  • Earl of Rothes (pronounced "Roth-is") is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1458 for George Leslie, 1st Lord Leslie. He had already been created Lord Leslie in 1445, also in the Peerage of Scotland. His grandson, the third Earl, having only succeeded his elder brother in March 1513, was killed at the Battle of Flodden on 9 September of the same year. His son, the fourth Earl, served as an Extraordinary Lord of Session. Lord Rothes was also tried for the murder of Cardinal Beaton but was acquitted. His great-great-grandson, the seventh Earl, was a prominent statesman. He was notably Lord High Treasurer of Scotland from 1663 to 1667 and Lord Chancellor of Scotland from 1667 to 1681. In 1663 he obtained a new charter conferring the earldom of Rothes and lordship of Leslie (which was regranted as Lord Leslie and Ballenbreich), in default of male issue of his own, on his eldest daughter Margaret, wife of Charles Hamilton, 5th Earl of Haddington, and her descendants male and female. It was stipulated in the charter that the earldoms of Rothes and Haddington should never be allowed to merge. In 1680 Lord Rothes was further honoured when he was made Lord Auchmotie and Caskieberry, Viscount of Lugtoun, Earl of Leslie, Marquess of Bambreich and Duke of Rothes, with normal remainder to the heirs male of his body. These titles were also in the Peerage of Scotland. The Duke had no sons and on his death in 1681 the creations of 1680 became extinct. He was succeeded in the earldom of Rothes and the lordship of Leslie and Ballinbreich according to the charter of 1663 by his daughter Margaret, the eighth holder. Her husband Lord Haddington was succeeded by their second son Thomas (see the Earl of Haddington for more information on this title) while Margaret was succeeded by their eldest son John, the ninth Earl. He assumed the additional surname of Leslie and sat in the British House of Lords as a Scottish Representative Peer between 1708 and 1710. His son, the tenth Earl, was a Lieutenant-General in the Army and notably served as Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in Ireland. From 1723 to 1734 and from 1747 to 1767 he was a Scottish Representative Peer in the House of Lords. His son, the eleventh Earl, died unmarried at an early age and was succeeded by his eldest sister Jane Elizabeth, the twelfth holder of the titles, despite the rival claim of her uncle Andrew. She was the wife firstly of George Raymond Evelyn, and secondly of Sir Lucas Pepys. Her son by her first husband, the thirteenth Earl, served as a Scottish Representative Peer from 1812 to 1817. Lord Rothes assumed the surname of Leslie in lieu of Evelyn. He was succeeded by his daughter Henrietta Anne, the fourteenth holder. She was the wife of George Gwyther who along with his wife assumed the surname of Leslie. Their grandson, the sixteenth Earl (who succeeded his father) died unmarried at a young age and was succeeded by his sister Henrietta, the seventeenth holder. She was the wife of the Hon. George Waldegrave, younger son of William Waldegrave, 8th Earl Waldegrave. * They had no children and Henrietta was succeeded by her aunt Mary Elizabeth, the eighteenth holder. She was the second daughter of Henrietta Anne, the fourteenth holder, and the wife of Captain Martin Edward Haworth, who in 1886 assumed for himself and his family by Royal licence the additional surname of Leslie. Their grandson, the nineteenth Earl, sat in the House of Lords as a Scottish Representative Peer between 1906 and 1923. The wife of the 19th Earl, Lucy Noël Martha Leslie, Countess of Rothes, is best known as a survivor of the sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912. His son, the twentieth Earl, was a Scottish Representative Peer from 1931 to 1959. As of 2017 the titles are held by his grandson, the twenty-second Earl, who succeeded his father in 2005. The courtesy title used by an heir apparent to the earldom is Lord Leslie. The Earls of Rothes are the hereditary Clan Chiefs of Clan Leslie The family seat is Littlecroft, near West Milton, Dorset.

  • Conte di Rothes (pronounciato "Roth-is") è un titolo della Parìa di Scozia. Esso venne creato nel 1458 per George Leslie, I lord Leslie. Egli era già stato creato Lord Leslie nel 1445, sempre nella Parìa di Scozia. Suo nipote, il terzo conte, venne succeduto dal fratello nel marzo 1513 dal momento che egli rimase ucciso nella Battaglia di Flodden il 9 settembre di quello stesso anno. Suo figlio, il quarto conte, prestò servizio come . Lord Rothes venne inoltre processato per l'omicidio del cardinale Beaton ma venne rilasciato. Un suo discendente, il settimo conte, fu un importante uomo di stato. Egli fu dal 1663 al 1667 e dal 1667 al 1681. Nel 1663 ottenne la possibilità di conferire la contea di Rothes e la signoria di Leslie (riconcessa col nome di Lord Leslie e Ballenbreich), anziché agli eredi maschi semplicemente, alla figlia maggiore Margherita, moglie di Charles Hamilton, V conte di Haddington, ed ai suoi discendenti in linea maschile e femminile. Venne inoltre stabilito che le contee di Rothes e Haddington non sarebbero state mai unite. Nel 1680 Lord Rothes ottenne altri titoli: Lord Auchmotie e Caskieberry, Visconte di Lugtoun, Conte di Leslie, Marchese di Bambreich e Duca di Rothes, con una normale concessione agli eredi maschi. Questi titoli furono concessi sempre nella Parìa di Scozia. Il duca non ebbe figli e pertanto alla sua morte nel 1681 le creazioni del 1680 divennero estinte. Venne succeduto quindi nella contea di Rothes e nella signoria di Leslie e Ballinbreich secondo la carta del 1663 da sua figlia Margaret, l'ottava detentrice dei titoli. Suo marito Lord Haddington venne succeduto dal loro secondo figlio, Thomas (vedi Conte di Haddington per altre informazioni su questo titolo) mentre Margherita venne succeduta nei titoli paterni dal figlio terzogenito John, il nono conte. Egli assunse il cognome tradizionale di Leslie e sedette nella Camera dei Lords come pari di Scozia dal 1708 al 1710. Suo figlio, il decimo conte, fu Luogotenente Generale dell'Esercito e prestò servizio come Comandante in Capo delle Forze in Irlanda. Dal 1723 al 1724 e dal 1747 al 1767 fu rappresentante scozzese ala Camera dei Lords. Suo figlio, l'undicesimo conte, morì senza figli in tenera età e venne succeduto dalla sorella primogenita Jane Elizabeth, la dodicesima detentrice dei titoli. Ella era moglie di George Raymond Evelyn ed il figlio della coppia, il tredicesimo conte, prestò servizio come pari di Scozia alla Camera dei Lords dal 1812 al 1817. Lord Rothes assunse il cognome di Leslie anziché Evelyn. Venne succeduto da sua figlia Henrietta Anne, la quattordicesima insignita del titolo. Questa era moglie di George Gwyther che assieme alla moglie assunse il cognome di Leslie. Il loro nipote, il sedicesimo conte (che succedette a suo padre) morì senza eredi in giovane età e venne succeduto da sua sorella Henrietta, la diciassettesima contessa. Questa era moglie di George Waldegrave, figlio minore di . La coppia non ebbe figli ed Henrietta venne succeduta da sua zia Mary Elizabeth, la diciottesima contessa. Ella era figlia secondogenita della quattordicesima detentrice dei titoli Henrietta Anne, e moglie del capitano Martin Edward Haworth, che nel 1886 assunse per decreto reale anche il cognome di Leslie. Il loro nipote, il diciannovesimo conte, sedette nella Camera dei Lord come pari di Scozia dal 1906 al 1923. La moglie del XIX conte, Lucy Noël Martha Leslie, contessa di Rothes, è nota per essere stata una delle sopravvissute all'affondamento del RMS Titanic nel 1912. Suo figlio, il ventesimo conte, fu pari di Scozia alla camera dei Lords dal 1931 al 1959. Il titolo di cortesia utilizzato dall'erede apparente della contea è Lord Leslie. (it)
