15th Ld Garioch, 22nd Earl of Mar (ancient earldom)(according to Burke's)
10th Lord Erskine.

Often raised troops of infantry and horses to strengthen the garrison at Stirling Castle.
Found difficulty in switching allegiance to the Prince of Orange after the dispossession of James II,
with the result he was imprisoned in the Castle of Stirling, where he died in1689.

Sir Charles succeeded to the earldom at age 14 and had a grant of his father's escheat on 8 Oct. 1668. He had a sasine of his lands from certain creditors on 19 Sept. 1670 and a Crown charter of the earldom on 25 Mar. 1674. He had another charter 1 June 1677. In 1670 he was given a charter to have a weekly fair and market at Kildrummy .
In 1679 he raised the 21st regiment of foot or Royal Scots Fusileers of which he was appointed colonel.
In 1681 he was empowered to receive a small toll from passengers passing over the Tullebody bridge for repairs.
In 1682 he was sworn a lord of the Scots privy council and continued one in the reign of James II, but he did not approve of that monarch's arbitrary measures or pro-Catholic policy and in 1686 he voted against the Act for releasing the papists from the penal statutes against them and thereby lost favour with the King and was deprived of his office as keeper of Stirling castle.
In 1688 he was ordered to attack the Highlanders who were in rebellion and as a consequence his castles of Kildrummy, Corgarf and Braemar were burned.
He retired to the continent when news of the arrival of the Prince of Orange arrived in Scotland. He appeared at the Convention of Estates at Edinburgh 14 March 1689, but gave the Viscount Dundee a promise that he would accompany him to a proposed convention of the King's friends to be held at Stirling. After Dundee's abrupt departure with his troopers from Edinburgh Charles was apprehended in a feigned attempt to escape from the capital, but was released on giving his word that he would not leave the city without the permission of the convention. He died the following May without a will, the incomplete inventory showing £1,063 of silver plate, £1,052 for books and arms and the rest for horses for a total of £4,807.
