| After his father's death, in spite of the attainder, he is occasionally styled 'Earl of Bothwell' and Lord Stewart and Bothwell. He on his marriage obtained a rehabilitation under the Great Seal, dated Whitehall 30 July 1614, but reserving the rights of those who had been granted his father's forfeited lands. This rehabilitation was ratified by Parliament 1633.' In 1630 he was ' absent from the country.' He obtained recovery by decreet arbitral of Charles I of part of the family estates, which he sold to the Winton family. He lived in straitened circumstances, in 1637 petitioning King Oliarles I. to be made Printer to the King in Ireland for fifty-one years.10 | ||
