George, 5th Lord Seton (About 1531 - 1585) and his Family

Artist: Frans Pourbus the Elder (Netherlandish, 1545-1581)

Date: 1572

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland

Description

George Seton is shown here surrounded by his four sons and his daughter. He was a Catholic and a loyal supporter of Mary Queen of Scots, whom he helped to escape from Holyrood Palace after the murder of David Rizzio. Seton was also involved in Mary’s flight from Lochleven Castle, where she had been imprisoned. Following Mary’s escape, Seton acted as her ambassador to the Duke of Alva in the Spanish Netherlands, and it was during this posting in 1572 that this portrait was painted. The figures each have their initials and age inscribed beside them, although it is not certain if these were added by Pourbus or by another hand at a later date.

It is my life mission to spread the knowledge that Michaela Stirling could historically accurately inherit a Scottish earldom [read here] but I plan to add more, or do another peerages post, now that this is specifically relevant. You can drop q’s about peerage/titles in my ask anytime!

Are the british high society still wear tiara on non royal events?

I think there are still private formal events where they would wear tiaras but since I’m not a member of British High Society I don’t really know.  A more public event is the Royal Caledonian Ball which happens every year in London and is in aid of Scottish charities.
