James Hepburn, 1st Duke of Orkney and 4th Earl of Bothwell, was a prominent Scottish nobleman. He was known for his association with, abduction of, and marriage to Mary, Queen of Scots, as her third and final husband. He was accused of the murder of Mary's second husband, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, a charge of which he was acquitted. His marriage to Mary was controversial and divided the country; when he fled the growing rebellion to Scandinavia to Norway to try to restart a relationship with a woman called Anna Thorensen, from Hardanger he was arrested because of breach of promise to her before he married Mary, she had a home in the North of England and was friends with Mary, she returned to Norway after he smote her. He was found guilty and exiled. He spent the rest of his life imprisoned in Denmark.
