George Seton III, 5th Lord Seton

George Seton, who succeeded as third Lord Seton, had, on 25 January 1506-7, with Jonet Hepburn his spouse, charter of lands in Seytoun, East Barnis and Lang Niddrie, on his father's resignation, being designed son and heir apparent of George, Lord Seytoun. On 6 April 1508 he had, as George, Lord Seton, with his said spouse, charter of the lands of Wyntoun and Mills, on his own resignation. He witnessed a protestation by the Archbishop of Glasgow, following on a commission dated 6 August 1509. On 19 April 1510 he had licence to go abroad, with protection from legal process for himself and those that should accompany him, for three years and forty days. He redeemed the lands of Barnes, the Mains and mill of Winchburgh, and certain lands in Tranent, which had been mortgaged by his father, and on 1 February 1511-12 he and his spouse had charter of confirmation of the lands and barony of Barnes. He seems to have built Niddrie Castle, and he completed parts of Seton House, and improved the collegiate church. He was an intimate of King James IV., along with whom he was killed at the battle of Flodden, 9 September 1513; he was buried in the choir of Seton Church.
George, third Lord Seton married before December 1506 Jane or Johanna, otherwise Jonet or Janet Hepburne, elder daughter of the first marriage of Patrick, first Earl of Bothwell with Jane (or Joanna) Douglas, daughter of James, first Earl of Morton.
She survived her husband nearly forty-five years. Maitland records that she managed her son's property until he came of age, after which she took up residence at the convent of St. Catherine of Siena, near Edinburgh, which had been founded before 29 January 1517-18, partly at her instance, and was built principally at her expense. She was a liberal benefactress of the Collegiate Church of Seton, to which she added in 1541, and she founded two chaplainries for the increase of divine service in the same, endowing them with lands purchased during her widowliood; her foundation was confirmed by John, Arclibishop of St. Andrews, on 20 July 1556. She purchased the lands of Foulstruther, and bestowed them upon her grandson John Seton of Oariston, and she was most generous to her descendants, and charitable to the poor. She died at St. Catherine's after 10 May 1558, and was buried in the choir of Seton Church, beside her husband.
Their issue was:
1. George, who died in infancy.
2. George, who succeeded.
3. Archibald, who died young.
4. Marion, who was married first, without issue, to Thomas, Master of Borthwick. This marriage was annulled by papal decree, the parties being within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity, and she was married secondly, apparently after 30 January and certainly before 8 February 1530-31, to Hugh, Master of Eglintoun, by whom she had issue. Pope Clement VII., on 21 June 1539, granted a dispensation permitting the parties to marry, notwithstanding consanguinity, third degree. The Master succeeded as second Earl of Eglinton, and died 3 September 1546. His wife survived him, and was married thirdly, before 24 March 1552-53, to Alexander Graham of Wallastoun. She died between 1558 and 30 September 1561.

George Seton III, 5th Lord Seton

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Seton,_5th_Lord_Seton

George Seton III, 5th Lord Seton (died 1513) was a Scottish nobleman. He is sometimes referred to as the 3rd Lord Seton because he was the 3rd Lord Seton with the name of George.

He succeeded his father, the 4th Lord, on his death in 1508. During his brief tenure he carried out works at Seton Palace, the family seat in East Lothian, and made further donations to Seton Collegiate Church, which had been established by his ancestors.

Lord Seton was a companion of King James IV of Scotland, and went with him on the expedition into England in 1513. This campaign ended at the disastrous Battle of Flodden Field, where on 9 September, King James and Lord Seton were among the thousands of Scots who were killed. Lord Seton's body was returned to Scotland and interred at Seton Church beside that of his father.

Janet Hepburn

Before January 1507, George Seton married Lady Janet Hepburn, daughter of Patrick Hepburn, 1st Earl of Bothwell. They had one surviving son, who later succeeded as 6th Lord Seton, and a daughter, Mariota (or Marion), who married, firstly Thomas, Master of Borthwick, secondly in 1530 she married Hugh Montgomerie, 2nd Earl of Eglinton, and thirdly, Alexander Graham of Wallacetown.

After Flodden, Lady Seton lived as a widow for another forty-five years. A pious lady, she continued to make gifts to Seton Church, and had new extensions built. When her son, the young Lord Seton, came of age, she retired to the Convent of Saint Catherine of Siena, at Edinburgh. This convent, founded 1517 by a bull of Pope Leo X, also benefitted from Lady Seton's donations. She died here in 1558 and was buried next to her husband at Seton.
