The section on his heirship to the Scottish throne makes me think, was it just the Scottish one or the English one too-If the House of Stuart had failed, would that have been the end of the personal union or not? Obviously the union of the crowns came about as the Stuarts were the next heirs after the Tudors to the English throne, but does that mean the Hamiltons were next after the Stuarts in England, just like they were in Scotland and if not then who were the next English heirs. I know that the Hamiltons were not themselves related to the Tudors as their lineage derives from James II of Scotland whilst the Stuart connection only goes back to James V of Scotland, whose mother was the sister of Henry VIII. But since that meant that on the death of Elizabeth I, her closest legitimate relative was James VI, would her next heir after his family be his closest legitimate relative, the Duke of Hamilton, or the next closest legitimate blood relative of Elizabeth I? -Whom Im not sure that would be, but Im mainly curious with just knowing how it would work, according to the rules of prigomenture. It's a quite complicated succession issue, so does anyone know-would it be James VI & I's relative, the Duke of Hamilton, (as in Scotland) or Elizabeth I's relative that the English throne would go to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nocrowx ( talk • contribs) 12:44, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
This section's topic is inherently subjective. This sort of thing shouldn't be included in Wikipedia except in the form of reporting what (specific) historians have said, with references. This section, as written, merely presents its opinions as unreferenced fact, in other words unverifiable original research. Hairy Dude ( talk) 12:41, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
Om what charges were Hamilton tried? From a modern point of view his execution seems to be a war crime. Creuzbourg ( talk) 16:22, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
