The point is debatable, and has never been finally determined. The balance of evidence seems rather in favour of Lady Janet Stuart, daughter of John, Earl of Atholl. James, because of Cowrie's supposed precedence, as a competitor for the English throne, evidently resolved in his own mind that, whatever the con- sequences. Cowrie must be removed, as Elizabeth, in his opinion, would undoubtedly prefer Cowrie, 96 / "^. M MARV, WIFE OF JAMES, FIFTH LORD RUTHVEN OF FREELAND, AND DAUGHTER OF WALTER C...AMPBELL OF ISLAY AND SHAWFIELD THE GOWRIE PLOT who was an accomplished scholar, and the hand- somest young man of his time. These were points that would influence the English Queen in the nomination of her successor; and further, James was indebted to Gowrie in a large sum of money, advanced on mortgage by the first Earl, and he evidently believed that Cowrie's removal would for ever extinguish and cancel the debt. John, Earl of Gowrie, is said to have spent nearly two months at the English Court on his way home from Padua, and this would appear to have been a period of great nervous excitement on James' part, for he knew that Elizabeth had received Gowrie with open arms, and treated him with lavish hos- pitality, ordered the Court to supply him with a bodyguard, and to treat him in every respect as a royal person, all expenses paid out of the English Exchequer.
