James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell

James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, English husband of Mary, Queen of Scots (b. 1534)
James Hepburn, 1st Duke of Orkney and 4th Earl of Bothwell (c. 1534 – 14 April 1578), better known simply as Lord Bothwell, was a prominent Scottish nobleman. He was known for his association with, abduction of, and marriage to Mary, Queen of Scots, as her third and final husband. He was accused of the murder of Mary's second husband, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, a charge of which he was acquitted. His marriage to Mary was controversial and divided the country; when he fled the growing rebellion to Norway he was arrested and lived the rest of his life imprisoned in Denmark.
