James Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Arran
James Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Arran (c. 1532–1609) was a Scottish nobleman and soldier who opposed the French-dominated regency during the Scottish Reformation.

He was of royal descent, and at times was third or fourth in succession to the Scottish crown; several royal marriages were proposed for him. He went to France with Mary, Queen of Scots, and commanded the Scots Guards. After returning to Scotland, he became a leader of the Protestant party against Mary and her French supporters, but went insane in 1562 and was confined in seclusion for the rest of his life.
