Events
Born:11before 1568

During the night of 7 February 1591-92, when he was alone in the house, with exception of Dunbar, Sheriff of Moray, and a few servants, he was attacked by the Earl of Huntly and his followers. The house was set on fire, and Dunbar in rushing out was instantly killed. Moray himself succeeded in reaching the seashore, and might have escaped had not a silken tassel on his cap caught fire and betrayed him to the enemy. He was slaughtered under circumstances of extreme barbarity, and the news which reached Edinburgh next day excited the utmost popular indignation.
