Marquess of Queensberry is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. The title has been held since its creation in 1682 by a member of the Douglas family. The Marquesses also held the title of Duke of Queensberry from 1684 to 1810, when it was inherited by the Duke of Buccleuch. The feudal barony of Drumlanrig was held by William Douglas, illegitimate son of James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas, some time before 1427, when he died. His descendant William Douglas, 9th of Drumlanrig, was created the 1st Earl of Queensberry in 1633. The subsidiary titles of Lord Queensberry are: Earl of Queensberry (created 1633), Viscount Drumlanrig (1628) and Lord Douglas of Hawick and Tibbers (1628), all in the peerage of Scotland. He is also a Scottish baronet, styled "of Kelhead", created 26 February 1668, so the 6th Marquess was the 5th Baronet. The courtesy title used by Lord Queensberry's eldest son and heir is ''Viscount Drumlanrig''. There is no special courtesy title for Lord Drumlanrig's eldest son and heir. The 9th Marquess is particularly well-known because of the rules of boxing that were named after him (the ''Marquess of Queensberry'' rules), and for his litigious interaction with Oscar Wilde. In 22 June 1893, Queen Victoria raised Francis Archibald Douglas, the heir of the 9th Marquess, to the peerage of the United Kingdom as Baron Kelhead. Francis Douglas died without descendants the following year and the title "Baron Kelhead" became extinct. ==Lairds of Drumlanrig== *William Douglas, 1st of Drumlanrig (died 1427) *William Douglas, 2nd of Drumlanrig (died 1458) *William Douglas, 3rd of Drumlanrig (died 1464) *William Douglas, 4th of Drumlanrig (died 1484) *James Douglas, 5th of Drumlanrig (died 1498) *William Douglas, 6th of Drumlanrig (died 1513) *James Douglas, 7th of Drumlanrig (died 1578) *James Douglas, 8th of Drumlanrig (died 1615) *William Douglas, 1st Earl of Queensberry (died 1640) (became Earl of Queensberry in 1633) 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「Marquess of Queensberry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
