James V. of Scotland by See also:Margaret, See also:Erskine, daughter of See also:John Erskine, See also:earl of See also:Mar
.
In 1538 he was appointed See also:prior of the See also:abbey of St See also:Andrews in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order that James V. might obtain See also:possession of its funds
.
Educated at St Andrews University, he attacked, in See also:September 1549, an See also:English force which had made a descent on the See also:Fife See also:coast, and routed it with See also:great slaughter
.
In addition to the priory of St Andrews, he received those also of Pittenweem and See also:Macon in See also:France, but manifested no vocation
for a monastic See also:life
.
The discourses of See also:Knox, which he heard at See also:Calder, won his approval, and shortly after the return of the reformer to Scotland in 1559, James See also:Stuart See also:left the party of the See also:queen regent and joined the lords of the See also:congregation, who resolved forcibly to abolish the See also:Roman service
.
After the return of Queen See also:Mary in 1561, he became her See also:chief adviser, and his cautious firmness was for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time effectual in inducing her to adopt a policy of moderation towards the reformers

At the beginning of x 562 he was created earl of See also:- MURRAY

Murray, a dignity also held by See also:George See also:Gordon, earl of See also:Huntly, who, however, had lost the queen's favour
.
Only a few days later he was made earl of Mar, but as this See also:title was claimed by John, See also:Lord Erskine, Stuart resigned it and received a second See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

grant of the earldom of Murray, Huntly by this time having been killed in See also:battle
.
Henceforward he was known as the earl of See also:Moray, the alternative Murray being a more See also:modern and less correct variant
.
About this time the earl married See also:Anne (d
.
1583), daughter of See also:- WILLIAM

- WILLIAM (1227-1256)

After the defeat and See also:death of Huntly, the See also:leader of the See also:Catholic party, the policy of Murray met for a time with no obstacle, but he awakened the displeasure of the queen by his efforts in behalf of Knox when the latter was accused of high See also:treason; and as he was also opposed to her See also:marriage with See also:Darnley, he was after that event declared an outlaw and took See also:refuge in See also:England
.
Returning to Scotland after the See also:murder of See also:Rizzio, he was pardoned by the queen
.
He contrived, however, to be away at the time of Darnley's assassination, and avoided the tangles of the marriage with See also:Bothwell by going to France
.
After the See also:abdication of Queen Mary at Lochleven, in See also:July 1567, he was appointed regent of Scotland
.
When Mary escaped from Lochleven (May 2, 1568), the See also:duke of Chatelherault and other Catholic nobles rallied to her See also:standard, but Murray and the See also:Protestant lords gathered their adherents, defeated her forces at Langside, near See also:Glasgow (May 13, 1568), and compelled her to flee to England
.
Murray displayed promptness in baffling Mary's schemes, suppressed the border thieves, and ruled firmly, resisting the temptation to See also:place the See also:crown on his own See also:head
.
He observed the forms of See also:personal .piety; possibly he shared the zeal of the reformers, while he moderated their bigotry
.
But he reaped the fruits of the conspiracies which led to the murders of Rizzio and Darnley
.
He amassed too great a See also:fortune from the estates of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church to be deemed a pure reformer of its abuses
.
He pursued his See also:sister with a calculated animosity which would not have spared her life had this been necessary to his end or been favoured by See also:Elizabeth
.
The mode of producing the See also:casket letters and the false charges added by See also:Buchanan, deprive Murray of any claim to have been an honest accuser
.
His reluctance to See also:charge Mary with complicity in the murder of Darnley was feigned, and his See also:object was gained when he was allowed to table the See also:accusation without being forced to prove it
.
Mary remained a See also:captive under suspicion of the gravest See also:guilt, while Murray ruled Scotland in her See also:stead, supported by nobles who had taken See also:part in the steps which ended in Bothwell's See also:deed
.
During the See also:year between his becoming regent and his death several events occurred for which he has been censured, but which were necessary for his See also:security: the betrayal to Elizabeth of the duke of See also:Norfolk and of the See also:secret See also:plot for the liberation of Mary; the imprisonment of the earl of See also:Northumberland, who after the failure of his rising in the See also:north of England had taken refuge in Scotland; and the charge brought against See also:Maitland of Lethington of complicity in Darnley's murder
.
Lethington was committed to custody, but was rescued by Kirkaldy of See also:Grange, who held the See also:castle of See also:Edinburgh, and while there " the See also:chameleon," as Buchanan named Maitland in his famous invective, gained over those in the castle, including Kirkaldy
.
Murray was afraid to proceed with the charge on the See also:day of trial, while Kirkaldy and Maitland held the castle, which became the stronghold of the deposed queen's party
.
It has been suspected that Maitland and Kirkaldy were cognizant of the See also:design of See also:- HAMILTON

Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh to murder Murray, for he had been with them in the castle
.
This has been ascribed to privatevengeance for the See also:ill-treatment of his wife; but the See also:feud of the Hamiltons with the regent is the most reasonable explanation
.
As he rode through See also:Linlithgow Murray was shot on the 21st of See also:January 1570 from a window by Hamilton, who had made careful preparation for the murder and his own See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape
.
He was buried in the See also:south See also:aisle of St See also:Giles See also:Cathedral, Edinburgh, amid See also:general See also:mourning
.
Knox preached the See also:sermon and Buchanan furnished the See also:epitaph, both panegyrics
.
The See also:elder of his two daughters, Elizabeth, married James Stuart (d
.
1592), son of James, 1st Lord See also:Doune, who succeeded to the earldom of Murray in right of his wife
.
The materials for the life of Murray are found in the records and documents of the time, prominent among which are the various Calendars of See also:State Papers
