Robert Cochrane (favourite)
Robert Cochrane (possibly died 1482) is said to have been an architect or mason who lived in the reign of King James III of Scotland and who became a royal favourite. His influence over the king is said to have incurred the wrath of the aristocracy, culminating in a ''coup'' in which he was killed.
There exists a good deal of controversy about the accuracy of the received story of his influence on the king, linked to broader issues about the reign of James III. These issues concern the theme of a king taking advice from low-born favourites rather than from established noble councillors.
==Story==
The traditional view is that James was a cultured man in the context of his time, but otherwise had some serious character flaws, a weak king and a dilettante who surrounded himself with a group of talented but low-born favourites. Cochrane was the most important of these favourites. He is said to have designed the Great Hall at Stirling Castle, and perhaps that at Falkland.〔Fiona Somerset Fry & Peter Somerset Fry, ''The History of Scotland'', Routledge, London, 1992, p.111.〕 To some extent he governed the country during the 1470s. He is said to have advised the king to debase the coinage in order to raise cash. He was opposed by the king's younger brothers, Alexander Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany and John Stewart, Earl of Mar. Stewart was arrested and imprisoned, dying shortly thereafter; Albany escaped and gathered support in England.〔 The king is said to have given Cochrane the title of Earl of Mar after his brother's death, though no record of this survives.〔N. A. T. Macdougall, ‘“It is I, the earle of Mar”: in search of Thomas Cochrane’, R. Mason and N. A. T. Macdougall (eds.), People and Power in Scotland: Essays in Honour of T. C. Smout (Edinburgh, 1992), 28–49, 42–3.〕
