Major-General Henry Scott, 1st Earl of Deloraine KB (1676 – 25 December 1730) was a Scottish military officer and peer.
Life
Scott was the second surviving son of James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth (the illegitimate son of King Charles II by his mistress Lucy Walter) by his wife Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch, daughter of Francis Scott, 2nd Earl of Buccleuch. In 1693, he married Anne Duncombe (d. 1720), a daughter of William Duncombe of Batthesden, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. They had three surviving children:
- Francis Scott, 2nd Earl of Deloraine (1710–39)
- Henry Scott, 3rd Earl of Deloraine (1712–40)
- Lady Anne Scott (c.1720–?), died unmarried.
In 1706, Queen Anne created him Earl of Deloraine.[1] He was elected to the last Scottish Parliament that year and voted in favour of the Acts of Union. In 1725 he was vested with the Order of the Bath.[2] In 1727 he was appointed a Gentleman of the Bedchamber.[3]
In 1726, Deloraine married Mary Howard, the granddaughter of Col. Philip Howard, and the great-granddaughter of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Berkshire, both of the Howard family, and they had two daughters:[1]
- Lady Georgiana Caroline Scott (1727–1809), married James Peachey, 1st Baron Selsey.
- Lady Henrietta Scott (b. 1728–?), married Nicolas Boyce.
On 9 July 1730, Deloraine was commissioned as a colonel in the 6th Dragoon Guards, the King's Carabiners (c. 1691), and his coat of arms was recorded as follows: "ARMS. Or, on a bend Azure, a star between two crescents of the field. CREST. A stag trippant, proper. SUPPORTERS. Two maidens richly attired in antique habits, their under robe Vert, the middle one Azure, and the uppermost Gules, and each plumed on her head with feathers. MOTTO. 'Amo'."[4]
Lord Deloraine died suddenly on Christmas Day in 1730 in Leadwell (now Ledwell), Oxfordshire, and is buried at Sandford St. Martin, Oxfordshire. His second wife, who had been a royal mistress of King George II,[5] remarried, and she is buried at Windsor.[1]
