James Graham, The Marquis of Montrose
The
Marquis of Montrose was perhaps the most tragic, brilliant and romantic
figure of the British civil wars.He became the King's Champion in all
of Scotland and fought a brilliant campaign against extraordinary
odds battling the grim Government Covenanter forces.
With
a cadre of three Irish regiments, largely veterans from the Continent
and aided by an ever changing alliance of Highland Clans, Montrose
smashed army after army, sometimes in pitched battle, other times in
skirmishes and raids.
He
was a very accomplished general, winning so much with so little, time
and again. It was his ability to enthuse and inspire his men and keep
them together long enough for a common cause that perhaps was his
greatest virtue, though his personal bravery in a madcap campaign must
also be applauded.

Montrose reigning in his horse, telescope in hand , once again
attempting to out- fox his wily Scot enemies.
