| - William Forbes, 7th Lord Forbes (1513-1593) was a Scottish landowner. William was the son of John, 6th Lord Forbes and Christian Lundie. His eldest son John, Master of Forbes, and his half-brother "Black" Arthur Forbes signed a band on 27 April 1560 at Edinburgh with other Scottish nobles committing themselves to Protestant reformation, and to join with the English army sent to expel French troops from Scotland. In July 1568 Forbes was at Largs with the Earl of Argyll and with others signed a letter to the Duke of Alva complaining of the treatment of Mary, Queen of Scots in England, and asking him to write to Philip II of Spain to petition Elizabeth I of England and to send troops into Scotland against their enemies. Despite this, William was reckoned by English diplomats to be a friend to England. He took sides against the supporters Mary, Queen of Scots in the Marian Civil War. The Earl of Huntly sent troops against him in October 1571, and the king's side sent 200 men to aid him. "Black" Arthur Forbes, the earl's brother, was killed at the Battle of Tillieangus. They fought again in Aberdeen at the Battle of Craibstone and John, Master of Forbes, was captured and taken to Huntly Castle. The English ambassador Henry Carey was inclined to view this as a "private quarrel" or feud between the Forbes and Gordons. In 1590 John, Master of Forbes, was accused of imprisoning his father in a chamber at Druminnor Castle and hitting him on the head with the pommel of his sword. Two younger sons, Robert Forbes Commendator of Monymusk and James Forbes of Fechell brought their father's complaint to the Privy Council, but the Master of Forbes denied it. The Council declared that Drumminor should be kept by William Forbes of Tolquhoun and others till Lord Forbes came to Edinburgh or sent further testimony. In May 1591 the Master of Forbes claimed his brothers had turned his father against him, and while Lord Forbes was lying sick at Dundee they had entered and robbed the House of Druminnor. The younger Forbes brothers obtained royal letters against the Master of Forbes to support their occupation of Druminnor. In November 1591 Lord Forbes made an alliance with George Keith, 5th Earl Marischal, Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll, and others against the Earl of Huntly. In 1592 Forbes and Huntly promoted rival candidates as Provost of Aberdeen. (en)
