Francis Scott, 2nd Duke of Buccleuch KT FRS (11 January 1695 – 22 April 1751) was a Scottish nobleman. ==Family background== Buccleuch was the son of Sir James Scott, Earl of Dalkeith (son of James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth and Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch) and Lady Henrietta Hyde, daughter of Laurence Hyde, 1st Earl of Rochester. He was baptised on 20 January 1695 in St. James's Church, Westminster.〔''Thepeerage.com''. Accessed 16 March 2008.〕〔Doyle, James William Edmund.

At the same time, other titles in the Scottish peerage came his way: Earl of Dalkeith and Baron Scott of Whitchester and Eskdale. His grandfather, the Duke of Monmouth, was the illegitimate son of Charles II who raised a rebellion upon James II's accession to the English throne, and was beheaded for it. Monmouth's noble titles were consequently forfeit; but in March 1743 two of those titles were restored to his progeny when the House of Lords passed a bill making Buccleuch the 2nd Earl of Doncaster, as well as 2nd Baron Scott of Tindall, both in the English peerage (conferred 22 March 1743).〔''Journals of the House of Lords'', vol. 26.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francis Scott, 2nd Duke of Buccleuch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
