=14. Third Marriage of the Queen.=--Bothwell was now determined on marrying the Queen, and, after the parliament rose, he got many of the nobles to sign a bond agreeing to help him to do so. As he was already married to Huntly's sister, his wife had to be got rid of first. This was not now such an easy matter as it had been in former times. The canon law had been done away with along with the old Church; the Reformers had set up a court of their own to try such cases, while the Queen had lately restored the old one. To make the matter sure Bothwell's marriage was dissolved in both these courts. As the Queen was coming back from _Stirling_, where she had been to visit her child, Bothwell met her and carried her off to _Dunbar_, and on the day the divorce was sent they came back to _Edinburgh_ together. He was created _Duke of Orkney and Shetland_, and they were married by _Adam Bothwell_, who had been _Bishop of Orkney_, but was now one of the ministers of the new Church, May 15, 1567. =15. Surrender at Carberry.=--A fortnight later Mary called out the feudal force for an attack on the Borderers, but the barons did not answer to her summons. On this the Queen and Bothwell, alarmed at the increasing signs of discontent, shut themselves up in his strong castle of _Borthwick_, but they were scarcely there before an army with the Lords _Morton_ and _Home_ at its head appeared at its gates, and they fled to _Dunbar_. The barons then entered _Edinburgh_; the governor of the Castle gave it up to them. They had the Prince in their hands, and they took measures for carrying on the government, though they still professed to act in the Queen's name, and to be only striving to free her from Bothwell. He meanwhile had mustered his followers, who, though nearly equal in numbers, were in discipline far inferior to their opponents. The two armies came in sight near _Musselburgh_, but there was no battle, for the Queen surrendered to _William Kirkcaldy_ of _Grange_, who had been sent out with a body of horse to cut off her retreat to Dunbar, at _Carberry_, June 15, 1567, on condition that Bothwell should be allowed to return to _Dunbar_ unhurt. Bothwell escaped first to his own dukedom of Orkney, and afterwards to _Denmark_, where he died about ten years later.
