b ) He claimed the Earldom of Enzie and the Barony Gordon of Badenoch [S.], which
appear (see p. 299, note " d,") to have been IT. in 1599, at the same time as the Marquessate of IIuntly, but his right to the latter title (only) was allowed. ("•") His lung career is shewn by what Gronow says of him, viz., that he " danced with Marie Antoinette, the Princess Charlotte, and Queen Victoria."
