir William Borthwick, the de jure tenth Lord. He was the son of William Borthwick, 5th of Soltray (Soutra) and Johnstonburn, elder son of William Borthwick, 4th of Soltray and Johnstonburn, great grandson of William Borthwick, 1st of Soltray, son of the Hon. Alexander Borthwick, third son of the second Lord Borthwick. He never assumed the title. His son, the de jure eleventh Lord, was a colonel in the army and was killed at the Battle of Ramillies in 1706. On his death the right to the lordship passed to his cousin Henry Borthwick, the de jure twelfth Lord. He was the grandson of Alexander Borthwick, younger son of the aforementioned William Borthwick, 4th of Soltray and Johnstonburn. Henry was a captain in the Scottish army and like his cousin fought at the Battle of Ramillies. He died from wounds received in action four days after the battle (and four days after his cousin). On his death the right to the lordship passed to his elder son William, de jure thirteenth Lord, and then to his younger brother Henry. The latter's claim to the title was admitted by the House of Lords in 1762, and he became the fourteenth Lord Borthwick. However, on his death in 1772 the peerage became dormant again. The claim now passed to the late Lord's kinsman and male heir Patrick Borthwick, the de jure fifteenth Lord. He was the great grandson of Alexander Borthwick, 1st of Reidhall and Sauchnell, younger son of William Borthwick, 3rd of Soltray and Johnstonburne, grandson of William Borthwick, 1st of Soltray, cited above. His son Archibald, the de jure sixteenth Lord, petitioned the House of Lords for the right to claim the title in 1808 but was unsuccessful. His son Patrick, de jure seventeenth Lord, was also unsuccessful when he tried to claim the title in 1816. However, his younger son Cunninghame had his claim to the lordship allowed by the House of Lords in 1870 and he became the nineteenth Lord Borthwick. From 1880 to 1885 he sat in the House of Lords as a Scottish Representative Peer. He married Alice Day, their eldest daughter was Gabrielle Borthwick, their son, the twentieth Lord, was a Scottish Representative Peer between 1906 and 1910. When he died in 1910 the peerage once again became dormant. The claim passed to his distant relative William Henry Borthwick, the de jure twenty first Lord. He was a descendant of John Borthwick, 1st of Crookston, younger son of the first Lord. His grandson John Henry Stuart Borthwick had his claim to the title admitted by the Lord Lyon in 1986, and he became the twenty third Lord Borthwick. as of 2017 this ancient title is held by his elder twin son, the twenty fourth Lord Borthwick, who succeeded in 1996. He is Chief of Clan Borthwick and also holds the feudal titles of Baron of Heriotmuir and Laird of Crookston. The family seat is Borthwick Castle, near Borthwick, Midlothian but is leased as a venue for hire by the family.
Лорд Бортвик – титул в пэрстве Шотландии. Александр Нисбет сообщает, что "первый из этого древнего и знатного рода прибыл из Венгрии в Шотландию в свите королевы Маргарет во время правления Малкольма III, в 1057 году. Томас де Бортвик упоминается в хартии сэра Роберта Лаудера из Кваррелуда, в правление короля Александра II". Сэр Уильям де Бортвик из того же рода был возведен в достоинство лорда парламента как лорд Бортвик (Уильям Бортвик, 1-й лорд Бортвик), однако точная дата создания титула неизвестна. Нисбет утверждает: "в реестрах не обнаружено патента, учреждающего это пэрство". Андерсон предполагает, что титул датируется "около 1424 года", Браун – 1438 годом, Лисон – 1452 годом, а Берк и Пайн указывают точную дату: 12 июня 1452 года. Однако Александр Нисбет, писавший еще в 1722 году, заявляет: "этот род был удостоен титула лорда Бортвика в начале правления короля Якова II", которое началось в 1437 году, что ближе к утверждению Брауна. В парламенте 1469 года, проходившем в Эдинбурге под председательством короля Шотландии Якова III, лорд Бортвик занимал место после лорда Галибуртона (учрежден в 1441 году). В парламенте 1471 года он был четвертым лордом парламента, сразу после лорда Гламиса (учрежден в 1445 году). Хронология лордов Бортвиков также вызывает вопросы, поскольку из первых семи шестеро носили имя Уильям. О первом лорде в книге Берка (1999) лишь говорится: "был посвящен в рыцари до своего отца в 1430 году; один из магнатов, которые, согласно современным записям, систематически грабили таможенные сборы. Женился и оставил потомство". Андерсон утверждает, что "первый лорд Бортвик умер до 1458 года". Его сын, второй лорд (Уильям Бортвик, 2-й лорд Бортвик), был послом в Англии и хозяином дома короля Якова III. Ему наследовал его сын, третий лорд (Уильям Бортвик, 3-й лорд Бортвик), который, по некоторым сведениям, был одним из многих шотландских дворян, погибших в битве при Флоддене в 1513 году, хотя в Complete Peerage, цитируемом Пайном, указано, что "это маловероятно". Его сын, четвертый лорд (Уильям Бортвик, 4-й лорд Бортвик), стал опекуном малолетнего короля Якова V. Девятый лорд был роялистом во время Войн трех королевств. Однако после его смерти в 1675 году пресеклась мужская линия третьего лорда. Имения Бортвиков перешли к его племяннику Джону Дандасу, сыну его сестры Маргарет Бортвик, а титул лорда стал бездействующим. Он оставался бездействующим в течение следующих 87 лет. Право на титул, однако, перешло к родственнику покойного лорда и наследнику мужского пола Уильяму Бортвику, де-юре десятому лорду. Он был сыном Уильяма Бортвика, 5-го из Солтрея и Джонстонберна, старшего сына Уильяма Бортвика, 4-го из Солтрея и Джонстонберна, правнука Уильяма Бортвика, 1-го из Солтрея, сына достопочтенного Александра Бортвика, третьего сына второго лорда Бортвика. Он так и не принял титул. Его сын, де-юре одиннадцатый лорд, был полковником в армии и погиб в битве при Рамилье в 1706 году. После его смерти право на титул перешло к его кузену Генри Бортвику, де-юре двенадцатому лорду. Он был внуком Александра Бортвика, младшего сына вышеупомянутого Уильяма Бортвика, 4-го из Солтрея и Джонстонберна. Генри был капитаном в шотландской армии и, как и его кузен, сражался в битве при Рамилье. Он умер от ран, полученных в бою, через четыре дня после битвы (и через четыре дня после своего кузена). После его смерти право на титул перешло к его старшему сыну Уильяму, де-юре тринадцатому лорду, а затем к его младшему брату Генри. Последнее требование к титулу было признано Палатой лордов в 1762 году, и он стал четырнадцатым лордом Бортвиком. Однако после его смерти в 1772 году пэрство снова стало бездействующим. Право перешло к родственнику покойного лорда и наследнику Патрику Бортвику, де-юре пятнадцатому лорду. Он был правнуком Александра Бортвика, 1-го из Рейдхолла и Сочнелла, младшего сына Уильяма Бортвика, 3-го из Солтрея и Джонстонберна, внука Уильяма Бортвика, 1-го из Солтрея, упомянутого выше. Его сын Арчибальд, де-юре шестнадцатый лорд, обратился в Палату лордов с просьбой о признании его права на титул в 1808 году, но безуспешно. Его сын Патрик, де-юре семнадцатый лорд, также потерпел неудачу, когда попытался претендовать на титул в 1816 году. Однако его младший сын Каннингхэм получил признание своего права на титул лорда в 1870 году и стал девятнадцатым лордом Бортвиком. С 1880 по 1885 год он заседал в Палате лордов в качестве шотландского представительного пэра. Он женился на Алисе Дэй, их старшая дочь – Габриэль Бортвик, их сын, двадцатый лорд, был шотландским представительным пэром с 1906 по 1910 год. После его смерти в 1910 году пэрство снова стало бездействующим. Право перешло к его дальнему родственнику Уильяму Генри Бортвику, де-юре двадцать первому лорду. Он был потомком Джона Бортвика, 1-го из Крукстона, младшего сына первого лорда. Его внук Джон Генри Стюарт Бортвик получил признание своего права на титул от Лорда Льва в 1986 году и стал двадцать третьим лордом Бортвиком. По состоянию на 2017 год этот древний титул принадлежит его старшему сыну-близнецу, двадцать четвертому лорду Бортвику, который вступил в права в 1996 году. Он является главой клана Бортвик и также обладает феодальными титулами барона Гериотмура и лэрда Крукстона. Резиденция семьи – замок Бортвик, недалеко от Бортвика, Мидлотьян, но он сдается в аренду как площадка для мероприятий.
